    Looks very good now.

    Since his defeat to Munroe he's picked up wins over Cermeno and after last night, Montiel.

    Same here. The loss to Munroe is on of the things I weighed up when looking at Terrazas-Montiel.

    Can they tempt Terrazas back to England for big money to defend against Rendall, would be another great fight, remember before Terrazas had great success in the early rounds.

    The only reason Munroe won was because they made the guy have a proper long journey and he was tired and drained.

    I think the bad preparation for the Munroe fight really didn't help him. Even then he did well early on.

    Bad preparation. Still, Rendall came on strong as the fight went on, something he hasn't done since before Nishioka.

    I think I said this in Flea's thread on Rigondeaux(?), he's a much better fighter than the Munroe fight would have you believe, and while I usually don't make excuses based on "bad preparation", his preparation was bad.

    Still though, a win Munroe really isn't given enough credit for. He's gone from being really overrated pre-Nishioka to very underrated post-Nishioka. Terrazas has got ample ability, I don't know why people were still judging him on the Munroe fight despite proving himself to be a quality operator after that.
     
  11. It's an easy assumption to make, albeit a lazy one.

    Losing by stoppage to Munroe doesn't look great, when you consider some downright awful fighters have taken Rendall ten or twelve rounds with relative ease.

    Really good win for Terrazas last night, didn't see that coming at all.
