Rogan should have taken breaks when he was tired. Even when he was too tired to even tie up, he was still walking forward and Sexton was picking him off with his straight 1-2s
I dont understand why this fight was stopped when it was about 4-3 to sexton and close enough, they both hurt eachother, Rogan had been hurt alot more in the last fight what on earth happened tonight?
I like Sexton. He had a plan and it worked. He has real problems with stamina and his punch resistance but he is a nice domestic heavyweight boxer who has good basic skills mixed with a half decent boxing brain. He will beat Danny Williams imo..as long as he don't get caught which could well happen.
In hindsight, may that have just been to lull Sam into a false sense of security in expecting a slower pace? :think
Rogan used up too much energy in the first few rounds, he was taking the fight too personal, Sexton used his brain and boxed well under great pressure.
My picture wasn't great but from what I saw Rogan could barely make it back to the corner, stumbled along the ropes and he looked like he'd downed 15 pints at the end of that last round. I agree that he seems to have taken more punishment in the past, but he looked pretty done to me.
But he was out on his feet in the last fight, he literally wobbled onto the ropes at the end of the 6th i believe it was last time, not to mention a closed up eye. He could have gone on if he really wanted to
Great run of Friday fight nights and a few big bills to come in the next few weeks! Definitley starting to make up for the **** start to/middle of the year for lack of/cancelled/**** bouts. :happy
There have been some belters in this season of Friday Night Fights. Simpson/Truscott 2, Moore/Rhodes, Sexton/Rogan 2. What else is coming up?
Rogan looked ****ed at the end of the last round and was wobbling all over the shop. I have my doubts as to how genuine the arm/neck impairment was/is! On thing is for sure - he should never have left Breen and Magee.
