Scott Quigg vs Rendall Munroe

If Quigg has power this job is pretty easy. Thats what can stop Munroe going on his traditional mid-late fight charge. If you can discourage him from coming relentlessly forward and hunting for the body you take away any threat really. The main thing he has is coming on late with his size and strength and just imposing himself by any means, but if you cut that in half with quality punching he's a bit ****ed as we saw against Nishioka. A half hearted onslaught from Munroe will never be enough against a good fighter, its all or nothing because he simply doesn't possess the accuracy.

 

The two for me are at the same level physically speaking.

I'd expect a booth- munroe fight to go exactly as booth- quigg did.

Neither have 1 punch power but both have a great engine. The one key difference is we've never seen quigg under the type of pressure munroe would bring.

I'd expect a war with an exhaustion stoppage coming late on (bit like moore v macklin without the 1 punch finish).

 

I think Quigg would have his hands full with Munroe personally.

Munroe hasn't looked great in his last couple, but since I first started following his career there is a bit of a theme developing of him not really being up for it in the lesser fights.

What has tended to separate him from his opponents is his mid-late round surge, Nishioka had obviously seen it all before and knew how to deal with it. Quigg hasn't at this stage, I like the kid but we might be going a bit overboard on the back of his impressive win at the weekend.

Obviously there's little more he could have done, he dominated Booth and got him out of there, and to quote Steve Bunce - ''if he was American and had done this with his nice KO ratio we'd be calling him a world beater already instead of putting him down''.

If I was training a fighter to work Munroe I'd tell him to focus exclusively on the body for the first four rounds, try and beat the surge out of him.

Most of his fights (against good opponents) are DLH in reverse. He loses all the early rounds, then wins the middle and late ones, knowing his got the chin to withstand a late onslaught from the opponent.

 

I actually think munroe could beat him on points, he never looks great munroe but always gets the job done

 

Munroes only just given up his day job as a bin man a few weeks only because he now has a sponsor, he got 80k for nishioka fight but hasnt spent any of it i dont think.

 

Quigg.
