WBC Bantamweight title, on Sky Sports now. Set to start shortly.
Can't see Munroe winning in Japan to be honest - reckon he'll lose by a unnanimous decision.
If anyone needs a stream, pm me or can I post it here?

Shit forgot bout this!
Cheers for the reminder!
He's just coming into the ring now.
Munroe is winning.:)
Nishioka looks sharp though, very accurate. Will he remain this way later on?
I missed the first two rounds. How did he do?
good fight. If Munroe can keep blockin/taking the lefthand he might overpower him late here
Maybe I am bias but thought Munroe won at least one of them. He can win this, other guy looks tired.Quote:

spoke too soon, bad 5th.
Munroe done nothing since he was wobbled. Good chin to stay in it
Got this even after six. 57-57.
Nishi's body shots are slowing munroe.
Body shots looked a bit painful. Fuck me. :-\
have to log off boy wants the computer, bloody kids. :mad:
MUnroe totally outclassed since the 4th. He ain't a puncher so needs miracle
Got Munroe losing the last four rounds, two behind now.
Had money before hand on a Nishioka UD before hand but really wanna see Munroe winning - can't see it, though. :-\
I got money on the stoppage. Either way.
Koppas, one of us are winning money. Cert Nishioka wins a UD if he don't stop him
Nishioka is landing those body punches EVERY time. Great accuracy.
I have it 117 - 111 to Nishioka.
9-3 on my scorecard for the champ. Those body shots were accurate from nishioka.
Great effort by Munroe but just came a little short on the world stage. As mentioned on here before, the accurary by Nishioka was unreal. He just couldn't miss with those body shots but respect to Munroe, never took a count once where I'm sure many others would've.
I only had Munroe winning two of the first four rounds but reckon one of those could have gone either way.
Well done for going the distance in the end.
Agreed.Quote:

Me too. I had Munroe winning one round (think it was the 3rd).Quote:

Jesus Chavez is on now, looks quite fat these days. Haven't seen him for a couple of years!!
I thought the Jap would get a home decision whether he deserved it or not. He actually turned out to be a good fighter and hurt Munroe afew times towards the end. The champ should venture away from home and test his skills against the best
To be honest though mate who would trouble him in that division? Molitor for me would get battered off this guy. Maybe Wilfredo Vazquez jr could cause some trouble but I'm not sure about him yet. Jorge Arce isn't the fighter he was since the Darchinyan fight!!Quote:

What you mean like when he KO'd Jhonny Gonzalez in Mexico? ;DQuote:

Very brave effort from Munroe, and I thought the 119-109 scores were fairly harsh to be honest. After six, I was really expecting Munroe to kick on and start pushing forward, cutting the ring off and getting in close on Nishioka, it just didn't seem to happen. Nishioka was slipping nicely though, and some of those body shots were totally sickening.
Looking at the top 10 in the division though, I definitely think Munroe deserves to be up there, and probably went up against the toughest of the champions. I've no doubt Munroe will get another shot at a title.
Felt sorry for him leaving in tears at the end of it, but I'm sure he'll be back.
I think Maloney win or loose was looking at fighting Molitar which would be a cracking fight, both fighters com on strong in the last few rounds I would give the edge to Molitar but decent fight if can be made.Quote:
