Rendall Munroe fighting for the vacant commonwealth belt (part of the hatton show)

I've been waiting for Dunne vs Munroe for a while now but what better way for them to face off than in a World Title fight.
Bernard has it all to do though as Cordoba is no mug and has beaten some good fighters including Celestino Caballero a few years back.
Cordoba actually offered this fight to Munroe first but for whatever reason he turned it down.
It's all up to Dunne now and with 9000 screaming him on come Saturday night i really hope he can pull it off.

 

munroe should fight someone up near the top 10 region, id say **** the commonwealth the european strap is good enough although the level in europe is quite low compared to other weights,

after seeing bernard dunne today i think munroe should stay at home and not come to dublin for saturday night, dunne already looks badly weight drained (time of writing is wednesday), i think his chances of winning are 20%

 

monroe is world class and at 28 needs to quit the day job so he can perfect his skills

i have high high hopes for monroe

 

Munroe needs to stop with the bins... and get a World Title Elimantor asap !!

A comonwealth belt is a waste of time, If Munroe did turn Cordoba down... then i'm pretty dissapointed

 

a message for monroe

quit your day job

 

yeah what the **** is ehe doing with that job, he must be the only european champ with a full time day job

 

He did, Maloney even said so on Bunce's show, after Cordoba's management had already mentioned on Irish radio that he did. Maloney said there's no point fighting for a World title until Munroe can win it, and that Dunne's World title fight will be the last fight of his career.

Munroe might aswell pick up the British and Commonwealth titles before he faces Maludrottu in about 9 months time. The guys he's fought at European level(bar possibly Martinez), haven't been as good as the likes of Matthew Marsh anyway.

 

What a night of boxing this will be!

 

Sorry to spoil the party, but Bernard Dunne isn't going to beat Ricardo Cordoba, so Munroe will need to find an alternative route to a world title.

 

Maloney is pretty chicken **** if you ask me. Taking pops at Dunne while at the same time he hasn't the balls to stick Munroe in with Cordoba if the Panamanian wins the fight. Quite the ****ing big man there Maloney. You had the chance to take on Cordoba and knocked it back then he has the gaul to take a swipe at the man who decided to step up to the plate.


Dunne is horribly weight drained and I expect him to get stopped early. His new strength and conditioning coach/nutritionist team seem to have ****ed up badly. He was an underdog to begin with but his hopes are non existent now.

I think Munroe needs to step it up. Quit the day job, up the level of opposition and start sniping around the fringes of world class and see how he goes. Don't think the commonwealth title is a big step forward or anything but it will at least keep him active. Time to step it up in class though I reckon. 28 isn't old but you can't wait forever to start making a move up

 

How does everyone know Dunne is so badly weight drained ?

I expect if Munroe could afford to give up the bins he would. He has also said numerous times it really helps his fitness, he says he sets quite a pace on his round lifting lots more than the other guys. Then goes training.

 

As long as he isn't gun shy (I think he killed someone) Cordoba will spark Dunne.

 

Yeah, Marsh should be Munroe's next fight. Would be an exciting fight, no doubt, but I think Munroe's body shots will be the deciding factor.
