Rogan-Sexton press conference video.Worth watching!

[JazMerkin]

Apparently there's more to this than we see here. Sexton allegedly has been going about trying to use the sectarian divide to get protestants to turn up to support him. He was visiting loyalist murals & according to the chatter on some sites, it's alleged that he made an implication about Rogan being Catholic & his associations. If even a small part of this is true, it not only explains Rogan's fury, it also shows Sexton up as a truly despicable character.

I hope Rogan batters him.

Hardly, I mean it's a fight and they want to get into each other's heads. It's no different to Haye abusing the Klitschko's or Hopkins snatching the Puerto Rican flag, or Roger Mayweather coming to the ring wearing a sombrero every time he fought a Mexican.

It's all pantomime and it sells the fight.

Let's be honest, because of the mutual hatred and war of words between these two arn't you 10 times more excited about this fight than if they were both just being nice and respectful?

I WANT them to trash talk, have to be pulled apart at future conferences and for them to both charge into the other on fight night and try and knock each other's heads off.

I'll be bouncing up and down on my little chair, clapping my hands with glee and gleaming with the nice healthy hew of bloodlust.

No, considering the history of what's gone on in Northern Ireland, it's disgraceful. There's promoting the fight & crossing the line into a place that only embarasses the sport further. The fact it seems to have not been used as a promotional tool, but rather an effort to use divisions in Belfast communities against Rogan tells me all I need to know about Sexton. I wish English HWs weren't such dicks.

For Sexton to use the sectarean devide as a pr tool is totaly out of order.

There is still violence in NI today and they dont need a ignorant boxer to make it worse.


Hope Rogan batters him.

Does anyone else get the feeling from the interview that Sexton is enjoying being the bad guy here? After watching it again, with his slick shirt and tie, looking very shiny and groomed....he's almost like the WWF's Ted Dibiase back in the day....a cartoon villain. Compare him with the crumpled shirts of Rogie and his trainer...

I think Sexton looks a bit rattled.

This is a rematch he did not want,he was forced to take this fight and I hope he gets knocked the fuck out.
