Ummm. Well I liked Hooker a lot this last year, one of my faves right now, especially after going to his opponents' back yard twice in a row and coming away with the win, but this is a step in the wrong direction.

Mikkel isn’t even in the top 10

Matchroom USA just steady feeding their champs no hopers

Wonder if this opponent selection will get as much hate as other promoter/platforms receive when their Champs face no hopers

I’m guessing No

Nor the top 50 overall I think. Boxrec have Slick Mikk ranked #93. The WBO have slotted him in at #14 below the likes of Keles and Paro.
