In the welter-weight boxing championship of Britain, carrying the Lonsdale Belt, Hood outpointed Mason. Aided by an advantage in height and reach Hood was generally better at long reach work. Mason was quick and elusive and frequently held in clinches, but he was well behind in points to the tenth round.
