Thought Towers could and maybe should've been stopped in the fifth, must've taken 20 shots without reply. If it was the visitor rather than the house fighter on the receiving end, I think he would've stepped in.SuperKevinHorlock said:LongsightM13 said:Was that you and the Wheelchair Soprano Crew slapping the youngsters into shape upstairs?SuperKevinHorlock said:What a strange night at the boxing ruined by the cut and all the warriors fighting in the crowd.
Thought Quigg was looking very good and I reckon Munroe is starting to slide but the cut put paid to that.
Shame for Ryan Rhodes thought he looked a class above all night but I had a rubbish view for the K/o punch.
Only caught the latter part of Martin Murray's bout mate, looked like he won handily enough against a game lad.
Yeah mate we were up in the cheap seats and it was bedlam, nasty way to end the night mate.
Some serious warriors up there funnily enough nobody wanted any trouble with the Wheelchair Soprano Crew. The security was awful some fat bloke(bigger than me) runs up the cycle track jumps into the seats and flattens someone yet the security were knowhere to be seen.
Martin Murray comfortable enough mate looked understandably rusty but you were right the French bloke was game to say the least.
The Towers fight looked like a battle between two fighters who will have very short careers!
What was that ref on? That fight could have been stopped on numerous occasions I dread to think what Price and Fury would do to Towers.
Shame about the cuts mate as Quigg looked good from where I was.

Hopefully get a rematch on soon.

Kev I know its different but watching it at home Munroe controlled the first round well. Second Quigg was on his bike didnt seem to me he wanted to trade after the first round and picked Munroe off. You see Frampton at ringside the lads a legend think the Martinez fight will be sorted soon as well.
The only bad thing I have to say about Munroe is he changed his ringwalk not happy love his old 1 with Jamming. Also his fans he brings to the fights are brilliant people. Always making noise non stop. Remember his fight in Dublin and he brought nearly 30 - 40 fans with him in there high vis jackects decent people who had a lot of good to say about Munroe.
Sorry leighton, but a large proportion of Munroe's fans were cunts. Three-pint warriors and sted heds in women's T-shirts and orange faces.leighton said:SuperKevinHorlock said:I know it's different watching a fight on TV to live but I am confident that Quigg is to fast for Munroe.

Spoke to a few people now and all told me that it was the Leicester fans who started the trouble inside, thinking their man had lost when the fight was stopped, but they largely came off second best.
Anyone know if there were any serious injuries?
There were then a few more skirmishes outside, though it was pissing down by then and rain is better than any copper.
I don't think they should be allowed to use that venue for boxing again. The security was feeble and the track made getting bouncers up there more difficult than it should have been.
I have a lot of time for both fighters bit I think Quigg would've won. Munroe is a great fighter but I think Quigg's speed, workrate and superior defence would have had Rendall breathing out of his arse in the final third of the fight, had it gone on that long.
Hope there is a rematch — at a better venue

When it kicked off in the crowd, I was sorely tempted to take advantage of the confusion and give him a slap on the back of the head, sleeping shitbag style
leighton, you're falling into your old trap again, where if you prefer one athlete (Frampton) then you automatically trash talk his rival (Quigg). We had this all before with Given and Hart.leighton said:Regarding a rematch Munroe will win it. Quigg isnt all that good. I would be interested in seeing who they get to fight him while they are waiting on Munroes cut to heal up. Frampton is off limits as he will be fighting Martinez. Hatton needs to put him in there with a test. I look over here and I would say a fight with Willie Big Bang Casey could be made and wouldnt be a major risk of a fight to take. Casey is game but if Quigg wants to go were he wants to be he should be beating Casey easy if it happens.

Just because you think one fella is better, it doesn't mean the other man is useless.

Good shout fella come on Leighton admit that Quigg isn't mediocre?

Dirty Harry said:Carson's in good nick and well up for it, could be dangerous here, Brook's a huge favourite according to the bookies, so much so I'd say it's a bit disrespectful to Carson, should be good.
