Blair “The Flair” Cobbs gives Jaron “Bootes” Ennis The Duck

As he continues to watch the scene and hide in the background, Blair “The Flair” Cobbs has once again issued a public challenge and placed the “Duck” tag on undefeated IBF World Welterweight Champion Jaron ” Boots” Ennis.

Cobbs is a welterweight contender who is known more for his quirky personality than his accomplishments inside the squared circle. However, Cobbs is a seasoned veteran looking for an opportunity to take part in a fight that could redefine his boxing career.

A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Blair “The Flair” Cobbs began his boxing journey with a 15-fight winning streak. In March 2022, Cobbs lost his unblemished record when he was stopped by Alexis Rocha in the ninth round.

Five months later, Cobbs would bounce back in a big way when he faced former WBO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice Hooker. In the opening round, Cobbs landed a big right overhand followed by a flurry of shots that sent Hooker to the canvas.

Hooker was able to get to his feet, but Cobbs scored two additional takedowns in the second round. Cobbs was in complete control of the match from start to finish as he earned a unanimous decision win by scores of 97-90, 97-90 and 96-91.

After Blair Cobbs put on a very impressive performance, Golden Boy Promotions dropped the ball as they forgot to keep Cobbs active. Blair “The Flair” broke away from Golden Boy and fought a former four division champion.

In the build-up to his fight against Adrien “The Problem” Broner, Blair Cobbs was comical, confident, intense and focused. At the end of the final Broner vs Cobbs press conference, Blair Cobbs shouted, “This is my time! This is my time! Woo!”

On fight night, Cobbs made an immediate statement when he hit Broner with a straight left hand shot that knocked out his tooth and sent the former four-division champion to the canvas. Broner was able to get to his feet, but Cobbs dominated the rest of the fight as he earned a unanimous decision victory.

Since his win over Broner, Blair “The Flair” Cobbs (17-1-1, 10 KOs) has put a fellow Philadelphian on his radar. After witnessing Jaron “Boots” Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) defeat Karen Chukhadzhian at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Cobbs took to the post-fight press conference and said why Ennis I should fight him next.

“We know the two options you want to choose, but there’s still a third option,” Cobbs said. “This 3rd choice is the most exciting man in boxing, Blair “The Flair” fighting Jaron “Boots” Ennis in a big hit in Philadelphia, PA, woo!”

Promoter Eddie Hearn quickly chimed in while discussing Ennis’ plan to unify at 147 or fight a big name at 154. As time went on, the opportunity to unify never materialized, and Ennis recently turned down an opportunity to face Vergil Ortiz at 154.

Because of the way things have played out for Jaron Ennis, his hometown rival is back on the scene, pushing for a chance to fight for the IBF welterweight title. During an interview with Fight Hub TV, Blair “The Flair” pleaded his case.

“You say, I want to go up to 154, and then someone calls you out to 154, and then you quickly change your mind to say I want to stay at 147, and you can’t unify those titles because everybody has a fight.”

Blair Cobbs went on to say, “Why don’t we do Blair ‘The Flair’ fight, where we can have a big attraction, a big thrill in the sport of boxing in the welterweight division with two fighters from Philadelphia? No I have no idea what they are doing other than helping.

Blair Cobbs, 34, thinks Jaron Ennis, 27, is a duck looking for the easy route to success. Jaron Ennis doesn’t have a fight scheduled right now, and until he finds an opponent, Blair Cobbs plans to constantly push and try to get that elusive title shot.
