Martin Rogan v Luis Andreas Pineda

[slapbangwhallop]

Martin Rogan is fighting Luis Andreas Pineda, who has only won ONE fight in his last 8 bouts and for a tinpot title that has even been fought for in 6 years! Who ya kiddin????

:(

[DavidPayne]

But the promoter did knock on his door himself. So all good.

[Craig14]

Well he got another 15 mins in the spotlight due to Tyson Fury choosing to fight in N.Ireland. Now normal service has resumed. I can see a fight with Danny Williams in Latvia on the horizan.

'Rogie' Return'

http://boxing-ireland.com/20110905_mart ... da_67.html

Rogan, 14-2 (KO 7), who recently declined an offer to fight British and Commonwealth champion, Tyson Fury, at the same venue later this month has also withdrawn from a European Union title fight clash with German-based Bulgarian Kurbrat Pulev, stated when asked how does this fight compare to facing one of the Klitschko brothers, "this belt is just as big, make no mistake about it."

Nope, no mistakes about it being made over here, no sir.

Rogan is taking the piss. Belfast is a well educated boxing city and will not fall for this WBU rubbish. I think the last few months or so have lost Rogan a lot of fans.

Is Rogan going for the easy life then? This is a bad comeback trail.

Rogie fighting for the WBU title?
I guess he's given up on his major title ambitions then.

Team Rogan' alternaive take on things

A few people have told me Rogan already lost friends/support in Belfast. This true anyone? Know why if it is?

Maybe because of that interview above. Jesus wept.

“For once in the history of Irish boxing, Irish fight fans are going to realise the dream of watching one of their own fight for a heavyweight title on home soil. I will be a world heavyweight champion on October 27. You better believe it!”

“I am going to become the first-ever Irish world heavyweight champion born and bred on this wonderful island. I am going to create a piece of sporting history for people to say they watched it being made in the historic city of Belfast, the fight capital of the world.”

“The WBU is a recognised title in world championship boxing and it will put me in the equation, big time.”

“On the night of October 27 when I am Ireland’s first real heavyweight champion, I will be calling on Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko to remind them that they don’t own all the titles and they will have to come to Belfast to fight me if they want to back up their claim to be the undisputed heavyweight team.”

Once he wins this then he call out wlad or vitali to unify his title. How deluded is he!

Can I just take this opportunity to point out that when Audley won the WBF title he never made it out to be a legitimate World title so, Rogan really has lost the plot here, beyond anything I have ever seen before.

[DavidPayne]

I've seen the master plan, and you are all missing it.

Rogan wins WBU WORLD title.

Audley Harrison salsa's to the Strictly Come Dancing British title.

Audley avenges his defeat to a Rogan and fulfils his dream of winning the WORLD title and in an epic irony the fight is shown live on primetime BBC 1 to an audience of millions.

Its all there to happen.

Cringeworthy stuff from Rogan.

[Crease]

Cringeworthy stuff from Rogan.

Indeed it is mate.
And the troubling thing about it all is that I got a phone call from my mate about ninety minutes ago and he was excited telling me: "Rogie's fighting for a world title".


But I will get speaking to him around 8ish when we go to the gym, and inform him that this is a lightly regarded belt.

[Crease]

My favourite quote is:

"The WBU is a recognised title in world championship boxing and it will put me in the equation, big time. I have worked day and night to make this world title shot a reality. People will see me in my best shape and at my most determined for this fight.
“On the night of October 27 when I am Ireland’s first real heavyweight champion, I will be calling on Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko to remind them that they don’t own all the titles and they will have to come to Belfast to fight me if they want to back up their claim to be the undisputed heavyweight team.”


Rogan must be joking if he thinks that winning the WBU Title will grab the Klitchskos attention.

I hope Fury v Rogan for the WBU title fight does not happen in the future.

Massive options for Rogan after this. Harrison, Fury or cash in against a couple of bums in America and then fight the winner of Fury vs Harrison.

All much bigger money than he was offered for the Pulev and Fury fights recently

I didn't consider that. It didn't even occur to me. That will be a circus.

It is a good platform for Rogan... But still, there's something about his lack of ambition. And this title is not as significant as Rogie is presenting it.

I was always a Rogie fan, but there's something very underhand about this. I will be cheering him on, I hope he wins it but to me, he's looking for the easy way to the top.


He won't even go for the British title, as would be considered the conventional route.

[JDC]

Hes old and shot. Fair play and good luck to him. I'd do the same
