He was commentating for quite some time as I recall - I remember that he was always quite anti Lennox Lewis whenever Lewis was fighting, think he bore quite a grudge over that loss to Lewis - was trying to remember - was it cuts he was stopped on against Lewis?

He was stopped on a badly swollen eye - later revealed to be a detached retina.

He did seem to go a bit anti-Lewis later but I remember he was really cheerleading Lennox after the Ruddock fight.

Can't remember Mason commentating, but remember him being a studio pundit a few times. He's tried so many different things, post-boxing: rugby, arm-wrestling, music management, DJing, websites, security...

The last time I saw a head like that, I was watching a documentary on Easter Island.
:lol: x2

I interviewed him a few years back and I can't say he struck me as being particularly small. Did a good piece on him, if I may say so myself, and pitched it to BN, who I was doing features for on a semi-regular basis at the time. A shame they didn't take it... and then I had a hard drive crash which lost the article forever :(

A nice guy, though. Had a good laugh with him and he seemed happy enough, although yet to find his post-boxing niche. At least he was trying, though, unlike so many others. Would be interested to know what he's doing now.
Last time I saw him he thoroughly mastered sweating profusely in a suit. Can't remember if he was dabbing with a hanky or not...

Ha ha ha, I remember seeing him in a Sky studio and he was definitely mopping his brow with a hanky...

It was somewhere exotic, like the north West... :)

Sounds like my old flatmate from uni days. You could tell how long he'd been in the student bar by the number of beads of sweat on his forehead; roughly one per minute.
