Hooker was "discovered" while getting kind of roughed up in sparring with Saucedo in Texas. The money guy behind Alex at the time liked him, however, then subsequently had a falling out with my friend that managed Saucedo. The money guy then became the manager of Hooker and got him to a world ranking before they parted ways.
