Yesterday, SaddoBoxing returned to Shinfield's Gym in Somercotes, Derbyshire, England to check on the progress of Rendall ‘2Tone’ Munroe as he prepares for the fifth defence of his European Super Bantamweight title against Simone Maludrottu on November 20.
It was a cold morning but I received a warm welcome and coffee from Jason Shinfield, who was already waiting at the gym.
Rendall soon arrived alongside Prizefighter Cruiserweight Champion Ovill McKenzie and girlfriend as well as light middleweight boxer Simon Fleck, who had also come to train.
Donning a few layers of clothing, Rendall began training. McKenzie – also made to wear a thick jacket – soon got in to the swing of training and it wasn’t long before he was grinning broadly! More...

This past Friday afternoon, SaddoBoxing visited Shinfield's Gym in Somercotes, Derbyshire, to check in on European Super Bantamweight Champion Rendall Munroe.
The "Boxing Binman" will be making the fifth defence of his crown on November 20 in Nottingham, England when he faces Italy's former European Bantam Champion and world title challenger Simone ‘Boom Boom’ Maludrottu, who brings a record of 30 wins (11 by KO) and 2 losses to the contest.
With an impressive record of 19 wins (8 by KO) and just 1 loss, which occurred during a British Featherweight title challenge against Andy Morris in 2006, southpaw Munroe is surely heading for a world title clash. More...

Friday night at the Bolton Arena in Bolton, England, Frank Maloney promoted a fight night headlined by three title bouts, billed as ‘War of the Roses’.
Salford boxer Jamie Moore faced Ryan Rhodes of Sheffield for the European light middleweight title, St.Helens boxer Gary Davies made the first defence of his British bantamweight title against Londoner Ian Napa and Stoke‘s Chris Edwards made his second defence of the British flyweight title against Mongolian-born Shinny Bayaar.
Jamie Moore (Salford) v Ryan Rhodes (Sheffield)
12 x 3 European Light Middleweight Title
Reigning European champion Moore starts off busy from the first bell, keeping former two-time British light middleweight champion Rhodes on the back foot. Rhodes - having the shorter reach - just misses his target a few times with sweeping shots.
Moore dominates from centre of ring, while Rhodes struggles to settle in to this first round. The Sheffield man goes for the body of ‘Mooresy’ but Moore looks determined, ploughing through with more punches - landing a hard shot which rocks Rhodes’ head from side to side. More...

It was the rare domestic bout with far reaching and possibly world level implications last night at Bolton Arena in Bolton, England and the European light middle title clash between champion Jamie Moore and Ryan Rhodes lived up to all expectations.
Southpaw Moore took the initiative in the early going, advancing on his older opponent and scoring with single shots that caught the normally fleet-footed switch-hitter.
Rhodes handled the pressure and punches well as he began to get the timing of Moore's efforts and answer back with return fire.
As the first few rounds began to develop into the middle frames, the action began to heat up with both men enjoying success but Moore continued to control the action, adding energy sapping body shots to his mix of offense. More...

On Friday night, at the Seaburn Centre in Sunderland, England, Jason ‘2Smooth’ Booth made his second defence of the British super bantamweight title, which he won in April this year. The event - promoted by Frank Maloney - featured 12 contests.
Jason Booth (Nottingham) v Michael Hunter (Hartlepool)
12 x 3 British Super Bantamweight Title
Hunter takes centre of ring straight away keeping Booth edging around the perimeter, but Booth gets through the middle of Hunter's high guard within seconds.
Hunter tries for the body but Booth lets loose a decent left hook which lands to Hunter's right cheek. Hunter gets busy at the end of the round with uppercuts and hooks to the head. A good right lands but many are hitting the gloves and arms of Booth. More...

British super bantamweight champion Jason Booth put together yet another sterling performance in turning back the comeback hopes of Michael Hunter last night at the Seaburn Centre in Sunderland, England on a Frank Maloney promotion.
31 year old southpaw Hunter was attempting to recapture the glory days of 2004-2006, over which he held the British, Commonwealth and European titles before losing a vacant IBF title bid to sharp Canadian Steve Molitor.
The Hartlepool man started strong once the bell rang, pressuring Nottingham based Booth, also 31, with a high work rate and had some success when the champion was put upon the ropes. More...

Promoter Frank Maloney unexpectedly found star super middleweight prospect Darren Sutherland dead yesterday in Sutherland's home in Bromley, England.
Maloney, who also managed Sutherland, went to pick the boxer up for a news conference but found that Sutherland looked to have committed suicide by hanging. The 55 year old was subsequently taken to hospital for a suspected heart attack.
Sutherland had won a Bronze Medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and had won all four of his professional contests to date in dominating fashion.
The 27 year old originally from Dublin was well-liked outside the boxing ring, tremendously talented in it and expected to eventually contend for a world title.
The SaddoBoxing community extends its deepest sympathies to Darren Sutherland's family.
