    I don’t know. On One hand you had Corrie who was bigger with faster hands, lots of power and a south paw stance. On the other you had Bonavena who had better stamina, sturdier chin and a relentless inside attack. Sanders would be better off getting Oscar out of there before the late rounds of the fight but not sure that would happen . Bonavena was only stopped once and that was in the fifteenth round against Muhammad Ali and due to being decked three times. I have a feeling that the longer this goes the more Corrie tires and starts to get hit with shots to the body and head until he wears out and crumbles.

    I'd favor Sanders early. He absolutely overwhelmed Cooper, who was craftier and hit harder than Oscar.

    I'd favor Bonavena to grind him down. Sanders would be damn dangerous early tho, precarious times.

    you could be right though i would contend Bonavena was more durable than Cooper.
