View Full Version : Rendall Munroe v Simone Maludrottu RBR thread
The biggest test of Rendall's career. He's temporarily binned his day job (see what I did there? :hey:lol:) to prepare for this fight. Maludrottu is a solid Euro class fighter but is kinda unproven at SBW.
John Watson (who beat Martin Gethin in an absolute ******* earlier this year) returns on the undercard. He faces the tricky Youssef Al Hamidi.
Ovill McKenzie, Scott Haywood and Larry Olabumiwo are all also in action.

Don't think it would be the best idea for Munroe to start slow tonight. EBU title, Italian opponent, dodgy judges, slow start from Munroe. You can see where I'm going with this :deal
I hope Maludrottu gives him a test at least anyway
I assumed it was a fight discussion thread as opposed to a RBR thread. Plus you're not a Brit :bart
Anyone picking the Italian? I've only seen him against Hasegawa and he was comprehensively outclassed. However Hasegawa is more than a few levels above Rendall.

I have dual US/UK citizenry by birth (my dad's naturalized American, born Liverpooler). :deal They actually changed that law in '83 but they grandfathered it, so made it by the skin of my teeth. :yep
Let's hope he does better than the last Italian to fight for the European title on British soil. I'm sure you know who I'm referring to...
Should be a good fight to be honest, I don't know what state Maludrottu was in but in the days when he was beating Napa and coming up just short at world class he was a very good boxer.

59-55 Maludrottu again with the better work. Munroe backs him up a little, leans on, throws a load of arm punches that get blocked then Maludrottu comes out with countering left hooks that land flush.
He's lucky Maludrottu isn't a ferocious puncher or he might just be ready to be taken out

To be honest I think it was a loaded statement from BamBam :lol:
I'm not watching this fight, however at times Munroe will eat shots for no reason. Kiko Martinez landed 3 lead right hands in a row against him in the 2nd fight, how the hell can you be stupid enough to let a fighter do that(unless you're fighting Floyd Mayweather), especially one you're better than. Dunne imo would dominate Munroe, he'd just find him too easy to hit.
Anyway from the sound of things on here and taking the Damaen Kelly fight into consideration Maludrottu has probably won 121-105.

And lads, as for the above, I've no interest in kicking off this Dunne/Munroe stuff. The lad Munroe has got himself a world title crack if he wants it so its his time to step up into the bigtime and give it a go.
I will say this, though, he'll need to improve hugely to compete at that level. His corner really are terrible. Hard to see where the improvement will come from with those fools hanging around!

No the decision might not be wrong but 116-112 Munroe, whilst throwing pit pat punches and Maludrottu throwing the better punches in so many rounds. I'm for Munroe, but the scorecards are poor

the judges were impressed by munroe's pitter patter punches in the first 6 i guess, no quality or class.

-------------------------------------------------
Munroe fought brave and showed tremendous work rate but he showed how limited he is. Too 1 dimensional and if your 1 dimensional you need power which he hasn got. I don't know enough about Nishioka but skilled operators with any decent footwork will out point him at world class level.

Munroe is not the one judging i guess so well done to him, but it was close and he still needs to take a few more top 15 contenders to polish his skills because they aint that good atm.

Dunne would not be taking shots like that from a limited fighter like Maludrottu! He's too quick, has better footwork, and is just better all round really. Maludrottu is no Poonsawat or even Kiko so how you see Maludrottu stopping Dunne is beyond me!

I thought Munroe was slightly lucky. Tactically he was erratic and he basically relies on work rate and stamina, which might be why his corner's advice doesn't go beyond `work harder` - that makes more sense in retrospect.

But Joe's "pitter-patter" seemed to do some long-term damage. A scoring punch has to be meaningful.
Edit: Before I get leapt upon by the Clazaghe haters - meaningful, as in causing harm or discomfort.

Agreed.
Munroe was the stronger in the middle rounds but Maludrottu started and finished the fight well and threw the more effective punches in my opinion.
Never 4 rounds of a difference in it. :huh

Care to elaborate ?, I wouldn't call starting slowly(and therefore just giving away rounds) before leaning all over your opponent and pushing him to the ropes while throwing a crude body attack a master technician(and if he's the best in the UK then that's what he'd be).
As I said I haven't seen tonights fight, but unless Munroe has turned into a World Class fighter overnight I doubt the truth in that statement.

Munroe did look good in the middle rounds - good head work, controlled distance well. But he just looks like he's winging it most of the time.

After tonight I think Munroe has a huge problem in the gym. He's just a really physically fit and durable man. His corner seem to think thats the be all and end all. There was very little tactically from them and I think that is what will end up getting their man KO'ed as he moves up

My point was not whether Dunne would or wouldn't beat Maludrottu, I agree he'd outbox him, but the fact is Munroe is better prepared to deal with a fight when the going gets tough. He's much stronger, much tougher and can last at a good pace and thats what he has going for him.

Against Kiko he basicall tucked up and absorbed big shots for the first three rounds ..kiko looked disheartened and Munroe then took over as Martinez virtually punched himself out ! tonite he used his strength to wear Maldrottu out throo the middle rounds and came on very strong from 7 to 11 ... the first 3 rounds were 50/50 calls to be honest ....

The daft thing is...in a way he is right.
Any decent boxer in his weight class(es) will never truly be validated until they fight him or he is beaten, whereby they can then judge each other.

His chin looks decent enough at this level but Maludrottu is not a puncher and he did look a bit shaken at times. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not the granite chin I've heard some say he has.
