"Gonna Fly Now" by the Rocky Orchestra
I love a good underdog story. I love how the puncher's chance can actually come true.
However, I also believe that all the stars must align for a monumental upset to happen. All the celestial forces on course to collide in November's mega fights doesn't include astrological fortune for Brett Rogers.
At 6-5 and at least 265 lbs, Brett Rogers is huge and his one-punch knockout power is as impressive as his frame. However, his skill is rudimentary on all ends of the spectrum, and in spite of his ability to knock opponents out, I think it's more likely that he finds himself on the receiving end of Fedor's sambo casting punch.
In Rocky, Rocky Balboa takes out Ivan Drago.
In Rocky Balboa, the creeky senior citizen version of Rocky puts up a surprisingly tough fight against the virile and powerful Mason Dixon.
But I don't see a competitive fight - much less a dramatic upset - happening.
Brett Rogers doesn't have the technical striking nor the elusive mobility required to keep Fedor at bay and pick him apart at opportune moments.
He will be in for a rude awakening, and see how quick Fedor is stunning and finishing his opponents. I think Fedor will either connect with a punch or set up a takedown with his striking, pound Rogers and then put a submission hold on him.
This will be Fedor-Sylvia all over again.
