Helenius vs Rogan June 24th

Man, this is going to be a great HW fight

Cmon Rogie!

Helenius is active. Good for a developing HW.

What happened to his fight with Liakhovich?

Good questions. Getting conflicting information. Some places are reporting that he's fighting Rogan while other sites are saying he's fighting Liakhovich

why not just have the man take out one guy, and then 6 weeks later take out the other. He is going through everyone they put in front of him without too much trouble.

LOL...I just checked Boxrec & they have Helenius fighting TBA in Germany on 6/25/11 and Liakhovich on 7/16/11.

Rather see this that Liakovich, go Rogan!

I guess there is a purse war going on. Rogan is Helenius's manditory

Rogan still gunning for EU chance3 June 2011 - Jonny Stapleton

Iron Man Rogan is still in line to become Ireland’s EU title hero after it was revealed he remains on course for a dream continental clash with Robert ‘Nightmare’ Helenius.

Fears Rogan’s chance to re-gatecrash the big time had passed, surfaced when neither Suaderland promotions nor a promoter on the Belfast man’s behalf lodged a purse bid to promote the fight before on by the May 26 deadline.

However, both Sauderland promotions and the EBU confirmed yesterday that the fight looks set to go ahead but at a later date. A new purse bid date has been set and both parties have until June 14 to reach an agreement. The EBU also confirmed that the inaugural Prizefighter winner and former Commonwealth title holder is still mandatory challenger for world number 2 Helenius’ title.

As a result if the Finn decides to vacate the Entertainer will still get a chance at European glory.

“Helenius is still champion and Martin Rogan is still the official challenger. We did not receive any bid at the first call for the purse offers last week. Now we must wait until next 14th June at 12noon for a new bid to see when and where the fight will be held,” an EBU official told www.irish-boxing.com before a Sauderland representative confirmed Rogan is in their sights.

“A new purse bid has been scheduled for this fight. Martin Rogan is in our plans.”

I never even heard of Rogan.

He's the most bad ass cabbie you'll ever meet.

so is rogan just a tough cab driver or is he a pretty good fighter?

He's an okay club fighter, KO'd Matt Skelton and Fraudley. He just isn't very active.

He's old and started boxing when he was in his late 30s. He's ok. His fights are entertaining. Which is all I ask for at this point as far as HW division goes. Given up expecting quality

He has zero skill but he comes to fight.

Rogie in devastating form. Wouldn't be surprised if Helenius pulled a Haye on this one.

LOL Rogie is an animal.

Didn't Rogan retire after Sexton spanked him ?
