Rendall Munroe

[josco]

Noticed that Rendall was close to lightweight in his comeback fight (pretty emphatic victory) - does anyone what weight he will be campaigning at in future?

He said he will be campaigning at lightweight. He was always a massive superbantam, but bizarrely a couple of years ago he was talking about going down to bantam!

Think I heard on Sky that he was coming back at Lightweight

His big assets were size and strength at super bantam. He will get bombed at British title level.

I'm not sure; if he really boiled down he would have been at 70% of his best. There are boxers that do better with a rise in weight, the thing is keeping him busy; he's not happy waiting about etc etc, he wants to get on. His manager/promoter should get in gear now; I think he'll do well.

[tear up]

He'd do we'll at super feather weight

You could be right Palooka.

This is the classic boxers mentality - "if I am strong at this weight, then if I move down then I will be even stronger compared to my opponents" - which is not always the case, sometimes the boxer could be stronger by moving up a weight.

I am not surprised he is moving up in weight as he always looked ripped without much to spare, but am surprised that he is looking to move up 3 weight divisions in one go (maybe this indicates how difficult it was for him to make super bantam ?).

I wonder what weight he walks around at ?

I heard once that he was at least 11 stone and still pretty lean FWIW

[palooka]

Vinny Paz jumped a few divisions and I thought he was crazy (ok he was pretty crazy) but he did really well; I don't imagine Rendall will do as well but hope he gets the chance to prove a point.

[polecateddy]

Crolla or Matthews beats him, and he retires again.

[magnus]

Selby is a bit short for potential British opponents, if he's prepared to make Feather...

[Looking On]

I saw him at an unlicensed show in leicester (as a spectator of course)
and he looked huge considering the weight he was boxing at , but still looked in shape to me , id say 11 stone was probably not far off counter puncher
