Rogan made the mistake of trying to outbox Sexton in the first fight. He isnt a talented boxer, but he is a talented slugger. When he put caution to the wind and went after Sexton, Sexton couldnt cope at all. I cant see Rogie messing around in this one.
If he loses its all over. But this rematch had to happen. He'll get his commonwealth belt back, prove his doubters wrong (of which there are many here in N.Ireland) and should hopefully be in line for a euro title fight if he wins. A belt he should have won of Skelton except Skelton decided to throw his toys out of his pram and not put it on line.
I know of a few people who thought him losing to Sexton was a blessing as it would save him taking a bad beating of a better euro level HW like the guy Chambers embarressed (Dimitrenko)
It reminds me of the Northern Ireland football team in a way: very dangerous underdog, but slips up when favourite to win. I never thought Rogan would go all the way [even with the best will in the world you couldn't come to that conclusion], but I did think he was past this stage.
Yeah true and I think that applies to all Ireland in all sports. As-long as we're kept in underdog status we will surprise you, but go so far as expect us to win? Well ****. lol. Very rarely do we perform. But we've had our moments...
Yeah we definitely needed to see a rematch. The first was surreal at times. Hopefully they have shot the ref from the first fight. No mercy this time Rogan!
