His lead hook is nice. The way he steps outside as he throws it sometimes too, almost like a russian/cuban hook.
He also steps nicely at an angle and turns it into a short quick left cross somtimes.

But his right hand is IMO the worst part of his offensive striking, at least boxing.
He doesn't turn and use that reach of his to really sit down on it and blast that thing with his long ass arms. It's weird to me, makes no sense. His right cross is bad. And if he does throw it, it's straight to the body to set up his left hook again. Would really like to see Hooker throw that cross right to the head more often .

Yeah that's the only thing missing from his striking arsenal. With his reach advantage it'd be devastating.
