Abdullah Mason vs Carlos Ornelas Profiles Compared
Aged just 21, Mason is the new sensation in the lightweight division. With a professional record of 17-0-0, the US native is a knockout artist and is gradually paving his way to legendary status. The youngster reminds us of a certain Floyd Mayweather with his impressive professional record and boxing style, yet professional analysts say it’s too early to draw such comparisons. Mason comes to this fight ranking #7 by the WBC and #8 by the WBO in the Lightweight division. On the other hand, we have the very experienced 30-year-old Carlos Ornelas, AKA “Chinito”, a fine Mexican boxer with a professional record of 28-5-0. Both fighters have 15 wins by KO.
Key Statistics to Consider
Mason is 10 years younger than Ornelas and has been involved in 15 fewer fights than the Mexican. Further, he has fought 100 lesser professional rounds. Mason is 7cm taller and has an 18cm reach edge over Chinito. Regarding the current streak, Mason won his last 5 fights by Knockout. The last of which was against Manuel Jaimes just a month ago. Ornelas, on the other hand, is on a 1-loss streak after losing to Elnur Abduraimov almost a year ago. Before that, he won Javier Franco, then David Moreno. The last 5 fights of Abdullar Mason occurred in approximately 12 months and lasted on average 3 rounds.
This won’t be the first time Mason takes on a more experienced and older fighter. On November 08th, 2024, he won Yohan Vasquez, aged 30, by Knockout. Then he was 20, and that win is often regarded as his best so far. When it comes to knockout power, Mason has the advantage of 88% compared with 54% for Ornela. With such combined knockout power, we shouldn’t be surprised if the fight doesn’t get past the 3rd round.
