    The sorry excuse for punches that Valuev threw. They may be few and far between, and they may have the power of a kitten behind them, but they were punches. Any fighter that can fight on the outside can beat Valuev. But both Rogan and Skelton would rather bury their faces in Valuev's rug. They won't win that way.
     
  2. Are you ****ing insane? How am I overrating our fighters?

    Valuev is ****. Either Klit would ****ing smash Rogie or Skelton, I'm not looking through rose-tinted spectacles here.

    He is ****, for a supposed world-level fighter. But Rogan nor Skelton are up to that level either. I'm not saying Valuev crushes either fighter, but I don't see either fighter getting a decision against Valuev.

    based on rogan doing exactly what holyfield did, but with a higher workrate...if holyfield only just lost...i see rogan winning.

    I knew Skelto was gonna go Skitzo.

    At the end of onefo the rounds, Skelto shouted in Rogan's face....

    Rogan shouted back..!

    I thought to myself, this "Logan" is one bad ass.

    best heavyweight fight I've seen in years, and one of the best fights of any weight division in a while!!
    Not high on technique, but so much heart, drive, determination, stamina and a will to win!! Not forgetting that granite chin, he got clipped so many times by a boxer with an impressive KO ratio and just didnt look fazed...I could honestly see him giving any top heavyweight a run for their money..

    Rogan = Legend

    Wish I had seen this fight,sounds like a real knock em down drag em out affair.However neither would be Valuev.I watched the Vauev/Holyfield fight and had Valuev winning quite clearly,Holyfield dident really do anything apart from circle round Valuev all night.He landed the nicer shots but Valuev kept his straight left in his face for long periods of the fight.It was not even close to being a robbery,thats just another myth.I thought Valuev looked bored and like he had no interest inthe fight at all.,He just went through the motions but it was than enough for this old version of Holy.

    Good fight. Two old school tough Brits battling out. Mayweather has more talent in one arm then they do in their whole body but they were tough customers and that is the sort of boxing that makes good tv. We have a good British heavyweight scene, they just need to fight. Skelton, Williams, Sprott, Harrison, Rogan etc etc etc Alot of these bouts are boring but they've produced some good performances/entertaining fights like Harrison v Williams 2, Harrison v Sprott, Skelton v Rogan etc

    These two mad ****ers were the key to Rogans success in the last couple of rounds...they drove him on, and made him believe. Cracking fight, and well done Rogan, you mad, beautiful Irish ****er :deal

    They can't.

    Skelton lost and he has been stripped of the European belt. It is now officially vacant.

    I love the way Rogan was Irish before the fight and now that he has won all of a sudden he is British! The man is Irish and I know that means jack **** to a lot of people on here but just out of respect stop refering to him as British!
