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.
