Munroe v Nishioka Live on sky this sunday 10 am

[superheavyrhun]

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.

I hope I can wake up for it...seems doubtful.
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

Is he still 4/9? When I first saw the odds I thought that was very generous like you say Munroe couldn't knock a wank out and for him to go over to Japan and win a decision he would have to dish out a serious beating.

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.

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

he needs to turn it into a slugfest early doors and hope that he lands with enough venom to actually put nishioka on the back foot for the rest of the night

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

[Fenster]

4/9 with Hills.

I HATE betting against the people I want to win but

sentimentality is a fast track to the poorhouse. Fact.

[erics44]

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
