Warrington is class and will do really well, he's well schooled, powerful and in a very good gym.

Got to feel for the guy. He beat some quality opponents during his career.

No, they had Smith and Eggington on first.

Best of luck to Munroe post boxing. Not nice seeing a guy getting upset like that.

He certainly made the most of what he had.

Hopefully Munroe stays retired this time.

Respect to Munroe, he was past his best but it's hard mentally to leave boxing behind...

Reminds me a lot of seeing Benn announce his retirement after the Malinga fight and welling up in the ring. I think in boxing far too many guys carry on for too long because of how addictive the buzz of boxing professionally must be.

I imagine for all sportsmen it's like that as you're still young really when you retire but your body just hasnt got it anymore.

I think also maybe it's because they dont really have anything to fall into when they retire either.

Just hope that Munroe doesnt hit the bottle or anything. He looked pretty devastated there.

Also the problem of not knowing what to do afterwards, a lot of lads come from rough backgrounds and lack the qualifications and experience to get a job afterwards, not knowing how you're going to pay the bills anymore must be hard, I know they wouldn't give Rendall his old job back on the bins, so now he'll have to find a new line of work, hopefully he sticks around the game.

I think most fighters will have that sort of moment after they retire, it just hit Munroe at that point that his career was over, I'm sure it's sunk in for others a bit later and the tears have come in the changing room or at home.

Why's that? Is it because his boxing was getting in the way of his work?

He stopped to go full time, but was told that after he retired he could have his job back, he did retire after he lost to Quigg, but when he went to get the job back, was told that budget cuts meant it wasn't possible, couple of weeks later a comeback was announced.

Ah fornicating hell. That's shitty

Jason shinfield told Munroe at the end of the sixth he had won that round, then he pulled him out at the end of the seventh!
Didn't even give him a talking too and tell him to go out and give it one last go.
Not that rendall would have won but it poor corner work imo.

Quigg up next. I will be glad to get rid of the bad taste that Quigg's last fight left in the mouth, a brutal one-sided beating dressed up as a title fight.

Rendall didnt look that fussed though.

Munyai's come in short notice, but he's been in the country for a couple of months, sparring Martin Ward and is now based here, Quigg will have to be on his game to avoid an upset.

Munroe had some excellent wins, Martinez and battered Terrazas to the body and stopped him.
The most memorable for me was watching him live in Japan. He got outclassed and took a shellacking but Nishioka couldn't get him out of there. That night took it all away from Rendall for me.

Callum Smith stopped Francois Bastient in 3 then Sam Eggington outpointed William Warburton over 6(shut-out)

Smith put Bastient down with a wicked right uppercut to the body as Francois came steaming in,he got up but his corner threw in the towel,good call as Bastient crumpled to his knees after it was stopped
