Salem Bouaita's corner have pulled him out at the end of the round, and Munroe's work has paid dividends, and Bouaita was never in the same class as the hard punching Monroe.

8 weeks after Munroe's title victory over Martinez, he makes a successful first defence.

There were some bizarre machinations in the french corner there, with Bouaita laughing at his corner during rounds, and arguing between the rounds. something was amiss, and the official explanation is that Bouaita had an injured arm.

Yeah right.

Great win for rendall.
