Dunne Gets Lucky Escape.

Looks like Dunne won't have to take a beating off Rendall Munroe after all. I bet this story is just his way of saving face not fighting Munroe and saying that the WBA won't allow it.

How do you see a glass chinned hype job beating the most underrated fighter in Britain? Munroe would destroy most 122 boxers you'll see.

Same here. You can easily tell the unbiased people from how they feel so strongly about either Dunne or Munroe winning. No poster should be more than 60% confident that either fighter would win a fight between them

agreed good fight and one that should happen sooner rather than later.

this guy is probably tougher than munroe -poonsawat - and the thai has fought in world class before with good results, incl competitive loss to wlad sid and a thrilling win over cordoba
IF dunne is trying to swerve this fight, IF, then this is very poor. the thai is a worthy opponent with a win over cordoba, so it can easily be hyped up hopefulyl they can get it in ireland, which you'd think would be the case.
munroe seems to have an opportunity of his own so it's maybe up to him and his team to pursue the WBC title held by Japanese hard nut Nishioka.

I think Dunne would have a very easy passage against Munroe,who dos not have a good punch,sure he outpointed Kiko easily enough,dunne would be a very different matter no way could i see Munroe beat Dunne,but it would be a very boring fight

Munroe is overrated imo any time ive seen him fight hes looked decent enough but no world beater as some claim him to be.

60-40 Dunne is how I have it, too.

I think that Dunne's people should grab him a couple of defences of the title in the way they did when he won the European before sticking him in with any big time players. The Thai Poonsawat appears solid yet unspectacular, plus he supposed to be the mandatory?
Get Dunne in with him at the O2. Poonsawat has already said he has no problem travelling. Then look at Munroe as an opponent.

Lets see if Dunne gets past Poonsawat first. The Thai may not be "spectacular" but neither is he. This fight will probably be more entertaining than a bout against Munroe.

You cannot be taken seriously on this forum.You come out with this crap about Dunne ducking Munroe in a thread which includes a link which states that Dunne has no choice but to fight Poonsawat K or vacate the belt

Nice on genius, do you think there is a worldwide conspiracy against Munroe which the WBA are in on?It is a lucky escape for Munroe if anything.

You criticize him for making the comment and then make an inane comment back, of equal stupidity.

I am pointing out that if his stupid comment had any validity, it would be Munroe who has had a lucky escape.I am critcising him for implying that Dunne fighting his mandatory is a ploy to duck Munroe.Is that ok with you Lirva

?!

Munroe is a nice chap and a fair boxer but he's not in Dunnes class. Seriously. He's a decent fighter but the benificiery of a very poor Euro scene. Rendall wouldn't have had a look in Vs Benichou, Oliver, Belcastro, Krastev, Mullings, Brodie, Medjkoune etc, etc.... Dunne IMO is a very special talent. A little suspect round his whiskers but still a world class fighter. Rendall hasn't really been massively tested at Euro level yet- Martinez aside.

No Lirva you can't stand it when I constantly contradict your crap so you pretend you were making a different point.

Oisin is a good little fighter, very underrated in my opinion. People don't seem to realise that he had hardly any amateur experience and has given some good boxers like Kimbrough and Chavez Jr hard fights. Are you still fighting Jeff?
