He went to prison, not to Princeton."

42 year old Martin Rogan ko'd by 31 year old Erkan Teper, Germany...



Three  right hands in a row and it looks like Rogan was out after the first two rights.  The third had added power because the ropes saved Rogan and bounced him into the third crushing right hand in a row.  So we have his momentum meeting the power of Tepler  while Rogan was already out cold.


 Rogan's brains got shook, as Joe Frazier would say.
