None of the fighters that defeated Abraham, would defeat Monzon. Monzon would beat the hell out of Abraham. Force the referee to stop a one-sided beat down. Monzon by massacre.
Monzon with a dominant UD. I'm really not much if a fan of Abrahams style but I recognize that he was very solid defensively with that high guard and he had a very solid chin. All that said he is nowhere near a match for Monzon who would pile up points like crazy against the slow and plodding yet always dangerous Abraham. Abraham could punch like a mule but too bad for him he is in with the incredibly durable and skillful Monzon.
If you look at the way Carl Froch adjusted his style and boxed Abraham’s head off, you’d have to think it would a pretty routine nights work for Monzon. I think Abraham would see the final bell though, he was limited but tough.
That's the worst-case scenario. I wouldn't rule out a Monzon victory by stoppage - somewhere mid-to-late rounds.
Arthur Abraham has skill, is very tough maybe not Bad Bennie Briscoe tough, but he can hang in there with the fighters of his era. Carlos Monzon did hang in there, he began his pro career in 1963, and he retired as World Middleweight Champion after his July 30 1977 unanimous decision victory over Rodrigo Valdes of Colombia. Carlos ended his career with a record of 89-3-9, 61 KO's, had not lost a fight since Oct 9 1964, spanning 82 victories in a row. He was champion from 1970-1977, 14 title defenses. I see the bout as a tactical bout early, both looking for a weakness in the other. Monzon coming out firing out the left jab, countering to the head and body when Abraham misses. Arthur looks to land to the thin build of Carlos, who has a habit of pushing his adversaries away when they got close to him. I see Arthur's toughness during the fight, but the fight last the distance, he does take a lot of combinations, left jabs, and in round 15, he does take the Monzon right hand that sends him to the canvas for a mandatory eight count. Carlos takes a unanimous decision.
