Once-defeated cruiserweight fighter Floyd Masson is facing a challenge. His matches tend to be too exciting. The left-handed fighter from New Zealand, who is now based in Brisbane, Australia, learned this lesson the hard way during a fight in September against Yves Ngabu from Belgium. While Masson had a strong start, the bout escalated into a slugfest where Ngabu’s strength ultimately prevailed. Despite Masson’s tenacity, he was eventually defeated by Ngabu in the sixth round, resulting in a tough loss.
Masson’s aggressive fighting style has brought him success in the past, especially in a thrilling win against Mark Flanagan and a memorable bout with Fabio Turchi. However, such intense performances can potentially shorten a boxer’s career. As Masson gears up to take on Joshua Francis, a formidable opponent from Auckland, he must resist the urge to get caught up in brawls and instead concentrate on a more strategic game plan.
Having undergone successful surgery to recover from elbow injuries, Masson is excited to demonstrate his improved health and skills in the upcoming match. By emphasizing boxing technique and discipline, Masson aims to steer clear of turning every fight into a battle and instead focus on executing a well-thought-out strategy for a smoother route to victory.
