119 - 109. Really?

I had it 38-38 after 4 rounds, giving Munroe the 2nd and 4th rounds, and I thought the first round was pretty close (although that could have been me in a state of shock at how well Munroe began the fight ). But after that, I gave Nishioka the rest of the rounds.

 

:good

It was a competitive fight for 6 or so rounds before but Nishioka was doing enough to win the rounds, by the 2nd half of the fight he was comfortably winning the rounds.

I gave Rendall two rounds and one even which was very generous of me tbh.

 

just back after a long weekend away so going to watch the fight now...sounds like a good un

 

The fact is was so wide is just an oddity of the scoring system. I had it 118-110, but I would say at least 5 of the 10 rounds that Nishioka took were close, he just had the extra touch of class that Munroe lacked.

 

just finished watching it and i agree with the 4th being the only round which could be clearly given to munroe.

watt gave the 5th as even which seemed really bizarred as thats the first round in which munroe got properly stunned and i thought nishi took it pretty cleanly. watt also gave the 9th to munroe which i didn't quite get.

 

im from leicester and i like munroe he is a decent family man lucky enough to speak to him a couple of times and unfortunately could only give him the 4th round.

 

I had him winning the 4th round only

Nishioka boxed a beautiful fight and I was just glad Munroe managed to go the distance.

I would be interested to see Rendall in with Molitor, I think that is a much more winnable fight for him.
