Kenna v Butlin could be the best fight of the night I reckon

they'll be getting the banjo's out in a minute.

decent fun so far.

that's what it was always intended to be.

a future heavyweight prospect is not gonna emerge here.

Rogan won with ease his semi, now its Dolan fight, he won first round

whicker · Post by **whicker** » 11 Apr 2008, 18:31

So the two unbeaten favourites meet in the final...

Well, sounds good, but 1 out of ten for unpredicatbility.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 11 Apr 2008, 18:35

Still would like to see Dolan vs Kenna in a proper fight.... 8 rounder.

That was fekking blinding.

I take it all back. A circus it may be, but christ, it's a bloody entertaining one.

My girlfriend was leaping around the room and I was doing that finger slapping thing like some Ali G impersonator.

Gwan that man, let's hear it from Rogan, he walked through fire to get that, how he stayed up I don't know, he just wanted it that bit more.

Dolan really doesn't have the pop to succeed at heavyweight, couldn't he make cruiserweight?

Erm, opps. Rather a delay in posting that.

ogii3 · Post by **ogii3** » 11 Apr 2008, 19:13

Great show, very entertaining:))))
Congratulations for the organizers. This is the way K-1 gets so much fans.
Rogan great warrior, Dolan i think is the better fighter, but has very weak chin, something around weltherweight one. He went down from not so strong punches. Dictated 2nd round and scored a lot in the third, but couldnt have turn the fight.
However those who missed entire show, must find the way to watch it. I didn;t expect it, that will be so much pleasure...

Yep, have to echo all those thoughts James. Judged in the context of what it is it turned out to be great entertainment and loved Rogan's sheer will to win - the shorter duration engineered a situation where all were forced to go hell for leather.
Would be quite happy to watch a Rogan v Dolan rematch over the longer distance though.

Well done to Rogan, very tough boxer, entertaining style, and good look to him in the future.

I was actually impressed with Dolan though, although he showed poor chin and defence, he showed some talent in there, if he could get down
to cruiserweight he could make something of himself, id also fancy
him to beat Rogan in a rematch.

But that being said, tonights show was very entertaining.

Burton, Milarvie, Chisora and Rogan, these four could make some entertaining fights for the future if they can get in there with one another.

whicker · Post by **whicker** » 11 Apr 2008, 19:21

So is this the future of boxing. Well, if nothing else, it was 8 COMPETATIVE bouts on a professional show- something very rare indeed nowadays.

leforge · Post by **leforge** » 11 Apr 2008, 19:28

Rogan was good tonight. But that was a very good night for boxing, imo betterr boxer will be up for next tournment. I actually think Rogam can win a bitish title at least

assassin · Post by **assassin** » 11 Apr 2008, 19:29

that was quality!!!

who cares about the boxers records, when you got big guys in there giving it 100% there's gonna be fireworks!

so much better than a Plank W arren prospect v TBA filled undercard.

this IS what boxing needs, competitive fights.

Rogan is hard as nails, he scares me a bit

Well done Rogie!

He showed himself to have plenty of heart, grit, bottle, no little skill and a decent dig to boot.

I enjoyed the show and a couple of the fights were genuine barnstormers.

Fair play to Hearn he put together a very entertaining evening's boxing there!

glahn · Post by **glahn** » 11 Apr 2008, 19:37

What a hugely entertaining and successful night's boxing. Rogan showed a ton of heart, but I'd agree with those who say that Dolan really belongs at cruiser. He just doesn't have the pop to be a top heavy. If he did he would have taken Rogan out towards the end.

said it 2 weeks ago Rogan v Dolan final, told you all my money was on rogie at 9/1 lol now how do I spend this cash umm umm, might pay my subs to BN for a few years lol

what a fight of fighting, as said before 8 fights were both guys wanted to win. rogie just showed that little bit more grit and determination to get the title. Hopefully this was worth hearns while and he runs some more shows in this format as tonight as much as it could have been a hug fest as a crackin nights boxing. any of you guys that paid £30 for a ticket defo got your monies worth.
