    I agree, both have been out of the ring for over a year and need a fight like this to prove to everyone that they are really worth a shot at a bigger fight.

    They really need a good undercard though

    I dont know what either gains from this both past their best they have already fought with a fairly conclusive ending what does Rogan gain? Its going to be an ugly fight.

    Strange fight the first one was a good watch. Both had a good work rate for Heavyweights then but both have slipped in that department now can see this being a stinker

    Glad he isn't fighting Fury to be honest, was ****ing pointless fight anyway. Rogan's the wrong side of 40 and he's no George Foreman.

    Could this not potentially be on the undercard of Tyson Fury, Channel 5 may show both fights building towards a big Fury/Rogan showdown.

    Sounds like the most boring fight ever. Let's be honest with ourselves here - a 40 year old taxi driver against a 44 year old kickboxer, whose last battle was against a speeding ticket. A lot of people slag off certain fights, but this is the dirt worst - what is this for? Who benefits out of this? Both should retire and move on with their lives.

    The fight should be fun while it lasts.

    There are worse fights out there, and I guess this is a pick 'em, faded though they both are? It helps clean up a detail of the UK scene, and presumably would virtually retire the loser? And might have some action - I doubt either will fancy their chances of doing twelve rounds at any sort of pace, so they might both come out swinging.
