I know very little about the Japanese fighter other than what is on www.boxrec.com but Monroe is hard working hard puncher fighter who will give 100%.

It's for the Super Bantamweight Championship, live from Japan on Sky Sports 2 at the unusual time of 10AM on Sunday morning.

Cant wait to see Rendal "take out the trash", see what i did there (for those that didnt, Rendal is a binman by day and to this day hasnt given up the job, they give him time off to train, then back at work after the fights, says even if he wins world title he'll go back to the bins.......legend!!!!)

Same as you Quartz know very little on the Japanese guy, but if Rendal works as he always done he's in with a good chance against anyone.

Have just stuck his opponents name in youtube and a few vids so gunna watch now.

Rendal will have to keep his hand up coz this guy can punch, thats for sure, only watched on clip so far.

I refuse to watch this fight because I think it will be rubbish!!!

I think you stop trash-talking the fight IHH. Both men have bin preparing for ages.

Good LDB, but the pun 'trash' had already been used by northbankbren!!! The rules of punning say you can't re-cycle old jokes and that's what you did - litterally!!!

So how was the fight? And did northbankbren's tip of a close and exciting battle come to fruition? Or was he just talking garbage again?

Sadly Rendal wasted his title opportunity. Was beaten easily on points, outclassed really.

Monroe gave it his all, won about three rounds, but the champion was accurate and powerful and had a good work rate. Importantly, he moved well and slipped punches.

He was just too sharp for Monroe, who is a good champ a European level.
