Rogers just like Arreola did not give himself the best chance to win. I fully expected Fedor and Vitali to win those bouts, but if either Rodgers or Arreola had used their strengths (aggressiveness and punching power) they may have pulled off an upset? Both guys have knockout power, but their strategy to not employ it “balls to the wall” cost them any chance of winning. I know they are concerned about running out of gas and getting stopped, but they both got stopped anyway. They didn’t do what made them successful to that point and it cost them any chance of winning. I fault their corners for not having a strategy in place to maximze their fighters strengths, although sometimes your guy just doesn’t listen or perform at gametime. I know from working with fighters, it’s not always the physical aspect but the mental aspect where you come up short. “The Best Laid Plans” They should both do better the next time if they can learn from their mistakes.

Very good card and better than many UFC PPV shows. I was surprised at Rogers submission defense. And I’ve never seen Rogers fight that way, he was tenative and backing up.

as I was watching it it seemed a touch too quick a stoppage…though only by a couple of seconds, assuming rogers didn’t pull out of it…but rogers didn’t protest and he appeared to be rolling in defeat…so good job on big john’s part I guess…I wonder how much these guys make compared to the klitchkos or if they think of trying to cross-over…
