View Full Version : Props to munroe
The_Demon 04-23-2010, 06:09 PM He didnt start well but once he imposed his strength the other guy didnt want to know,it was a rare display from a mexican fighter but rendall is huge at the weight
Excited that hes got a world title shot
War Boxing binman! :boxing:

it was ok.munroe was sloppy in the first 4 rouds and took a lot of shots but was never hurt,he started applying a lot of pressure from the 5th onwards bullying his opponent up against the ropes,who basically stopped throwing punches
he is promoted by maloney

i like maloney, but that sounds like alot of british fights latley.

the other guy just seemed slightly lost after he realized he couldnt hurt munroe plus the binman was clearly the physically stronger guy and landed some heavy body shots

Im glad munroe has got a title shot,just because hes such a hard working,gritty fighter
not to sure whether he can win it or not though
Shadows 04-23-2010, 09:22 PM Congrats to Munroe, I respect him a lot.
I suppose he's gonna fight Nishioka next? I wish he'd fight Poonsawat though, that's a more fan friendly fight, IMO.

That what i was thinking
I dont know much about Nishioka to be honest,whats he like?
adietheforestfa 04-23-2010, 09:33 PM Takes a few rounds to get going but this boy can fight and he is very big and strong for the weight.
good figh tonight

I guess you could describe Nishioka as a southpaw boxer/puncher. He likes to move a bit a work his jab and throw the straight left, which he'll work to both the head and body. Though, he will stand his ground and fight on the inside.
He's roughly the same size as Munroe, but Munroe looks bigger at the weight.
I haven't seen much of Nishioka at 122, I have his four fight series with Sahaprom from his younger days at Bantamweight. He couldn't beat Sahaprom (2Ls and 2Ds), but there's no shame in that. The only fight I've seen of his at 122 is with Jhonny Gonzalez, I have his fight with Hernandez, but haven't watched it. He's defending his belt on the 30th, on the Hasegawa-Montiel card. I have his fight with Hernandez, but haven't watched it.
Here's the Jhonny Gonzalez fight, if you haven't seen it. It's only three rounds and pretty action packed.

The_Demon 04-23-2010, 09:50 PM Cheers shadows
He looks good but i feel his and munroes style may not gel,both being southpaws wont help
Munroe looks very strong at 122 and i think that helps his chances,although he would come in as the dog
Earl-Lesnar 04-23-2010, 11:19 PM I only got to see the first 3 rounds of the fight, and it wasn't looking great for Rendall at that stage, so im happy he won
black.ink 04-24-2010, 03:18 AM Munroe has fought like that before, not sure if it's to work the fighter out or what, but the pressure he finally applied didn't look to be tactical, but was very effective.
Looks to be Nishioka next on the cards, as i'm certain he'll defeat Bangoyan who hasn't fought great opposition. I really hope Booth comes through in his next couple fights, as i'd like a Munroe/Booth encounter, preferably for a World Title.
Sparked_1985 04-24-2010, 04:49 AM I don't think Munroe is really a world-level fighter, I like him and he has all the grit in the world, so who knows.
The thing is though like has been said, he is huge at that weight. The size advantages he enjoys make him look like Roy Jones when he dwarfed Tito Trinidad, that is going to be hard to overcome.

Munroe/Booth would be a great domestic match-up
Irish Hitman 04-24-2010, 08:04 AM unroe aint ready for Poonsawat yet, let him fight Nishioka and if that goes to plan and he wins let him have one or two defenses with it then let poonsawat call
