    Anything could happen in this type of match. I will say however that you pretty much HAD to be an elite fighter to beat Tony Bellew.

    Hi Guys.
    If the eyes hold up, I will go with Cooper, but a expect stern resistance from Bellew, Henry might call on his boxing skills in the early rounds, then step up a gear, and go for the stoppage later in the fight.
    stay safe guys, chat soon.

    Cooper needed the fix to beat Folley and was creased in two rounds by him in the rematch.
    Bomber was bigger than Folley and his ring IQ was genius level. His superb footwork makes Cooper punch out of range
