Wayne McCullough wrote:"I tried to get on the Ricky Hatton under card for this weekend but I was told there was no room on the card. Now, Munroe is calling me out in the press. I haven't had any contact with them or heard anything about it but I'd be more than happy to fight him. I'll fight him anywhere - be that in England, Ireland or the States. I'm ready, willing and able. I've been training away for the past few months. I've sparred twice a week for the past two weeks, so I'm sharp and ready to fight."
I think McCullough would have a decent chance against Munroe. I hope it comes off.

I think once you start going down levels it spells trouble. Munroe is fit and young and will probably rise to the challenge vs a smaller, older man. Don't really like these kind of fights.

Is Munroe really that much bigger than McCullough?

I heard through the grapevine that Mr McCullough outpriced himself for the Ricky Hatton undercard and what does he bring to the table.
When was the last time he fought he is just looking a few last paydays and why would Maloney make him and Munroe can he fight for the EBU Title. He is not in the ratings.
Does he really want the fight or does his wife need a new kitchen.

I'd really like to see McCullough take a warm up fight to see what he has got left before facing Munroe.

Had his prime at bantam & was never the same when he moved up.
Anyway, my main issue is that a former world class fighter is stepping down to Euro level. I thinki if anyone can raise their performance, it'll be Munroe who will see a great opportunity to make his name.
In the case of Witter v Lynes, the supposed better fighter looked like hell. I can see why Clinton Woods says he'll never go back down to British/Euro level after winning world title fights.
