Dallas Texas' Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (23-0-3, 16KO’s) puts in work in front of England onlookers in preparation of his showdown against England's Terry 'Turbo" Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO's) for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight title.
According to Vincent Parra, "Mighty Mo's trainer, “Maurice has to be active, we have to fight our fight, make Flanagan uncomfortable. We’ve seen some things we’re working on,” “It’s a search and destroy mission. If he comes to box he’s a dead man against an 81-inch reach, and if he comes to Maurice, we’re prepared for everything.
"Mighty Mo" plans on putting on a show at the Manchester Arena in England against the southpaw Flanagan and has been quoted as saying "I’m gonna wake him up.” “He’s weak and he’s soft. He hasn’t fought anybody. He fights little guys. I hit hard with both hands. He’s never fought anyone with skills like me. He runs a lot. Power? He hasn’t got any power.
