[Boxing- USA] 6.8/ 23:00 M.Hooker- B.Cobbs
Blair Cobbs understood a change of scenery was needed to move forward with his career, especially after suffering his first loss as a pro.
Cobbs hopes to one day contend at 147 pounds because of these necessary changes, but he still feeds off of his ‘Blair the Flair’ persona.
The colorful fighter will face a stiff challenge in former WBO world junior welterweight titleholder Maurice Hooker Saturday night at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. The 10-round bout will precede the main event bout between welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz, Jr. and Michael McKinson.
Cobbs (15-1-1, 10 knockouts), who is originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, was knocked out by Alexis Rocha in the ninth round of his last bout on March 19. Cobbs was coming off of a knockout win over former contender Brad Solomon on June 19 of last year.
The southpaw Cobbs will face a stiff challenge in Hooker, who lost the WBO world title to Jose Ramirez in July 2019 and was knocked out by Ortiz on March 20 of last year. Cobbs, who will face Hooker at a catchweight of 150 pounds Saturday night, expects a difficult fight in what he believes is a more-competitive fight than the main event.
Cobbs, who is promoted by Golden Boy, took a few weeks away from boxing after the loss to Rocha. He had to reassess his career and who he believed was best to guide him toward contender status.
