Martin Rogan has just knocked out Matt Skelton to become the Heavyweight Commonwealth Champion, just four & a half years after becoming a professional at small shows in town halls in Northern Ireland. As recently as December he was still driving a cab in order to help subsidise his boxing career, just prior to out-pointing Audley Harrison.
It's clear to anyone who sees him that he has little technical skill, & logically he should have at least been beaten by Harrison & Skelton, & possibly those in the Prizefighter tournament. What he has got is an unbelievable will that seems to push him beyond more talented opponents. After each win I tell myself that he's gone as far as he can, & maybe now he finally has, but it really is a true fairy-tale story considering he only put on gloves for the first time in 2001.
Anyway propz to Martin Rogan
