I hope so.

He is prob more qualified than the recent African challangers seen over here.
The BBBoC are also in charge of the Commonwealth council, I wonder how they justify it

That guy probably has more fights than what his record on boxrec would indicate. But to an extent I agree that it could be a poor match-up. The thing is with these unknown Africans you just don't know - one minute you get a Michael Kizza/Samuel Kebede (both collapsed in one round from what looked like cuffing shots vs Arthur & Harrison), the next a dangerman like Tshifa Munyai.

Here's a thought - how about Munyai-Munroe? That would be a good fight - Battle of the Munsters, only one Munber One, Muns on the Run....easy sell!(I really need to lay off the high energy drinks).

I agree, there is probably a lot of wholes in his record - but shouldnt FightFax have the full record.

Still its a poor match up.

Horrible, absolutely horrible. The Commonwealth title is a joke now.

That Munroe/McCullough thread doesn't look so ridiculous now.

This cant be right, but if it is Monroe has an easy Win... I take inn what you 2 have wrote BUT and its a BIG BUT Netty has LOST to Lante Addy who Booth beat easy for the Bantam weight Commonwealth Title, and Drew with Isaac Quaye who Don Broadhurst beat Easy for the S-fly weight Commonwealth Title....
