Coop is the boy who agrees to fight Pancho during the first sparring match. They bet $20 each, even though gambling is against house rules. During the fight, it's clear that the crowd has influenced Coop and that he doesn't have the finesse and training of a proper fighter. Although he gets in a few good punches, Pancho knocks him out cold with two shots.
