‘Sam Noakes’ speed and timing gives him the edge over Abdullah Mason’

“This fight will decide how good Mason is, I think, and how his future’s going to go, because this is a really great crossroads fight for two young, undefeated fighters. This is the big question-mark fight for them both – how good he is, and we’re going to find out a lot more about Mason in this fight than any fight he’s had. He’s fighting a young, hungry, undefeated, big-punching English lad who’s a British, Commonwealth and European champion. He’s fighting one of the best over this side of the water, so how good he is is going to be defined in this fight.
