Highlights Of Martin Rogan Vs. Matt Skelton (Looks Like A Pretty Good Scrap)

Posted by Tim Starks on Mar 7, 2009 21:04

Promoter Frank Warren called it the best heavyweight fight he’d seen in past 15 years. I don’t know about that, but the highlights of Martin Rogan against Matt Skelton last weekend in the U.K. sure are nice. Good upset and back story, too. (h/t BLH)
