Toshiaki Nishioka outclasses a brave Rendall Munroe in 12 punishing rounds

The no1 Japanese fighter today, Toshiaki Nishioka retained the WBC SBW belt in dominating fashion, winning all but 1 round vs. brave British challenger Rendall Munroe. The fight started competitive with Nishioka boxing on the foot and Munroe working from the middle of the ring. Toshiaki did enough to take the first 3, but it looked like he's in a tough fight as he seemed to tire and Munroe stepped on the gas to take the round bigtime. At that point it looked like we've got a nice competitive fight in our hands, but the champion himself switched to a higher gear and stunned the challenger with a flush left hand, and never looked back. Munroe couldn't find target as Nishoka boxed beutifully on move and started to wear Rendall down with punishing body shots, ladning almost at will as he stunned the challenger both in round 7 and 10. Munroe came out with his fists flying in the very exciting final round and caught Nishioka with a good amount of punches, but the champ responded with lighting fast flurries to once again stun his challenger, who survived. Brave effort by Munroe, and his supreme conditioning and chin prevented Nishioka to get his 4th stoppage win in the row, but it was a dominating performance notheless. On the other hand, at 34yo, the champ often looked winded and to be honest, a bit past his best, but over 12 punishing rounds, he remains the WBA SBW champion and the no1 guy in the division. Nice fight and great effort by both.


Undercard results:

Roman Gonzalez TKO2 Francisco Rosas
Jorge Linares RTD4 Jesus Chavez
Yoshihiro "Ref Killer" Kamegai KO6 Jose Alfaro

 

The fight is starting shortly. Gonzalez-Rosas and the Ref Killer fight is already over, if for whatever reason you don't wanna know the results, read no further.




UNDERCARD SPOILERS!




RG won by TKO in the 2nd round, Kamegai beat Alfaro by TKO in the 6th and Chavez retired in the 4th vs. Linares

 

Okay, doing RBR

Gonzalez-Rosas
R1 Big body shots by Gonzalez takes the round for him and good head shots
R2 Gonzales in all-assault mode, takes a big right hand but stuns Rosas with a huge one and a combination sends Rosas down. He goes down again shortly and a 3rd time and it's stopped. Excellent mix of body and head shots, hooks and uppercuts, power and placing, Gonzalez is a force at the LFW title

 

Looked great! Rosas has never been stopped before but was chopped down here. Still to work on defense, but Gonzalez is doing just fine in his new division. Superb combinations, left hook to the body, left and right uppercut, hooks, everything.

 

Main event starting shortly. Munroe is in ridiculous shape. Big test for Toshiaki. WAR JAPAN!!!

 

That's the fight we all look forward to. But first, Gonzalez has to face Reveco for the full version of the WBA, which I believe will happen next. In the meantime, Segura might have a rematch with Calderon in Mexico, and making it a double-header would be a nice set-up for a future showdown between these exciting punchers. It's about time for Gonzalez to get some mainstream recognition, and Segura is the fight.
