Early rounds favour Bert , Bonevana was hittable and Cooper could crack. But over 12 or 15 I'd lean towards Oscar . His stamina and experience against elite heavyweight s and incredible toughness would likely wear Cooper down in a battle. Bonevana was accustomed to surviving wars with the best of his era.
I've just been watching a bunch of music videos and my brain interpreted that as "Alice Cooper vs Bonavena" and I thought, damn, Oscar's got this! But Bert? Ehhh, that's a difficult assignment. Bring in the Cooper that had that war with Mercer and Bonavena might be in trouble. These guys should have gotten double pay for this one. Compare Ray's face at the start of the fight to the end of it. He earned every red cent: This content is protected
If Bert Cooper is in decent condition I'll take him to pull a mild upset. That short inside right hand would have Ringo buzzing.
He knocks Cooper out, even Bonavena would beat him, Cooper was a dangerous test, not he's lost to too many guys to be favored here
