If Munroe fought the Thai last night

Exactly!

 

Munroe does not have the power to trouble Dunne, what is so hard to understand about that. Munroe wouldn't be able to back Dunne onto the ropes and lean on him, which is essentially all he does, cos Dunne has too much skill for him. Jesus, Dunne lost to a world class big punching guy with an amazing ko rate, Munroe is European level and has no power. It's not the same thing at all atsch

 

I'm not hyping Dunne, I'm teling you that just because Dunne was ko'd by one of the best in the divison does not mean the featherfisted binman would beat him.
Steve Molitor was ko'd by Caballero, would Munroe beat Molitor? No he wouldn't.
Dunne may have poor punch resistence but Munroe just does not have the power to capitalise on that. I know it's real easy for all you Munroe fans to jump on Dunne's loss and predict a win for Munroe if they ever fought. The fact of the matter is Dunne was a world champ and became so by beating a prime world class operator, he stepped up to fight another world class boxer who unfortunately had too much power for him. Munroe on the other hand has been fed Euro and Afro bums for the past year and a half and has looked less than spectacular in victory. Let's see how binman get's on at world level before we start making any comparisons.

 

Haha hilarious the way PatrickP keeps ignoring the point about Martinez.

 

Would probably favour Poon.

Munroe could out box him a bit from distance for awile but eventually Poon would close the gap and start pounding on Munroe inside. Munroe isn't to bad up close but i would have to favour the litler guy up close to get the upper hand.

Also Monroe might let Poon in close and start trading with him as Monroe does have a tendancy to do this.

It would be close as Monroe is a decent fighter and as shown against Martinez he does raise his game for the big fights but i think Poon would win a close but decisive fight or even late round stoppage.

As for Dunne v Monroe im not to sure who wins that one. Ok, Dunnes chin is shaky, but, Monroe isn't a big puncher and styles make fights and i can't remember Monroe fighting anyone even remotely as slick and quick as Dunne.

If Monroe beats Maladrutto (which won't be easy) and can't land a title fight then i think a Dunne fight would be the best bet for him.

 

In fairness to Dunne i think if he was to fight Martinez again he could actually beat him if he uses his brain.

Dunne got carried away in their fight when he landed a decent shot and waded in like a fool and got caught by a big puncher.

If they were to fight again i think Dunne would be on his back foot countering the incredibly slow and predictable Martinez all night long for a wide UD.

Now im not saying Dunne is better than Monroe or vice versa. Just trying to say that the Martinez beat Dunne, Monroe beat Martinez so Monroe would beat Dunne argument isn't a very good one.

 

Martinez is definately the elephant in the room :thumbsup

 

Speaking of Martinez, he got beat the other night in South Africa by Takalani Ndlovu. Did anyone see it by any chance? Would like to know if Martinez had tried to make any improvements to his game.

 

Thats not really the argument people are using...Patrick is saying that Dunne would beat Munroe because Bernard has mixed it at world level and Ren hasn't whilst neglecting to mention the Martinez fiasco

 

Of course not,and that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying it must be taken into account,considering the vastly different fortunes of Dunne and Munroe against Martinez.

 

Laugh it up chuckles, I have addressed the Martinez point numerous times before. Styles make fights, Munroe beat Martinez, Martinez beat Dunne, that dosen't mean Munroe would beat Dunne.

Here's an example for you, Dunne beat Cordoba, Cordoba beat Caballero, now would Dunne beat Caballero? Using your comparison he would.

 

Read my last post. That's obviously not what I'm saying,but I don't see how you can ignore the Martinez fights when comparing the two fighters.

 

Ah right. Maybe i should read all the posts first before wading in with my ill-informed opinions.

I think i shall disgracefully bow out of this discussion then.
