The fight was better than advertised and the official verdict of the war could have gone to either competitor. However, Hooker landed the more telling blows, scored a timely takedown late and won on two of the three judges’ cards. The City Kickboxing standout delighted his hometown fans inside the packed Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand, something he said helped him get the win.
“I’ll defend this land, no matter what the cost,” Hooker said. “It was an honor [to fight Paul Felder]. He’s a tough son of a gun. I enjoyed myself.”
Hooker was unavailable after the fight regarding the post-event press conference as both he and Felder were transported to a nearby hospital for precautionary measures. However, before he departed the arena, “The Hangman” made it abundantly clear as to whom he wants to next lock horns with.
“I want Justin Gaethje next,” he proclaimed. “Let’s go.”
