Boxing fans can all agree that one thing that makes any bout better is if at least one of the fighters carries a bravado and swagger to them that automatically makes even the build-up to the fight that much better. That’s exactly the case in tomorrow’s welterweight fight between Maurice Hooker and Blair Cobbs, two fighters who are desperate for a win and whose personalities carry enough weight upon themselves to make their fight a must-watch event.
On the one side, you have Blair “The Flair” Cobbs, a man who simply does not know when to stop talking, for good or bad. On the other side, there’s Maurice Hooker, a quiet, working-man-style fighter, who will be looking to score an important win in front of his hometown fans in Fort Worth, Texas. With Hooker, a former WBO light welterweight champion coming is a slight favorite, could he revitalize his career, all while shutting Cobbs up, or will Blair “The Flair” be too much to handle and shush?
Fight Preview
If there is one person that is not buying even a second into the Blair “The Flair” Cobbs hype, a hype the fighter himself continues to create everywhere he goes, it’s Maurice “Mo” Hooker. The former champion is not fazed whatsoever by Cobbs’ antics and loud mouth and will be trusting that his solid, no-nonsense style of fighting will be enough to turn off “The Flair”.
You have to respect a champion’s prerogative, even if Hooker hasn’t held a belt in quite some time and is not necessarily most comfortable fighting as a welterweight, especially when his best fights have come while fighting in the light welterweight division. Still, the man is more than ready to score a win that could help revamp his career and maybe even lead to headlining bigger fight cards and a chance for a belt soon.
With Blair Cobbs, there are two ways to go about him. You can either buy into his persona and antics, or you can call BS and see him for what he is, a good fighter with a charming personality but that doesn’t necessarily have the best in-ring fighting style to outlast tough opponents. Blair has continuously run his mouth, hyping this fight as the best in Saturday’s upcoming card and promising a showstopper against Hooker, but will he be able to deliver?
Cobbs will need to buckle down in the ring and from the get-go decide whether he will be fighting man to man, front to front, or using his speed around the ring to counter Hooker’s power punching. Anyway you see it, Hooker seems like the better fighter in this bout and with his hometown fans backing him up, it shouldn’t be much of an issue for him to score a career-lifting win.
