  4. Good fight,

    Thought Skelton was getting comfatable in the last few, to go on and win by a few rounds.... But Rogan pulled it out of the bag, he looked like he had nothing left.

    I think Matt could win a rematch though

    **** me that was a great scrap!
    Rogan is one of the Hardest men I've seen in a long time, I was jumping about my house when he stopped Skleton. Where did he get the strength, I thought he'd gassed out after throwing everything at Skelton and nearly stopping him.
    The Punches he was absorbing early were brutal and snapping back his head but he kept walking through him and got his just deserts with that stoppage.
    Fantastic victory for Rogan and a real fairytail story i am thrilled for him how far can this story go?

    Brilliant performance from Rogan. Would love to see him go for teh British belt now or the vacant European title.

    Skelton is a top bloke but at 500 years old he should retire. Rogan maybe the lifeline the British heavyweight scene needs.

    I see there are a lot more votes in for a Rogan KO since the fight ended.

    Sort yourselves out you gimps; the vote isn't even public:patsch

    I'm so glad to be proven wrong on this one. Rogan again proved that his will and determination can overcome his lack of skill. There is only one fight out there for Rogan now - and that is John McDermott.

    Bring it on!

    That was my thoughts exactly before the fight. I went to the pub for a take out and missed the first 3 rounds as i 'knew' it would be a bore-fest. **** me though, what an enjoyable fight and i was so happy for Rogan in the end. Completely deserved i thought. In the 9th and 10th? i think Skelton started doing what he should have done from the start, Rogan looked desperate. What a fantastic demolition at the end. Heavyweight division needs people like him even if he lacks technique. If you can't knock him out what does it matter? Sorry for rambling, i've had a few and it's been a top night of non ppv fighting imo:good

    On tonights showing Rogan would absolutely destroy Fatty McD, and take his rather substantial lunch money off of him

    He was promised a fight with Lamon Brewster at the Kings Hall, although i don't think Warren ever thought Rogan was actually going to beat Skelton, so he better start making some calls because Martin Rogan is one man i would not like to **** off.:D

    He probably has a suitcase full of green handcuffed to his wrist when he goes to school.
