I feel sorry for Rendall he hasn't had the run of the green in his career. He's not big enough to fight at superfeather Selby looked massive in there compared to him. I can't see him doing anything at super feather not even at domestic level. He's in a catch 22 he is way below frampton and quigg at super bantam and Selby at superfeather. He's going to have to fight lesser opposition if he's to continue and the question is can he get himself motivated for it

Have to agree with you. I think he should have given up. He has given great entertainment over the years. He certainly won't die wondering.

Can he make a run for the British title at super bantam? Maybe step down a weight again?

Yeh shame for Rendall the way things turned out. It looks like his moment has gone and it's going to take a hell of an effort to get back in contention now. Can he drag himself back up from the bottom?

He's had a great career, did good things for his ability level and won the euro title so he's got loads to be proud of, but Selby did what he wanted with him, so if he can go back to super-bantam that looks like the only option. he had an attritional style at super-bantam, without real power, so he had even less at super-feather and didn't once make any impression at all on Selby.

The fight was at featherweight not super feather. Munroe was a massive super ban and in his prime he wud hav given frampton and quigg a run for their money so their move up to feather isn't that massive. Their r still good fights at domestic level for him at feather walsh warrington simpson.

I think he ought to carry on; he didn't get hurt v Selby and though he'll not get to the very top he is a fit and strong and very experienced boxer; I hope he keeps on and earns some decent dough - he wouldn't have won last weekend but he didn't ought to have been stopped; he's a good fighter and seems a decent man, fair play to him.

He did look small compared to Selby but so do most.. I think it's a hard one he's a big Super Bantam but a relatively small featherweight.. I think he would get hurt against some of the bigger lads a super feather.. But at feather I think he can do ok at domestic level... Is that what a previous world title challenger want to compete at?? I think Ryan Walsh, Josh Warrington and John Simpson would win quite comfortably.

Calm down! He was never out as long as people make out. Quigg was better than him, that was the problem in my opinion.

I don't think that's why he'll continue to box.i think he knows his time has passed at getting to the top. if he can make a few pound fighting up and comers to test where there at so be it. 1 fight he'll make more than a bin man in a year. so what would you do? he's experienced enough at a good level at the minute not to get hurt unfortunately he's never had that natural talent to equal his dedication to take him to that next level.

Maloney did well with him to guide him to the euro title and in his defences. What did Hatton do for him? nothing, just blagged his head and then served him up to Quigg.

Cannot see Munroe getting back to the top. Then again Enzo Mac denies this logic.......
