I thought Munroe was slightly fortunate tonight, if it was held in Italy Maludrottu would have cruised it, but I had it dead even after six, I thought Maludrottu had the best of it early on, and the last two rounds, with Munroe taking the majority of the middle rounds.

Fair play to him though, Munroe really gave it everything, though as much as I abhor agreeing with Jim Watt he was right in terms of Munroe taking the wrong tactics in to the fight.... when he wasn't withing six inches of Maludrottu pushing punches into his belly, he looked a lot better, catching Maludrottu with some better shots and troubling him.

Maloney reckons a world title shot could go to purse bids....I'm not sure if there's ever been a world title fight at the Harvey Hadden leisure centre!
