Rogan is the champ in my eyes

Bizarre ending, that's for sure. Slightly strange that Parris couldn't just wait, just think to hiimself 'between rounds that gets checked'.

But once the doc says he can't see that is it.

But Rogan has only himself to blame, he knew he was vulnerable to the stoppage at any time, he got a free shot and turned it down.

 

Sorry Ron but the first part of that doesn't matter at all.

And the second part isn't right, he was doing a mummy impression and was totally out on his feet.

 

If you look Sexton wasn't saying his corner had stopped the fight, he was pointing to his gumshield on the floor. Sure it was a buying time tactic but its Rogans fault he didn't finish Sexton.

 

at the end of the day it was a great fight up until the bizarre ending , a rematch is a must hopefully for the vacant ebu belt , sexton is a good boxer not sure about his heart or chin

 

No i am not saying that Parris probably knew there wasnt long left but that is not his duty he should stop the fight when he feels he needs to no matter how long remains. For example Julio Cesar Chavez stopped Meldrick Taylor with 3 seconds to go IMO that is one of the best refereeing decisions ever. A refs priority is to protect a fighter not keep the time.

No Rogan was not i any trouble but his eye was terrible it wasnt a stoppage where Rogan was badly staggered it was because his eye was a mess and he couldnt see. And he was not about to win the fight he had missed taht boat already.

Either have i but it happened

 

well done marty you deserved the win champ
get sexton in a rematch quick

 

Agreed on the comparison to the Khan fight.

Also i was on the edge of my seat too great fight, bad reffing which changed the fight

 

Did anyone else notice Rogan's eye was marked up before he even got hit? Around his eye was bruised yellow.

A shame he didn't get the stoppage, other than quick hands sexton has absolutely nothing though imo and isn't going anywhere...

 

Yeah i noticed it too, i was surprised abit, i thought they would have stopped the hard work in time for him to heal.
He was sparring kevin johnson

 

Top post phonk :good

 

whats top about it? Both quotes are incorrect?

 

Gutted that Rogan didn't close the show. Immediate rematch needed so he can put the record straight.

 

Yes i agree he looked out of it,but Rogan still didn't move in so it's his own fault,and to be fair by the time he did Sexton still had enough of his marbles to throw a few at him.

 

Sexton turning his back, in the corner, like that when he was nearly out on his feet, and the ref jumping in and warning Rogan for hitting on the back of the head was a bit off...

Perhaps i'm wrong... I'm not too up on ref rules they seem to vary..

If your going down in the corner, is totally turning your back on your opponent, acceptable for the ref to jump in and give you a break?

 

Jon,

I see Sexton getting turned around/ spun by the punches, not really turning his back.

Just my 2p..........
