Scott Quigg vs. Tshifhiwa Munyai & Anthony Crolla vs. John Murray RBR

Rendall stopped himself.

Not to discredit Josh, well-earned victory, good showing - but this was far removed from a knockout. Munroe probably could've banged on the last five and never been in any danger...he just had enough and bagged it.

 

The ref walked over, Munroe's people were having a close look at him, and there was some communication (verbal or non, can't tell) leading to it being called off before the bell to sound the eighth.

Munroe honestly didn't look to have any intentions of getting off it once his buttocks hit the stool. Just kind of sank onto it and began to sulk and look resigned.

 

100%, but he was a warrior for years and shouldn't be raked over the coals for this.

I hate when that happens.

Guys like Acelino Freitas, etc, get remembered just for the note they left on with all that preceded it thrown out the window.

 

Classy stuff from both in the interview.

Munroe barely holding back tears.

 

Fast Car Eddie is all smiles, and plugs the May 21st show on which Josh Warrington is appearing next.

He thanks and congratulates Munroe on his career and bids him luck with his next move in life with apparent sincerity.

 

Nothing groundbreaking, what you'd expect. Gave Warrington credit, said he'll pick up lots of belts, thanked his fans profusely.
