Rendalls Munroe's next opponent Isaac Nettey won 3 (KO 1) + lost 2 (KO 0) + drawn 1

[saintsmike]

Complete joke for someone who apparently wants to challenge Bernard Dunne. What a disappointment even Lante Adde beat this guy I'm sure he's tough and durable. But this fight is just pointless.

[achillesthegreat]

They might as well pick a top 10 domestic 122 fighter. A 3-2-1 for a title just looks bad on the record. It makes the belt a joke.

**SIGH** What's the bet, after the fight, we're left having a debate about why a fight like this was allowed to go ahead and if the Commonwealth title needs to be scrapped?

[Lee Mc]

Very disapointing if true.

I've been saying on another thread how I sincerely believe that he has the ability to box rings around Dunne but this is embarassing. He should just stick to EBU defences if this is the kind of rubbish the Commonwealth are going to throw up.

Surely Simone Maludrottu, with his controversial win over Damien Kelly and a victory over Ian Napa would be interested in another EBU shot?

If domestic why not Munroe vs Matthew Marsh??? I think that would be an excellent fight.

[brown bomber]

He has no chance of beating Dunne. Dunne is a world class fighter. Thus far Rendall has only demonstrated that he is a fortunate domestic title holder. He is yet to really capatalise. He was out maneuvered by Andy Morris and Morris, as talented as he is, is not a world class fighter.

i respectully disagree, monroe could and should beat dunne

[SteelTownCobra]

Well at least he's keeping busy. He's fighting 12 rounders every 3-4 months which isn't bad going. Admittedly though this opponent is sub-standard.

[dan-b]

Let's tell it like it is people, this is a disgrace. Maloney has some serious explaining to do and I hope Bunce asks him about it next time he's on his show.

[threethirteen]

Dunne beats Munroe. Dunne's only loss came cause he got caught early on and isn't the strudiest.

[Healy]

That is just crazy

How much of Dunne have you seen?

I have seen 15+ Dunne fights and know his ability boxing wise. Munroe is nowhere near Bernard on an ability level, the gap is massive

Munroe only has one chance, thats Dunnes weak chin. Otherwise Dunne outboxes big time

[pathmanc1986]

Munroe is euro class but no more. doesnt have the power nor the boxing skills etc needed to be world class. even still munroe is divisions above this guy. its fights like this that make people question boxings place at the top table of sport. how would it be if man utd played a conference team every week? also the chance of a serious injury occuring? i wana see maloney justify this.



im with jeff, bernard dunne would take munroe to school. all that good sparrin in the wild card must have paid off

[Lee Mc]

i respectully disagree, monroe could and should beat dunne

This is why Munroe vs Dunne would be an excellent fight. There seems to be a 50/50 split as to who people think will win...

[achillesthegreat]

I think he should acquire the C'Wealth. It shows more dominance in his divison before he steps up BUT I don't understand why a half decent Brit/Euro contender cannot be found.

[Beeston Brawler]

Fuck the Commonwealth 'title'

Do I get a South Leeds 'title' if I chin some joker outside a pub/takeaway - 'cos with a record of 3-2 that is all he will be.

Based on what, I have asked this question so many times but never get a valid answer.

[SouthpawSlayer]

another dunne munroe- im getting sick of these

lets face it lads the fight dont look like its gonna be going ahead, munroe is fighting in may, dunne and peters will want to sell out the point with a voluntary defence of the wba strap within 4 months so this puts munroe out of the question, then their plan is to bring cabbalero to dublin

also why choose munroe as a voluntary when you can choose a way easier fight who will demand less dollars and dunne and peters will favor this, tough fight against cordoba lets have a handy defence to get the ball rolling

this is whats gonna happen end of

Way easier fight? Who can Dunne fight as a voluntary that would be way easier than Munroe?

[selhurst]

So Jeff are you in the camp that Rendall is just big and strong at the weight?? I think he has improved a lot, in the last Martinez fight he seemed to be really thinking in the ring and worked the Spaniard out. If he fought Dunne it would be closer than some people on here think, he's very durable and works the body well.

But Dunne is a proven world class fighter....Munroe is the beneficiery of a very empty division.... Could you imagine What Brodie, Oliver, Medkoune, Mullings, Ramoni etc would have done with him? The win over the chap who beat Dunne was impressive but he had made his name catching Bernard cold and hasn't looked good since. I do rate him, but they are incomparable in terms of ability. Dunne would win every round.

[achillesthegreat]

Munroe is hardly domestic when he is the Euro champ with good Euro wins. Two of those wins are over the person who sparked Dunne. I don't think Munroe is as talented as Dunne but this is boxing and Munroe could beat a man that Dunne couldn't.

I saw plenty of people on here and other forums calling Dunne domestic level before he fought Cordoba, so by those people's(incorrect) logic Munroe should also be domestic level.

Munroe's a decent European champion but I can't see him coping with the next step up. Whether he will or not though, we certainly won't learn with this fight.

That is such a ridiculous statement.
By your logic, any boxer who beats Matrtinez, or even goes more than one round with him, is better than Dunne.

It's funny, Martinez is one of the less capable boxers that Dunne came up against as European champion (Pickering and Walstad having considerable more rounded skillsets), yet some will hold up Munroe's win over Martinez as proof of how great Munroe is, and claim he is somehow better than Dunne because he was able to outbox Kiko, all the while seeming to forget that Dunne has beat guys with 10 times more boxing capabilty than the Spaniard.

I guess it would not matter if Dunne went on to beat everyone in the top 10 and Munroe kept fighting bums till he ran out of options, Munroe would still come off better as he beat Martinez, right?
