Anyone else fancy Monroe next weekend.

His last meaningful fight he did well against the WBC champ.

If he losses not much else for him?

Quigg is trained by Gallagher and all his fighter seem to be walking onto shots.

9/5 I am on so fill your boots IMO

And Ryan Rhodes will woop rabchenko arse showing Ricky up

I like his chances relative to the odds.

Definitely worth a play.

Munroe will grind him down and put it on him for the whole fight. Quigg aint got the power or know how to keep him off so i can either see Munroe stopping him late on or getting a decent points win.

Id like to see Rhodes win cos I think its a bit dodgy that his promoter is training the fighter in the opposite corner.

Munroe is tough and strong.

Tough fight for Quigg indeed.

Munroe should win comfortably esp if you look at quiggs performance vs Arthur. But you never know it should be a good un.

Judging Munroe on his last few showings, I'm not sure if the hunger is still there as much as it was going into his world title shot. He doesn't look the same fighter.

I've said for a long while people were concentrating on Quigg and Frampton too much and forgetting Rendall.

Munroe beats both AT THE MOMENT in my opinion.

Is this still for the "Interim" WBA title, not quite sure how it can be but remember that being announced and Boxrec seem to still think it is.

Tough fight to call for me, could see Quigg boxing his way into a lead by half way but it gets tough from there, have personally backed the draw at 33/1 early doors,
can't see anything other than a close fight for 8 rounds or so and then its dig deep time for both men.

I think it will be a close fight. But I think Munroe will do it, I think he will be well up for this one as he seems to (rightly in my opinion) feel hes been over looked in favour of Quigg and Frampton and so will take this chance to prove that he's still 'top dog'.

It very intriguing, Munroe has to be at the top of his game which he hasn't looked really since the World title fight. He also keeps thinking about moving down to Bantamweight, which gives you the impression he isn't satisfied with his own preperations for recent fights (or his own performances).

However, if Munroe is at the top of his game, then I feel he might have too much for Quigg at this stage. I cannot over look that Jamie Arthur fight, great comeback but Arthur, like Munroe is a strong fighter as opposed to a one punch KO artist. If anything, Munroe hits harder than Arthur.

Scott Quigg steps up against former world title challenger Rendall Munroe in a cracking domestic showdown slated for 12 rounds in Manchester this Saturday.
Ricky Hatton promotes.
Unbeaten Quigg, 24-0 (17), the reigning British super-bantamweight champion, has looked good in five hard-hitting years as a pro but climbed off the floor to stop Welshman Jamie Arthur last time out in February which raised a few eyebrows and suggests a work in progress.
In contrast southpaw Munroe boasts masses of top-flight experience, dominating the European scene prior to that world title challenge in Tokyo in October 2010 where he was outscored over 12 hard rounds by Japan's Toshiaki Nishioka.
Nine years the older man at 32, Munroe has won all three fights since. He never looks particularly brilliant but works hard and works hard for 12 rounds, having travelled the full championship distance eight times to date, whereas Quigg's record reads just once.
Nevertheless, St Helens middleweight Martin Murray showed what a young, hungry fighter can achieve against vast experience recently and I feel that Quigg does enough to snatch a close, possibly controversial decision.

I started thinking this would be fairly routine for Quigg, but once you actually started thinking about how the fight could turn out, most roads seemed to point to a Munroe victory. Really looking forward to this, the sort of fight we should be seeing far more of in this country. Best domestic fight since Bellew vs Cleverly and Mitchell vs Murray

Apparently Munroe was struggling to get fights at super bantam so he dropped down to get more opportunities. Seemed a bit mad to me as he's massive for his current division. Also, he might have found it difficult to get motivated against the nobodies Hatton has provided until now.

"Fed to Quigg"? Munroe will have to have slipped a lot for Quigg to beat him, in my opinion.

im not sure where my money lies, rendall is an old warhorse, if he is on his game he stops quigg down the straight.

kid galahad may well turn out to be the pick of the bunch, i love his movement and his silky skills.
