    ive made this comment to dunky about scotland,.me im english,a englishman,not british,and whats wrong with that,but i will support anyone i like,
    i wanted rogan to beat the **** outa skelton,not kean on him,not much
    boxing skill,heart,defo,not much skill.
    **** ME,that rogan,i was well impressed,good skill,loved the way he fights,head moving(a bit)brawling,hooking,my kind of fighter,not ****ing running away,witter style,and tough as teak,best heavy weight fight ive seen in a while.
    anyway i hope some of you irish don't mind,but i like the big irish fellow,and will be following his progress:good

    No one minds you guys supporting him, just don't refer to him as British, I know you didn't but some on here have, that's all.

    Where can I get a video of this fight?

    I haven't had the opportunity to see Rogan fight yet.

    Can we expect a rematch, for the European belt this time?

    Looks like Warren and Skelton kept it in the pocket in case of an upset.

    I think this win will put Rogan somewhere in the ABCs ranking, maybe top 10.

    He deserves it right? beating Audley and Skelton is much more than many of the ranked fighters ever did.

    Could well be with Frank Warren guiding him, he may even be higher.:lol:
    We'll have to wait until they publish their new Rankings but it wouldn't surprise me to see him on there.
