“It is a great opportunity and one I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Blair Cobbs, der ledes af Greg Hannley af Prince Ranch Boxing. “I have worked very hard and I feel that fighting on a Canelo card, and for the NABF title, is the perfect chance for me to elevate my game, as well as put on a show for my fans.”
Cobbs, who is also advised by Shahid Malik, made noise earlier this year by defeating
Ferdinand “Lucky Boy” Kerobyan (12-1, 7 KOS), in Kerobyan’s hometown of Hollywood, California, and in his last bout stopped Steve “Manos de Oro” Villalobos (11-1, 1, 9 KOS) by way of a ninth-round knockout. Blair’s last three opponents had a combined record of (29-1-1, 22 KOS) making Cobbs one of the most battle-tested contenders in the welterweight division.
“We’re very excited with the way that Blair Cobbs has performed as a professional,” stated Greg Hannely, Cobbs manager. “He has defeated great opponents and is rising to the occasion each and every time he steps up in competition. A win in this bout will catapult him to a top-15 ranking. Desuden, the exposure he will get fighting on this card will be unbelievable. Blair is a fan favorite, and everyone wants to see him fight.”
“I just want to put on a show and have fun like I always do,” Cobbs continued. “I am excited to show off my talent to a bigger audience. Blair “Flairen” is coming…Whooo!”
