Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
How's he even managing thinking about dropping more weight? He doesn't look like he could lose any more weight if he tried.

Wow. Didnt see that one coming. I thought he struggled at SBW. BW is a weaker division but big ask to get there.
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
If by any chance Rendell is struggling at the weight. The pace that Jamie fights at will show him up.

Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
To be honest, i didn't see that coming. But i don't think he'll struggle to make bantamweight as he's on-weight for super-bantam anything up to two weeks before. But time will tell, i suppose.

Doesn't he fancy Scott Quigg then?
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
A surprising decision, he always seemed to be big at Super Bantam and able to use his size advantages. I'm unsure what the motivation behind this is.
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
hell b the bigest bantam weight and mcdonnell will bust him up with the pace the guy a world beater and is going to win a world title loved watchin him against hall 
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
I thought if anything he'd step up to feather again, not drop down as he is a huge super-bantam. Clearly Hatton doesn't want him and Quigg in the same weight class, so this is the result, Munroe hasn't looked brilliant since he moved to Hatton, it will be interesting to see how this drop in weight goes.
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
Suprised, and I don't think a good move. Munroe needs to look at the IBF Super Bantam title - Hatton can focus on Quigg after delivering Munroe that.
He was a bigish Feather, massive at Super Bantam - will be dead at Bantamweight. Even if he does make the weight okay - I fear he will be too slow at the weight.

Josh wale would be a good test for him at bantamweight i dont think he would cope with joshes workrate and pressure. I really cant understand why hes coming down a weight at this stage of his career if he dont struggle making weight why does he train in sweat suits to even make super bantam ?
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
having read the wbo super bantam weight belt vacante would of thought mr hatton could get monroe for that after after all he boxed and did well against the best super bantam in the world
so stay were thee r mr monroe ha 
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
this sounds ridiculous. if he's changing weights, he should surely be moving up, not down.
is he planning on blasting out some smaller guys?

Last night Victor Terraz beat Fernando Montiel for the WBC Silver title. Terraz had previously been stopped in nine by Munroe. Sod's law!

That result makes him moving down in weight even mire strange. I really like Munroe and hope he does well. I am of the opinon that his trainer is terrible. I have never heard him give good advice in the corner, he is always desperate to get his big puss on camera after a fight, smiling like a loon however the fight has went.
The sooner Munroe gets to a trainer who can maximize his strengths and provide proper gameplans the better.
I think Quigg and McDonnel beat him.
Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
good point. munroe beat a good fighter. but munroe does seem to have hit a wall, because even if he beat terrazas again, he'd have to face nishioka, who hammered and outclassed munroe.black panther wrote:Last night Victor Terraz beat Fernando Montiel for the WBC Silver title.

Re: Munroe drops to bantam, goes after Jamie McDonnell
Lets see if he can punch at bantam
i thought he was big and struggled to make super bantam?
if he can punch, with his good chin and strength I can see him winning a world title
