Skelton - Rogan: Fight Exceeds Expectation

The eighth round was brilliant, fair play to Skelton for surviving it. I think we may see a re match.

 

I'm racking my brains D-Mac, i honestly can't. There must have been but right now i can't think of a heavyweight comparison. I am still on a high and having binge drinked during the fight am a bit pissed. I missed the first couple of rounds as i wasn't that bothered so went to get some booze in.


I am pretty sure Rogan can't be knocked out, he is Bartley Gorman finally making the pro's listen. :happy

 

Great way of describing it.

 

I thought this fight might not be the stinker that some people expected, but I didn't think it would be as good as it turned out.

 

As the experts say styles makes fights and it certainly did tonight. Two guys not prepared to take a step back and it proved a good spectacle. Going back to Dmacs original post i cant think of a fight that has exceeded expectations so much before. Certainly not recently.

 

i was at the N.I.A for this. was a great fight!

 

What an excellent slugfest. Maybe compare to Morrison-Ruddock but with better chins and less skills.

Who'd have thought ANYONE would be able to bully Skelton. That was a proper fight. Rogan is a real throwback, so tough and so damn ugly!
Who can he fight next?

 

Great fight delighted for Rogan

 

I am going to make a bold statement:

Best british heavyweight fight of this decade so far.

(Although Rogan is Irish, I count him as british, because best UK fight of the year doesn't sound as good)

 

Northern Irish - British

let's not get politics in the way of a cracking fight!

 

Does this mean that Rogan loses the "taxi-driver" moniker? The guy is clearly a fighter. I was shocked to see the headline that he won. Gotta give him credit as Skelton is a tough customer.

 

Great weekend for fight fans, Rogan is an unmovable brick wall, what heart the man has, i am so pleased for him and his family, John Breen and Eamon McGee in the corner were cracking me up as well they really get the best out of Rogie.

 

Congrats to Rogan, he deserves it, and now the title scene becomes much more exciting.

The European belt was at stake in this? I hope it was. Can't see Dimitrenko interested in Skelton after this loss.
