    I find it very hard to believe that he can do bantam.

    Wtf?....

    I remember someone mentioning it a while back, didn't believe it.

    He'd beat Jamie if it handles weight well..

    This is a bizarre move, if anything I'd have thought he'd move up.

    Realistically he ought to be able to beat McDonnell, but he's looked crap since losing to Nishioka and has been extended several times by some pretty poor fighters.

    If he's not right on the night he'll definitely get turned over. The key to beating him IMO is to get the first four rounds in the bank and then grind out a couple as Rendall comes on late.

    Munroe looks ****in huge at the weight can he do the weight ??

    Munroe is a little one paced , he's a solid well rounded fighter with more experience than McDonnel

    Hatton clearly doesnt fancy Munroe Quigg if this is true , i was of the opinion they would be headlining some time soon

    I wonder if the move has come about because he was almost 2lbs under when he fought in Japan?

    That and going full time rather than working on the bins.

    I saw him once at a Jamie Moore fight about three years ago, was nearly as tall as me and not exactly the most slender. How he makes 122 I've no idea, the extra 4lbs will probably be torture.

    Why would you want to drop to a weight..? which nobody cares about..? even more so than his original weight.

    Fool.

    Jamie beats him. There is absolutely no way Rendall makes the weight safely for me. The guy is a huge SBW as it is!

    How the hell is this even possible? He looks like a big, strong superbantam. He's been the bigger guy in pretty much all his fights.
