Sexton was very impressive: can he go far?

    If he fights Pianeta, then theoretically he is at European level.

    Him and Chisora had good scrap and as fight wore on Chisora's pressure got to him and he gassed badly and fell apart. He has improved a lot since then compared to Chisora but as said he has soft chin and still has the same stamina problems. It would be great fight for sure.

    I guess so. Then again he's probably already well ranked by European and world bodies (WBO), is he at world class? :D

    I think they'll prove to be quite a few better fighters at European level. I don't think he's the best in Britain, I think Chisora, Audley and Sosnowski beat him. Pianeta, Manuel Charr, Dimitrenko, Virchis and Ustinov are probably all milling around the Euro scene too.

    I'd have Price over Sexton.

    I just think because he got a win over an overrated pub brawler, people expect him to go far. But even when he's supposedly improved, he still has that major flaw.

    The good thing about Sexton is that he picks his shots well and commits to an attack 100%, he doesn't dither about. He wasted very little effort tonight

    What does that mean anyway?

    Are you agreeing or telling me to read something?

    Sexton wasn't impressive. Rogan's **** tactics just made him look good.

    Rogan is a quitter but Sexton did look impressive.

    Didnt you hear, he wants the winner of Haye / Valuev next! I dont even think Fury would make a statement that stupid.

    I'd like to see him rematch Chisora (difficult one to call as i dislike them both, maybe a double KO) then face winner of Fury / McDermott.

    Fair enough Rogan doesn't have much of a defence, but he's beaten Audley and Skelton, so he's no mug, but yeah, the chin could be a problem for Sexton in the future.

    If he becomes British Champ that's a helluva achievement for anyone. He's still young and he's only going to improve.
