Canadian Brandon Cook absorbs a right hook from champ Jaime Munguia in Saturday night’s WBO junior middleweight title bout in Las Vegas. Golden Boy certainly didn’t pay Cook as though they expected him to win. Even Golden Boy insured itself against a long-shot Cook win by taking options on his next three fights. By Saturday night, Cook had gained 10 pounds, but the six-foot-tall Munguia had added more than 20, and quickly imposed his size advantage. Cook fought hard but fell short, game but outgunned against an opponent who looked like the future superstar of the Golden Boy stable.
