Comments Thread For: Hooker Praises Ref: Two Fighters Died, I Didn't Want To Be Third

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Mo came to Jose’s locker room to say cong**** and give his respect. Mo said the ref did the right thing. Said “two fighters died this week and I didn’t want to be the third...the ref did the right thing because I was hurt.” Wow 🙏🏼 @trboxing

Wtf...well yes Mo was out why wouldnt the ref step in.

It looked like the lightweight version of Tommy Morrison getting wrecked by Ray Mercer.

Confused about why he has to protect the ref??

I dont think he was really protecting the ref but rather just talking

That's very gracious of Hooker. He is a good man and a very good sport. Personally, I would like to see him move up to the 147 lbs division.

I think he would get crushed at 147
Mighty Mo seems like a good all around guy
But no 147

The way his head snapped back reminded me of the Adonis KO that put him in coma.

Yes, indeed; He is an all around classy dude. I say, if he can still make 140 comfortably then fine. However, if he is having trouble making weight then 147 might be the perfect fit for him but no one knows their body better than the 'Mighty Mo'. So ultimately it's his call.

He is a good dude, that's why I'm a fan despite the fact that he blows hot and cold as a boxer. I never thought he was the best in the division, but I like that he's a good guy and is willing to travel to his opponents back yard (I started really following after he came to Manchester and beat Flanagan).

And yeah. a move to 147 wouldn't work out well for Mo I think...

Part of the vision shared by Maurice Hooker, Roc Nation Sports and Matchroom Boxing USA was to stage a massive homecoming fight in the greater Dallas area. That wish was granted, in the form of a 140-pound title unification bout with California's Jose Carlos Ramirez. It also resulted in his first career loss, as Hooker was stopped in the 6th round of a Fight of the Year contender Saturday evening at College Park Center in Arlington, Tx., mere miles from Hooker's Dallas hometown.

I'm glad Hooker is alright. It was a great fight, he didn't give it up easy. Beautiful sportsmanship all around.
