Norris anvil chin against the heavy-handed TRUE middle weight champ... Does Norris get KO`d during the refs instructions ???
The Junior Middleweight division was a perfect division for Norris. He was too big to be a Welterweight and his chin was too shaky to be a Middleweight. Most likely Monzon would knock him out under 8.
Prime Norris is a massively underrated boxer and would be Monzon's biggest challenge out of anyone he faced. Norris has massive speed and athletic advantages, Monzon is bigger and stronger. Monzon probably imposes his will late after being outboxed early and made to look foolish and slow at times
Monzon's opponents always took the first couple of rounds..Carlos never scored a 1 round ko...and few ko's in the 2nd. He'd give up the first couple of rounds and submit Norris to a onesided, cruel beating until the ko comes in round 7.
I would even go farther than that Powerpuncher and pick an upset Monzon u must remember, had notoriously slow hands. Terry would exploit that weakness,, forcing Monzon to take more chances and become more of the pursuer than he'd like to Terry's trigger fast hands would allow him to beat Monzon to the punch repeatedly, frustrating him. peppering him with jabs, hooks N crosses, along with short spurts to the inside I'm talking tortoise vs hare in this fight Terry's deliveries would take place before Monzon could react. monzon, who's reflexes are much slower than Terry's, would then go all out for a knockout only to get tied up by Terry Terry was ten times the boxer Tony Licata was. believe me, it would be a completely different outcome remember, if Terry could outbox Sugar, he would most assuredly outbox Monzon size N height not a factor
One of the greatest middles with tremendous knockout power and Norris will last against him ?? This is a guy who got KO`d numerous times. It will only take one clean one from King Carlos to put Terrified Norris to sleep... I mean Norris lokked cute and slick against Jakson,until ... You get the picture... With a chin like his, `he can run but he can`t hide` ...
