New Heavyweight K.o Tournament

[superheavyrhun]

What time it kickin off then?

9.30pm.....which probably means I won't get home before the semis. My shift finishes at ten o'bloody clock, and then a 15 minute zoom down the M4 before I plonk my arse in front of the TV.

Instead of zooming down the M4 zoom over to York Hall & I'll buy you a pint

If it were a couple of years ago when I lived near Bow Market I'd be there like a flash. Unfortunately, leaving Swansea at 10pm, I doubt I'd make it there in time for breakfast . I'm banking the offer of a pint for the future though...

Which fighters meet in semis ?

[telboy66]

This is how I see it going but I have been wrong before
HEAVYWEIGHT COMP SEMI FINAL

DAVE FERGUSON V BILL BESSEY * BILL BESSEY V MARTIN ROGAN *

ALEX IBBS V MARTIN ROGAN *

PAUL BUTLIN * V COLIN KENNA PAUL BUTLIN V DAVID DOLAN *

DAREN MORGAN V DAVID DOLAN *


FINAL

MARTIN ROGAN V DAVID DOLAN *


WINNER DAVID DOLAN
& I have got a tenner on Dolan

[Fenster]

Hope you're right about the final.. ive backed BOTH Dolan and Rogan

(must point out it's terrible news for you guys backing Dolan (that Fenster's boc money is on him), chances are he'll either getted sparked-out by some freakish "lucky" punch or be cruising to victory only to end-up having to pull out injured.. you've been warned )

[med]

If this is the way it is seeded. Then I think

HEAVYWEIGHT COMP SEMI FINAL

DAVE FERGUSON V BILL BESSEY (Ferguson wins on pts)
ALEX IBBS V MARTIN ROGAN (Martin Rogan by Stoppage)

PAUL BUTLIN V COLIN KENNA (Colin Kenna on pts)
DAREN MORGAN V DAVID DOLAN (David Dolan on pts)

Ferguson v Rogan should be interesting with Rogan winning on pts
Kenna v Dolan (Dolan on pts)

So I agree with the final but not sure which way it goes, I have not seen Dolan and cannot find any footage. I watched Rogan v Radcliffe Green & Paul King on youtube. Rogan is a come forward pressure fighter that will jump on you if he sees you are hurt. If Dolan has good boxing skills he should be able to win on pts ? Is Dolan essentially a boxer or does he mix it, because to stand and trade with Rogan looks a mistake to me.

Unfortunately I do not have SkySports so I am just hoping it will be streamed on sopcast or TVU. If not maybe some here would be able to inform us whats happening ??

Telboy nearly had his prediction bang on in the tournament, which was really good viewing and the final between David Dolan and Martin Rogan was exceptionally exciting stuff, with both fighters landing big shots.

However, Dolan was knocked down in the first as Rogan got in and used his old-man-skills to hang on to Dolan's right arm then pound him with his own right, five hard shots before Dolan went down. After that, Dolan was chasing a bit, and won the second round, boxing well and outworking Rogan, who seemed to be tiring. However, the 3-round format suited the 36-year old Irishman, who went all out in the last round, flooring Dolan for a second time, and effectively ending the fight. With Dolan needing a KO, he went all-out for it, clipping Rogan with some exceptional shots, but not able to put him down.

Personally, although I missed the first two fights of the evening, it was an amazing night's boxing, and really competitive. We saw Rogan really do some great work, and although Dolan seemed to be able to deal with most things in his first two bouts, the early knockdown in the final really scuppered it for him.

When it comes to the Prizefighter, Rogan was a great winner and showed huge desire for it, however Dolan looks like he might convert his form to the longer rounds better, if he can avoid getting caught with big shots.

I had £10 on Dolan at 3/1 & £10 on Rogan at 9/2 so I am pleased with the result

Actually if you check my predictions were closer as I even had the method of victories correct on all except Butlin v Kenna. Personally though I did not make a pick for the final but what I stated about Rogan was true and he took it in the end.
