Cook comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Lil Baby - Southside kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Bob Cook was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
