       Left Hook Jr.'s original look was much like the real BattleBot
       Brutus
  HTML https://battlebots.fandom.com/wiki/Brutus,
       shown here.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Unnamed
       Left Hook Jr. took Unnamed's hits and knocked it to the rug.
       Unnamed got back in, but then the same thing happened. Unnamed
       was counted out and Left Hook Jr. won by KO. This win put Left
       Hook Jr. in the finals, where is faced the 3-time champion
       GyroWave
  HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/gyrowave/.
       Left Hook Jr. vs GyroWave
       The first hit broke off GyroWave's blades, but Left Hook Jr.
       took damage as well with a chunk taken off the front. GyroWave
       continued to keep the advantage, ramming pieces of Left Hook
       Jr.'s armor off. Suddenly Left Hook Jr. knocked GyroWave to the
       rug. Dutch paused the fight and asked David, Deacon and
       Nathaniel if that counted as a knockout if he couldn't get off.
       They said yes, and David began the countdown as Dutch
       frantically tried to get GyroWave off the rug by turning the
       spinner system. However, he ended up getting it high-centered,
       and was counted out. Left Hook Jr. won by KO. However, Dutch
       requested a rematch in a different fighting area.
       Left Hook Jr. vs GyroWave
       This time Left Hook Jr. was smashed, though its spinner
       amusingly keep spinning on the floor. GyroWave won by KO and
       Left Hook Jr. had to share its first title.

       Ethan redesigned Left Hook Jr. as a lower wedgebot with a
       gear-powered spinner.
       Left Hook Jr. vs MilliByte
       Left Hook Jr. won by KO easily and advanced to the next round.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Executioner
       Left Hook Jr. won.
       Left Hook Jr. vs GyroWave
       The first few hits did little, as the bots could barely
       strike each other with their primary weapons. Then Dutch decided
       to lift up the front of his bot as he pushed it in an attempt to
       ram Left Hook Jr.'s spinner. The next hit launched GyroWave into
       the air, and as it landed on Left Hook Jr. its blades broke off.
       The GyroWave was able to take off one of Left Hook's wheels. The
       fight was paused as the referee (David) examined the bot to see
       if its wheels were touching the ground. Finally it was decided
       that Left Hook was still in the fight. After a few more hits,
       Ethan tapped out as the baseplate of his bot was cracking.
       GyroWave won by KO again.

       Left Hook Jr. vs MilliByte
       Left Hook Jr. again won by KO easily and advanced to the next
       round, where it faced Ethan's new bot, Stab
  HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/stab/.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Stab
       David drove Left Hook Jr. this time. David drove well,
       recovering from getting high-centered and driving on three
       wheels, winning by KO and taking the title.
       [center]All-Team Tournament 2.0[/center]
       Left Hook Jr. vs Carnage
       Carnage was utterly destroyed in the first hit. Left Hook Jr.
       won by KO and advanced to the next round.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Son of Razor
       Left Hook Jr. won by KO again and advanced to the finals, where
       it faced GyroWave again.
       Left Hook Jr. vs GyroWave
       The fight began well for Left Hook Jr. as GyroWave lost both
       ends of its bar in the first hit, but damaged Left Hook Jr.'s
       wedge. The fight continued with no damage until Left Hook Jr.
       lost a wheel. The fight went the distance and the judges awarded
       Left Hook Jr. the victory and the championship in a 2-1 split
       decision. This decision was mildly controversial, with Dutch
       arguing that GyroWave deserved the win, but it did not lead to
       an bad blood.
       [center]Patterson-Seibert Tournament 10.0[/center]
       Left Hook Jr. vs Tearnado
       The first hit sent Tearnado
  HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/tearnado/<br
       />across the BattleBox
  HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/patterson-battlebox/<br
       />and knocked Left Hook Jr. back as well. Tearnado spun up again
       ,
       but one of its teeth came off, making it unbalanced, and David
       began the countdown. Dutch spun Tearnado into the wall again and
       again in an attempt to make its balanced, but he only succeeded
       in destroying it. Left Hook Jr. won by KO in one hit and
       advanced to fight Ethan's other bot Phoenix.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Phoenix
       Dutch drove Phoenix
  HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/phoenix/<br
       />this time. Phoenix was knocked out of the arena and counted ou
       t.
       However, since Phoenix won the loser's bracket, Left Hook Jr.
       was forced to fight it again.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Phoenix
       Left Hook Jr. won by KO and won the title.
       [center]Patterson-Seibert Tournament 11.0[/center]
       In response to a change in the rules limiting wedge length,
       Ethan rebuilt LHJ again, going back to the original "weapon
       towers" design.
       Left Hook Jr. vs I
       Left Hook Jr. had control from the start, but I was able to take
       some pieces off. Then I jumped over LHJ, and stuck the landing
       somehow. Finally, though, LHJ flipped I, which was counted out.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Phoenix
       Left Hook Jr. won again.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Phoenix
       Phoenix forfeited, as Ethan didn't want the same fight again.
       LHJ thus won the title again.
       [center]Patterson-Seibert Tournament 12.0[/center]
       Left Hook Jr. vs Phoenix
       LHJ won again and advanced to the next round to fight Dutch's
       new bot Hello.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Hello
       Left Hook Jr. was forced to forfeit, as it was found to weigh
       over 500 grams, far over the weight limit.
       [center]Patterson-Seibert Tournament 13.0[/center]
       Left Hook Jr. vs Beetle
       Left Hook Jr. was seeded against whoever won the fight between
       Built to Hurt Verts
  HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/built-to-hurt-verts/msg242/#msg242<br
       />and Beetle. Beetle won that fight and thus fought LHJ.
       LHJ did very poorly at first, with its weapon towers
       breaking and its frame bending. Finally Ethan dodged Beetle's
       charge and won by OOTA when Beetle drove out. Next up was
       another rematch with fellow veteran Son of Razor.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Son of Razor
       LHJ's weapon was disabled quite quickly by SOR, but then it
       rammed the smaller bot out of the arena. David drove back in on
       the one-count and the fight resumed. Finally it went to JD and
       SOR won in a huge upset. LHJ joined the losers' bracket for the
       first time ever.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Squash
       Dutch drove LHJ. After a few good collisions, LHJ ended up stuck
       on its back. Dutch tried to self-right by firing the weapon, but
       the gears had slipped. LHJ was counted out, and, shockingly,
       eliminated.
       [center]Patterson-Seibert test matches[/center]
       Circle of Death vs Left Hook Jr.
       The builders had wanted this fight for quite a while. LHJ won
       the first two fights when CoD flipped due to the power of its
       weapon, but lost the third.
       [center]All-Team Tournament 5.0[/center]

       LHJ was too heavy (550 grams) but was allowed in anyway and
       received a bye.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Chopper
       LHJ won by KO and went on to the next round.
       Left Hook Jr. vs Haymaker

  HTML https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlebots/images/0/08/End_Game_Gigabyte_WCVII_1.gif/revision/latest?cb=20230416200251
       The first hit was strange—LHJ took a hit to the wedge, and then
       an instant later knocked Chopper flying almost OOTA with its
       spinner. Chopper spun back in and was then OOTA'd again. It got
       back one more time before being OOTA'd again and breaking apart.
       Chopper was counted out and LHJ won the title for the last time.
