Hooper was touted as one of Oz's top prospects not that long ago but there have been issues out of the ring and of course this moment held him back badly.

Robbie did retire, sounds like he'd lost the enjoyment and took a few paydays overseas to finish off but then found love for boxing again.
I remember someone on here posted about nobody talking about his comeback but the kid he fought looked about 12 and looked like he should have been fighting at 140.
Reece Papuni has a tune up in Nelson next month against a kickboxer on debut so won't be a lot of talk about that either but after taking the Blake Caparello fight on short notice and a three year lay off I would expect with him and Robbie both back at LH that fight could finally happen if there is a suitable card where the money is there. They have previously fought out a three round then and extension round in a four-man.
There was talk of a rematch over 10 rounds on a Duco card but it fell through.
Not the two UFC men on the card and one of them arguably beat Papuni in a very close three round semifinal
