Mason stopped Bell in the 12th in a competitive fight against Albert Bell to retain the WBO title, dropping him twice in the final round — he’s now 21-0 (18 KOs), Bell falls to 28-1.
Bell banked the first half on reach and timing some had it a shutout through six. Round 7, Mason went to the body. By the 10th, Bell was empty. Controversial 12th round TKO.
Here is the controversy the first knockdown was clean a straight left and follow-up shots but on the second, Bell moved in to clinch and appeared forced down by Mason’s weight, and the referee waved it off without a count 🤷♂️.

Fight week in Cleveland!
Two unbeaten records.
Mason - 22, southpaw, youngest champ in the sport, 85% KO rate
Bell - 33, rangy orthodox boxer who likes to keep it long , 165 pro rounds, National Golden Gloves pedigree
Orthodox Bell vs southpaw Mason = a lead-foot war.
Bell’s the taller man, but Mason owns the reach that inversion decides who controls range.
Bell wants length, angles, deep water.
Mason wants to walk him down and close the show.
This is a tougher test than Cordina.
