The biggest test of Rendall's career. He's temporarily binned his day job (see what I did there? :hey) to prepare for this fight. Maludrottu is a solid Euro class fighter but is kinda unproven at SBW. John Watson (who beat Martin Gethin in an absolute ******* earlier this year) returns on the undercard. He faces the tricky Youssef Al Hamidi. Ovill McKenzie, Scott Haywood and Larry Olabumiwo are all also in action. Coverage starts on SS1 in 10 mins :good
What's wrong with my thread? :twisted: Just kidding, I won't even be around to do a RBR, as the main event will probably be on while I'm at the gym. :yep You're probably the better RBRer anyway.
Don't think it would be the best idea for Munroe to start slow tonight. EBU title, Italian opponent, dodgy judges, slow start from Munroe. You can see where I'm going with this :deal I hope Maludrottu gives him a test at least anyway
Anyone picking the Italian? I've only seen him against Hasegawa and he was comprehensively outclassed. However Hasegawa is more than a few levels above Rendall.
I have dual US/UK citizenry by birth (my dad's naturalized American, born Liverpooler). :deal They actually changed that law in '83 but they grandfathered it, so made it by the skin of my teeth. :yep
Let's hope he does better than the last Italian to fight for the European title on British soil. I'm sure you know who I'm referring to... Should be a good fight to be honest, I don't know what state Maludrottu was in but in the days when he was beating Napa and coming up just short at world class he was a very good boxer.
Crap, what time? If it's before 11:30 GMT, looks like it's reading this thread and hunting down YT clips later for me. :conf
As ever I'll be keeping an eye on the in-play odds on Bet365 incase anything good comes up. Quite often it does. Starting out at 1/8 Munroe, 2/1 stoppage, 4/6 points Maludrottu 9/2, 14/1, 7/1
No shite. This is like three hours before Sexton-Rogan went on. Why the inconsistency? :? On this side of the lake the headliners typically touch gloves around 10-11:30pm, whether it's HBO, Showtime, or Telefutura...
