It was Jaime Munguia, the WBO world junior middleweight champ and Cook’s opponent Saturday night, swaddled in layers of clothing even as the temperature hovered above 35C. Ajax junior middleweight Brandon Cook, centre, challenges undefeated WBO world champion Jaime Munguia of Mexico Saturday night in Las Vegas. That Golden Boy Promotions placed Munguia in the co-feature isn’t a coincidence, and they didn’t sign Cook thinking he’d triumph. “Cook is an action, in-your-face, rugged fighter.” Still, Golden Boy has hedged against a Cook upset. If the Ajax native wins, Golden Boy will promote his next three fights.
