Comments Thread For: Maurice Hooker Gets Off The Floor To Batter, Stop Alex Saucedo

It looked as if Saucedo had no gameplan other than to brawl....

He just couldn't get past Hookers reach advantage. Saucedo can still win a title if matched with a brawler with a shorter reach.

I doubt it. Saucedo has the head movement and defense of a statue buried neck deep in cement. He will be a heavy bag for the top fighters and there are too many at 140. He is a siting duck for target practice. And questionable stamina.

Btw, what a horrible horrible 2nd half of the year for Abel Sanchez.

Able trains robots. Strong, but stiff. How did a guy who got hit with everything slow Zapavinga threw at him become the favorite?

Yea it was pretty bad.

Hooker has grown into a solid fighter even tho Saucedo is a bit average he does have punching power!

Saucedo needs to work on head movement and getting stronger in the clinch and working in the clinch better cu if he did those things he’d probably beat Hooker cuz he kept getting hit with the same punch over and over!

Sanchez is horrible if you want to up your defense! He teaches offense orientation work and body shots and that’s it!

Make no mistake, Hooker is the worst champion at 140 and will get beat by Ramirez, Prograis, Taylor and Baranchyk.

I feel like Saucedo should've been able to beat him as well.

Tough break for Saucedo.... they set the dude up to succeed but he came up short. I like Saucedo, but the fight more or less went how I thought it would (Saucedo takes too many shots and gets stopped), which is why I watched it on my couch instead of at Chesapeake.

140 is loaded! You have the 4 champs and some exciting up and comers like Subriel Matias and Vergil Ortiz Jr.

Those guys and the champs make 140 seriously deep and the best division in boxing in my opinion.

Sanchez's mediocre trainer as a tactician and technician, he cant do much in the corner if his figher is losing, cant change the strategy between the rounds, was the same in Usyk-Gassiev, Taylor-Martin and now again, he may be good as a conditioning coach though
