    That boy lost 9 rounds to Darleys Perez and got a gift draw, the same Darleys Perez that was KO'd by Luke Campbell and Anthony Crolla. Linares beat Campbell and Crolla, Loma stopped Linares. I guess that means.

    Hooker looked really good tonight, much better than he did in his last one IMO. He showed impressive hand speed and accuracy with that right hand. Granted Saucedo has no defence but it was still impressive the way Hooker made him pay for it. Hooker looks very big for the weight and obviously that reach of his is freakish for a 140 pounder. He would've been a good addition for the WBSS LWW tournament.

    Sure I did, but you picked him on the RBR.:deal:That doesn't mean I rate him highly, I just rate Hooker lowly.

    I think Saucedo was just a free target.. he did look good though.

    I also said he would be down in rounds and come from behind to get the stoppagge as well. Saucedo isn't very good but hooker isn't all that bad neither

    Well, I did pick Hooker to beat Flanagan, he has a level, its beating guys like Turbo Terry and Saucedo, that's his ceiling.

    I don't think it's crazy to think he can somehow take over the division. With his height and reach its definitely possible especially now that the 140 division is wide open.

    I've only seen both of them once before, Hooker against Flanagan and Saucedo against Lenny Z and I wasn't particularly impressed with Hooker in that one. To be honest, I would've probably picked Saucedo to win tonight based of their respective performances against Lenny Z and Flanagan but Hooker definitely looked like he's improved since his last fight.

    Ramirez is a helluva lot better than Saucedo. That was apparent even before tonight.

    I hear you but quite frankly that don't faze me or have any bearing on what I witnessed tonight. Give the man his props. He did a good job.

    I didn't make a pick but I thought Saucedo would win too tbh. I've seen Hooker a couple times but this was by far his best performance. I also thought Saucedo got caught up with going to war with Lenny Z. I thought he was more talented, but it turns out his defense is just bad.

    Yeah, its a stretch, I have a hard time seeing him get past Taylor and Prograis, quite frankly I think Baranchyk and Yigit would give hi hell. But decent win tonight.
     
    Amazing one and Serge like this.

    Poor defence but Hooker zips that right hand in surprisingly quick and his arms are so long it catches you even when you think you're out of range.
