I think he was a bit cautious of Browne in the first but he steadily closed the gap as the fight went on, when he went on that super aggressive rampage in the last I think he shook Browne up and Browne wasn't prepared for that. Browne is a bit green but the Russian opponent coming up next isn't, Mekhontsev isn't going to get shaken up by any aggressiveness so Hooper probably has to be busy from the very start in that contest. Should be a good one..
Great news..I missed it but I'm sure they will have a replay. Fair dinkun Hooper is going to earn this medal if he gets it. The Russian next, probably the Uzbek after that..then a good chance he will have to fight the Cuban in the semis.
