[Roe]

Didn't even know his comeback was scheduled. He stopped Hungarian Laszlo Fekete in 1 round on Sunday in Leicester.

Fekete had a puncher's record - five off his six wins were by knock-out - but Munroe was too big, too strong and hit too hard.

He walked his opponent down, then blasted the Hungarian to his knees with a left-right-left.

Fekete beat the count, but referee Rob Chalmers waved the fight off after just 101 seconds.

"My biggest fight was with the scales and stepping up in weight was definitely over due," said the 32-year-old, who scaled a career-heavy 9st 7lbs 6ozs.

"I retired because I was disappointed with the lack of opportunities I was getting. But I'm back and now it's all about having fun again."

Munroe attracted a sell-out crowd to the city-centre nightclub and could be back in action there in October.

"I leave who I'm fighting down to my management," he added. "But there's no reason why I can't bring a world title back to Leicester."

Good news i guess but does anyone else get a sense of delusion? He had his oppurtunity against quigg and if the goals to bring back a world title i worry he'll never retire

Moving all the way up to lightweight takes away virtually everything that made him a force to begin with. Even at featherweight he couldn't apply the same on-top style against Andy Morris (very good boxer, BTW), and, despite a spirited showing, was beaten comfortably enough.

Still, he could provide some entertaining nights on the domestic scene.

Would like to see Rendall retire, things are only going to get worse for him. He's had a fantastic career and looked over the hill against Quigg. That night in Japan & the constant struggle to make 126 really took its toll on Rendall.

He was talking about moving down to bantamweight not long ago.

What the fuck was he thinking?

 

[Chatty]

That should see him top ten in British rankings then.

That should see him top ten in British rankings then.

Again, @King Horse

 

[Luf]

if he can't get motivated for huge domestic showdowns against quigg his career is effectively over anyways.

Wish him all the best though.

Vindication.

I'm glad to hear that as I was expecting big things out of him a couple of years ago, and was rather crushed considering both times he's stepped up he was beaten. If he can find a weaker champion, I think he could to for a world title run, but until then, I don't think he has any business above the local or Euro level.
