Rendall Munroe v WBC champ Nishioka?

i'd like to see him against Hunter or Marsh i think they'd be too good tests that would show alot.

 

I think the thing that jumps out at me here, as has been said in this thread already, is Munroe needing to take a chance. Dunne took the chance v Cordoba. Dunne and Peters had the belief to pull it off.

Munroe was offered that shot at Cordoba but turned it down. Personally I think Maloney was the reason behind it but its kind of hard to tell what Munroe thinks. He seems to have got a sligtly big head on him after a few EBU defences.

However, its come to the time where he needs to make something happen. If the fight with Nishioka was offered I would certainly think he should jump at the chance. I mean how many cracks at a world title can one man turn down.

If he really believes he can mix it at the next level then he should just go for it. Doesn't matter if its in Nottingham or Tokyo. Just go for it.

IBF is also an option. He'd have to go through Molitor or Mathebula to get it though. There are no easy options at this stage. Everything now is a step up. The easiest option would be Maladrottu but thats not a gimme either.

Munroe does lack things though. For his big frame he's not a big puncher, hes not mobile and he's not the most skilled. He does best against people who stand right in front of him and allow him to lean on and throw body shots. Don't expect any of those things to happen at the next level

 

too big an ask. youtube has a video of him agaisnt veershignrigpdongnan (sp?) it's in japanese sadly so time to make like a mole. he isnt a classy boxer but he does alot of things rigth and is tough with loads of intangibles. decent chin i think aswell. and his workrate will overwork munroe personally.

 

The japanese site Youku have some clips of his fights . It's similar to youtube .I use clipnabber to watch videos on this site but I cant post the link incase I get banned . Just copy the url and paste in clipnabber

 

Munroe to me looks the classic European class fighter. Hasn't got that bit extra to make him world class. Decent all-round fighter, strong, work-rate, okay skills. Just nothing great about him, average speed, little power, not the most accurate.

I'd prefer if he proved himself against a Maludrottu, or better yet just went ahead and fought Dunne.

 

Have yet to see him take a shot yet how good is his chin? Has he got the heart to go to the next level is what I cant see. You have to focus on boxing jack in the bins and go for it a 100% like everyone else. I can imagine him in a build up to a world title fight and still doing the bins its madness and it wont be enough part time boxer.

 

Rafael Marquez's number 1 and Munroe's number 2 contenders .Wonder if Marquez will fight for it or what's happening with him

 

I'd still like to see him get his shot though.

 

I'd say to Maloney, if the fight becomes possible to arrange, even in Japan, take it. It's better than fighting Dunne for his third of the WBA strap. Don't fancy Munroe to win against someone of Nishioka's calibre though, unfortunately.
