Cruiserweight contender Muhsin Cason (12-0, 9 KOs) continued his winning ways when he knocked out late replacement Lamont Capers (11-22-5, 2 KOs) in second round at the Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University in Philadelphia on Saturday night.
Cason dropped Capers once in the first round with an overhand right and finished the job with another beautiful overhand right in Round 2.
“This past Saturday, I landed two really hard overhand rights that landed perfectly,” said Cason, “First one knocked him down, second one finished the job. It was all over in the blink of an eye. I wish Capers well in his career, and I’m thankful that he stepped in the ring with me on late notice.”
Cason, the brother of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, looked fresh and ready to fight Capers after training for this fight during Ramadan. His goal going forward is to win a regional belt and then eventually a world title.
“The cruiserweight division is wide open, and I’m hoping by the end of the year I’ll be in a position to fight for a regional title,” Cason concluded. “Next year, I have a vision to be crowned world champion, God willing.”
This was a nice, stay-busy fight for Cason, and if he continues his winning ways, a championship fight could be in his future.
