Sykes/Buckland II RbR!!! - Page 5

I don't care if he's not exciting, he's looking pretty good I think. He just needs to get the rounds in, you can tell that he's beginning to find some sharpness in there with his left hand. Very good so far defensively too.

Munroe's not a young kid that needs to gain experience doing rounds. He needs early knockouts to prove he's far beyond this kind of level. Should've taken this bloke out in one round but he's now let the guy warm to the fight and is boring everyone to sleep at the same time.

Anyone else think that the Jap looks like that bloke who follows Tom Cruise around in the last samurai? There is an uncanny likeness between them.

I enjoy watching Rendall as well, hes been OK tonight.

What pisses me off the most is how he just fucking stands there in a shell when his opponents throw down, no hint of counter punching or head movement.

Looks like he's trying to counter at the wrong times. It's fine tucking up in a shell but against someone this slow, he needs to come out and pick him off as well. Every time he does it's just one punch at a time.

I've always been under the illusion Munroe is holding back in his fights. Why is he so boring? He never seems to up the ante and go in for the kill. Its painful to watch him take a guy like this to a 10 rounder.

Yep, glad to see him boxing a bit more, rather than the usual and getting ragged trying to impose his size. He's out-manuvering his man here pretty easily, jabbing and leading with his left hand well, covering himself up and not letting anything get through when he's taking a breather. Entertainment aside there's not much to complain about.

He's very limited, people expect too much of the guy.

what round is it in now?

Mandanda · 09-24-2011, 03:42 PM

Rendall should of went fulltime around 2 years ago and maybe changed trainers i think he could do more as a fighter in terms of developing ability/power etc but sadly he's happy to be the likely lad.

Why the balls do Sky continue to televise meaningless fights like this?

Live I've said before, they should only show a live fight before if it's a prospect in a 'showcase' bout or a proper title fight.

Rendall "The Boxing Boreman" Munroe or... Rendall "Boring Binman" Munroe??

awful stuff

What happened to two title fights on a bill? They delivered for a while but it seems to have changed for some reason.
