Could Monroe fight again in 2 weeks?

[Hougigo]

Didn't see the fight... didn't wake up early enough. Saw this though

Artie Pellulo told me yesterday the winner of Monroe-Adams could be in the mix to face Jorge Melendez on Cotto-Martinez undercard #boxing

Looks like their top opponent search didn't go so well on short notice.

Could be another huge step up just a few short days after his biggest win

Very interesting. I figured Willie would take some more time, but this is a pretty big stage. It'd be the fight right before the main event right?

According to BoxRec, Melendez is fighting a 12-rounder so it's most likely the co-main. This is a big opportunity for Monroe, wonder if he has enough confidence to take it.

I reckon its possible, he boxed well but did get clipped with some shots but didn't give signs he was rocked bad. He was showboating and everything too.

[MaskedMurderer]

I wouldent advise it, he is gonna get a big fight next no matter what. Why take a fight so close to a not grueling fight but neither was it a easy fight.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Hard for him to pass it up

[The Gambler1981]

That is a tough call

[Evil Abed]

He should turn it down. He plenty of MW's for him to fight.

He said in the post-fight interview he's going down to 54, but I'm sure if he gets a good fight at 60, he'll take it. I agree with you though. I think he should rest up. He'll get a good fight.

It's got to be appealing. Melendez was outworked by Nick Brinson, who Monroe absolutely owned as an amateur. He beat Brinson at least 5 times, including in the 2007 NYS Golden Gloves final.

If he had 4 or 5 weeks to prepare, I'm sure Willie would be licking his chops for such an opportunity. That said, I doubt he'll take the fight on such short notice. As others have noted, his next fight will be a significant one in any case.
