Through the first half, Bell kept Mason at bay with sharp counter‑punching, though he allowed the champion to get inside and land stinging shots. But in the second half, the belt‑holder turned up the heat with his trademark pressure and took complete control. The decisive moment came in round 12: Mason first floored Bell with a heavy left, then dropped him again in the very next exchange, forcing referee Mark Nelson to wave it off.

Victory by TKO.
