OXNARD, CA (July 28, 2022) – Prince Ranch Boxing’s welterweight,
Blair “The Flair” Cobbs (15-1-1, 10 KOs), will look to make a successful return after suffering his first career loss when he faces former world champion, Maurice "Mighty Mo" Hooker (27-2-3, 18 KOs), Saturday, August 6th on the undercard of Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Michael McKinson. Hooker vs. Cobbs, a 10-round bout, will take place at The Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, broadcasted worldwide on DAZN.
"I am going into this bout with my mind on coming out victorious by all means necessary,” said Cobbs. “I and understand that I need to make a statement in this fight to get back on track toward fighting for a world title. At this point in my career all fights are going to be tough, and I must step up my game. This is going to be a great show, and its time for me to show up and show out.”
For those unaware, Maurice Hooker held the WBO super lightweight title defeating Alex Saucedo in Saucedo's hometown to win the belt. He would be dethroned following that bout by unified world champion Jose Ramirez. Hooker has been viewed as a top-15 super lightweight for most of his career.
"This is a chance for Blair Cobbs to show the world where he is at," said Greg Hannley, CEO of Prince Ranch Boxing who manages Cobbs. "In facing a former world champion this will tell him a lot about himself and his future. The future is in Blair's hands and I have faith he will come out on top."
