Rendall Munroe's hard-fought sixth European super-bantamweight title defence was a cracker. The Sardinian challenger, Simone Maludrottu, gave almost as well as he got with the cleaner punches landed on the break, although he threw less. There were more than a couple of rounds that were close to call, certainly more than two of the judges scorecards of 116-112 suggested. But the champion deserved the nod, showing sheer determination as he piled on the pressure against the ropes and the two men fought at an incredible pace through the 12 rounds. [details]
