Welsh featherweight star Lee Selby took another step closer to becoming a world champ on Saturday night when he took just 6 rounds to stop season pro Rendall Munroe.
“Rendall is a quality operator but I had a nice rest after a hard year in 2013 and I felt fresh and back to my best,” said Selby.
“I was peppering him with a lot of shots and he wasn’t coming back, now and again he’d throw two shots and then cover up again. I caught him with a big shot at the end and it was game over.
“I am still learning and maybe I didn’t understand the importance of having a rest. I was constantly in the gym with four big fights but I had a good rest and it proved tonight that the rest has been good for me.
“I hope I can get out in April or May and back here again. The crowd was sensational, they were chanting my name and that is the stuff dreams are made of, I want more of it. I want to defend the belt against good European fighters and move towards a World title eliminator by the end of the year.”
