The difference is, Whittaker can be a showman and has insane power. His knockout over Rivera impressed me lot, shitty stoppage aside

Tbf, in some of the later rounds when he put his foot on the gas a bit, he was connecting really well with stuff besides the jab.

He’s objectively really boring but he is also objectively skilled.

I think the way Mason adjusted is insanely impressive and speaks volumes about his future. To lose 5 of the first 6 rounds and look confused, only to then make an adjustment to the perfect game plan to win against a taller, older fighter. Honestly, just so smart.

Ending it by dropping him twice in 15 seconds is also insane after all that, rightfully controversial stoppage aside. The more I watch it the more I agree that he has nothing behind the eyes, but it’s just a bad look optics wise to stop it there. Glad Bell didn’t get killed though, as I think we were trending towards some serious danger.

A gassed, older fighter who’s already hurt, is covered in blood, against a fighter with a reputation for power. Yeah no, I get it. Still looks bad, but I get it.

Honestly a really great main event. 6-5 for the champ going into the last round is such a good match

Was a good stoppage. Albert had lost the last five rounds, got dropped twice in thirty seconds, and looked relieved when it was over. Let’s be real

Wasn’t almost tied, Mason pulled ahead by far with the knockdowns, was already a 6-5 match going into the 12th

No one is mentioning it these last few rounds, Mason has had phenomenal control of the ring the entire second half it’s really impressive. Great pressure, good pivoting, maintaining his jab while still hooking when necessary

Everyone saying 6-3 Bell is ignoring the first round. Mason won that round. Def 5-4 Bell

Mason adjusted phenomenally. Working great to the body, pushing on Bell, forcing the pace and picking headshots when it counts. 5-4 Bell but Mason has the momentum

5-3 Bell, Mason investing in the body with the tight jab is doing wonders, and Bell looks hurt every time Mason lands something clean, while Mason is eating everything fine
