Damien Hooper...Hot Olympic Prospect

Just want to hear his story Sal.

Another life turnaround story through the power of boxing.

 

I think Ward embarrassed the Cuban 'knockout specialist' in his semi-final..

Anyway, good luck to both of them. Is Damien indigenous? Ward is a traveller so it's an interesting clash in that respect. Hopefully both can have fulfilling careers.

 

C'mon now boxoncotton on...... a bet's a bet let me hear the proposal

 

Done, I was going to give you something a whole lot worse than our heavenly tricolour.... an nsw flag (insert rival state if necessary)

 

yeah he is, indigenous that is. but not full blooded. he's a monster middleweight. 6'2 with arms that nearly reach his knees. my mate that works with the oz team says that he can weigh mid80's one day and hit 75kg the next, likes its nothing

 

I think you'll find that attributed to our very own pop svengali Ronan Keating :thumbsup

Hopefully the lads are kept apart until the final, is this tournie getting much publicity in Oz because it's getting sweet FA over here.

 

Don't know what time, will be investigating this further, although prepare yourself....

Your boy is going home early - they meet tomorrow in the last 8. Shame they haven't been kept apart but Ward's just getting the best away early :rasta

Yeah, been paying his dues big time. Hope he gets what he deserves and, if not now, sure to come his way in the future.
