Promoter Frank Maloney is planning a clash between close pals Rendall Munroe and Jason Booth this summer, providing Booth is successful in his European super bantamweight fight against Kiko Martinez in Madrid on April 15. Munroe returns to action an eight rounder against Chris Riley at Rainton Meadows Arena, Houghton-le-Spring on Saturday April 9 his first fight since losing on points to WBC 122lb champion Toshiaki Nishioka in October. Provided the Leicester binman beats Riley he expects to become official challenger for the European crown he once held. Maloney explained, It is a fight that Jason and Rendall have been reluctant to talk about let alone contemplate. They except that business is business and there is now a real possibility that will have to face each other in the near future. Rendall wants to win back his old crown and Jason will not want to relinquish once he beats Martinez.
After all his "I can't put these two chums in the ring together" talk. Munroe will be too physical for Booth. This fight would have been very competitive two years ago but now I think Munroe will be too strong. It could all be irrelevant anyhow because there is a very realistic chance Booth doesn't come away from Spain with that belt.
Hope it ****ing don't happen...two mates with aspirations for world honors although Jason's time's nearing an end i don't wanna see one break the other's dream. Let both go about there work Maloney. I dunno i like both...just don't wanna see it. Be good fight no doubts but i fear Jason would lose...in his prime he'd win IMO but now different story but still good bout.
This would definitely be a fight of two halves. I wonder where Maloney will go if Martinez wins against Booth...... surely not a 3rd between him and Munroe? Why not push Munroe up to 126 and look for an opening there?
get the two of them in together theres no wy the two of them are gettin back to world level...one might ave a chance if booth can get over kiko i want to see booth win meself because kiko said if he wins he wont defend against casey as he fuked him over by notdefendin the belt against him after he relinquishedit
