Floyd Schofield Sr
, the father and trainer of ‘Kid Austin’ would take to social media following Abdullah Mason’s title defense win over the weekend, crediting his opponent Albert Bell for his performance in the ring. Schofield would claim that the politics of boxing essentially screwed Bell over, but that he deserves his flowers for how he fought.“Congratulations, Albert Bell,” Schofield Sr would say. “I want to shout you out because no crap on you, knowing that you don’t got all that power with
only 9 KOs, knowing that you was out of the ring almost a year, the fact that you turned around and won that title — because you was winning that, no matter how much they was bullcrapping on the scorecards, no matter how rigged boxing is, you deserve your kudos because you performed good.
“We know they robbed you. We already know. Good job, young man. And for those comparing Abdullah to Kid, ya’ll better stop playing with us.”
Meanwhile, Kid Austin has been out of action since a first round stoppage over Tevin Farmer a full year ago. His next outing has yet to be officially scheduled.
