Rogan vs Sexton!

[porkypara]

Watched the fight in work last night and was disgusted at the way it was reffed.


Sexton held on the inside right from the start and was wanrned but no points taken.

Both fighters gave it there all and you cant blame Sexton for doing what he can get away with coz its the refs job to enforce the rules.

Cant remember an example of worse refing in a British ring.(I dont have a good memory)

Rematch,rematch,rematch,rematch,rematch!!!!!!


Gutted by the fight,at first Rogan had the option to finish Sexon but stood there asking Sexton to trade punches back at him instaed of just going in and finishing,and then the incident with the gumshield too!Rogan's eye was really badly close.Im sure a rematch would be even a more better fight.The 8th round was a classic!!

You can't take too much away from Sexton. He boxed very well and Rogan was a tool to stop fighting when he did. This was the best British Heavyweight fight for a while so lets hope Warren makes the rematch because the ending was too controversial and the fight was too good not to do it again.

Has anyone read Sam Sexton's comments on the bbc website regarding this fight today? He at least had the common sense to look a bit sheepish in the post fight interview when he had Rogie sitting next to him, but I'm not sure Sexton's on the same planet as the rest of us!

"I felt in control all the way through the fight, I felt as though I was winning the rounds comfortably,"
"So he came out throwing everything, and we actually clashed heads, he caught me on top of my head and to be honest I saw stars."

In my mind, Rogan's eye had to lead to the fight being stopped, but to go out when Sexton has turned his back, refused to fight, and wasn't even looking at his opponent with his gumshield on the floor seconds earlier is the bugbear. That fight should have finished with Dave Parris waving his hands in front of Sexton, but the doctor when asked had no choice but to call it off. Didn't like Sexton's attitude beforehand, and I'm afraid I like it even less post fight.
