Carlos Monzon 1975 vs Vito Antuofermo 1979?

Very interesting question Irene! I liked Vito Antuofermo, He was tough as nails and had the look of a fighter like the fighters of old and was always in great conditio and ready to fight always giving it his best. I remember when I was in the Navy an watching his fight with Marvin Hagler which wasw called a draw even though we all know that Hagler deserved the decision. Vito fought a very courageous fight and impressed me with his toughness against the clearly superior Hagler. That being said, Vito is not in the same league talent wise with the great Carlos Monzon! Monzon was built like a light heavyweight and had splendid boxing skills and a thunderous right hand. I will never forget watching Wide World of Sports when he took the middleweight title from Nino Benvenuti a very talented fighter in 1970 and I knew right away that he was special. Monzon was never knocked out in 100 career fights and went undefeated from a period in 1964 until his last fight as middleweight Champ in 1970 and is generally regarded as at least one of the top 3 greatest middleweight Champs in boxing history from nearly every boxing expert. Vito Antuofermo was Champ from 1979-80 and had a career mark of 50-7-2 with 21 kayo's and had wins over Hugo Corro, Bennie Briscoe, Emile Griffith and Denny Moyer. Carlos Monzon finished with a career mark of 87-3-9 with 59 kayo;s with wins over such fighters as Nino Benvenuti, Emile Griffith, Bennie Briscoe, Jean Claude Bouttier, Tom Bogs, Denny Moyer, and Rodrigo Valdez and many other recognized fighters having 14 sucessful title defenses as undisputed Champ. Here is how I see this fight going:

The Fight

Monzon would come out firing that jab of his right away with the smaller but tough Antuofermo attempting to slip it and work his way inside. Vito would land some good body shots but for the most part would get tied up when he did. Monzon would tag Antuofermo with jab after jab and some well timed right hands and Vito's face would start to resemble a tomato by the 5th round as Monzon would open up cuts around his eyes. In round 7 Monzon would floor Vito with a crashing right hand. Vito would get to his feet but in no condition to continue as the referee halts the fight.

sturdy question. Many could rank Monzon by fact the proper middleweight champion of all time and for sturdy reason. He ought to container, ought to punch, had an incredible protection, an iron chin, and a fierce selection to win. He had 89 wins with in basic terms 3 losses and did no longer lose a combat for on the topic of the final 8 years or so of his profession or some thing like that. He replaced into tall (approximately 6ft) for a middleweight and used his attain to his benefit. Then he could degree you and hit you with pulverizing suited hands which he often timed completely. Bernard Hopkins is likewise an incredible fighter and however he's nicely universal as you mentioned for his protecting prowess, he could additionally bang. Hopkins additionally has an iron chin. i've got faith that Monzon could keep Hopkins at bay along with his large jab for lots of the combat . Hopkins could have moments whilst he could land some sturdy photographs yet could on no account heavily have the bigger and better Monzon in issue. Monzon could seize Hopkins with some large suited hands that would wobble him yet Hopkins could stay to tell the tale making use of that large protection and stream of his. After 15 rounds of a sturdy combat, Monzon is asserted the winner by making use of unanimous selection.

Monzon and it's not even close.

The Big Argentinian was a complete fighter with a very big punch, Vito, named the mosquito because of his fast hands and low punching power, would be brave but would take a serious beating.
