Comments Thread For: Hooker: I Was Shocked; Thought They Would Rob Me in England

[Smash]

hooker was like "wtf if this was reversed and we were in the states you DEFINITELY would have been robbed" and he was right

Robberies happen every and anywhere. We just need to hold Judges accountable and not give them work afterwards. We should start by getting the judges away from the side of the ring and place them where they can see the action more clearly. It has nothing to do with location. I'm a black guy from Chicago and I'll love to go to the UK for a fight. Just for the energy!!!!

Lets start with the guy Selby "beat" on a cut/scratch. Then Brook running from Carson Jones and getting the call, and those bantam keep away specialist, all they have to do is make it to the final bell. The Home town edge is big in the UK.

how long ago was brook v jones lol. and it wasnt a robbery

Massive reach on Brook. Brook didn’t lose that fight in a million years. He got his nose broken and blew up late.

McDonnell/Solis was a decent shout I suppose. But McDonnell is very active. Not a robbery, not in England, not a great fight.

UK is OK. Ref. deduct a point for a legal blow per replay against IBF 115 champ but it was a honest mistake. Australia has money to pay for a title in a hometown decision if you dare. Las Vegas will favor PPV boxers.

We also rob Africans & Asians too.

I tipped Turbo to beat Hooker but I hate to say it he was really pisspoor on the night except for the final round. Terry didn't even deserve a draw with that showing. And Hooker is no more than a B- fighter. Good but at least a couple of grades below elite.

Really dude? Here’s guy who has AT LEAST three gift decisions and now he’s worried HE might get robbed? Come on guy.

Hooker knows that he can fight as well as Flanagan did and win in US!

I have to disagree about ‘not hurting Hooker’. There was a stage where Flanagan had him hurt but it was the end of the round and then he got hit with headbutt karma
