Ill tune in just to see Rogan fight.

Hmm, at one time I thought Pulev would rival Helenius in the "top HW prospects willing to take on all comers" category, but lately he's been disapointing with his choice of opponents. Rogan's an exciting guy, gutsy as hell, but he should be a fairly easy opponent for the much larger Pulev. I'll be interested to see how Pulev performs though, as well as his fighting weight. It'll give a pretty good idea about his future in the division.

yeah, I noticed Pulev gains a few pounds every fight? WTF

There is no rivaly between Helenius and Pulev as both are promoted by Sauerland Event.
Both took different ways.

Sauerland hopes to get the WBA strap for Povetkin.
Helenius is ranked very high in the IBF and WBO rankings while Pulev recently made WBO#12 and WBA#15 far behind Helenius.

totally agree! rogan is fun to watch,a class act & tough as nails but pulev is at another level IMO & should have no problem with rogan...i am interested to see if pulev can take a punch & what his stamina is like...he seems to always be in 8 rounders but this will be fought over 12.

Rogan was mandatory to fight Helenius but then he vacated, so he's fighting Pulev instead, Pulev didnt exactly chose him.

Although, as they have the same promoter this might have all been planned out.

Have seen very little of Pulev so Ive no idea how it'll play out, but Ill be cheering on Rogie
