His opponent, G Filkins, was the more experienced boxer of the two, but Mason took the contest to him for all three rounds with his powerful two-handed southpaw punches.

Bobbing and weaving Mason caught him and hurt him with his powerful two-handed combinations to head and body. This was the pattern of the contest for all three rounds to earn Mason a well-deserved unanimous decision from all three judges’ scorecards.
