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.
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.
