    I think this would really be a fun fight to watch. Both were in good fighting condition during the time frames mentioned and both motivated. I like Dokes to take a hard fought win. Maybe a late round stoppage or a decision. But he’d have to work damn hard for it.

    Dokes late stoppage.
    Cooper was a late replacement and hadnt had a full training camp.
    Dokes is likely a class above him anyway

    Dokes by decision. Not more powerful, but he was faster and had better skills. He would hit Cooper more than Cooper hit him.

    Picking a Cooper fight is such a crapshoot. He may show up motivated or maybe not. Much less in shape. But he had good whiskers and a big punch.

    Would be similar FOY candidate like The Real Deal vs Dokes . However this time Dokes prevails on pts .
