Just watching the preview on Ringside now....looking forward to it, though I'm hoping for a replay later on as I'll be working at that time on a Sunday morning. I don't think you'll come across a hungrier challenger than Munroe, and that can often overcome a complacent champion.
Heart says Munroe, head says Nishikoia.
Likewise.Quote:

Repeated at 3pm and 6.30pm on Sky Sports 3 though if not.
Thanks for the heads up, I almost forgot about this matchup.
As much as I like Munroe, I think Nishioka might well prove a different class. I really hope I'm wrong.
Who thinks the Binman has a chance? He's a 5/2 shot. I don't think he does anything particularly well but he is certainly strong for this weight (looks massive to me).
Nishioka is quicker, slicker and has a serious lefthand on him.
I don't think Munroe can outbox him so needs a stoppage, however, he's not a puncher. Nishioka might be a decent bet :-\

I might leave this as I wan't to really cheer for Munroe, I think it will depend how much I am down for the weekend on Saturday night. ;D
Come on Rendall!
What a result though if he can go all that way and win the world title. Will be quite an achievment.
Just getting this far in his career for a bin man is achievment enough

I just dont see it, rendall has an excellent heart, a decent enough amount of power and very good footwork. But he isnt world level and especially early doors he is always there to be hit.
I see it ending around 9-10
4/9 with Hills.
I HATE betting against the people I want to win but
sentimentality is a fast track to the poorhouse. Fact.
munroe will be too big for him, expect him to do a lot of leaning and close work to the body in the first couple
Nishioka will get tired by about the 3rd and munroe will start stepping off a bit and landing, he'll knock him out by the 8th

Munroe is a very slow starter I just cen't see him doing enough he mite rally late and win a few rounds, but no way he is winning this on points with his style.
Is Munroe even a full inch taller? More important question.........have you ever seen Nishioka before?Quote:

his knockout ratio aint that bad for a super bantamweight even when he upped the levels
it will be the fight of his life, we dont have long to wait to see if my prediction comes true :)
