    Two men who gave Marvin Hagler a fit in their first fight. 15 rounds.

    Even as the forums Monroe advocate I feel he would be a decided underdog. He beat Hagler pre prime while in his own...however over 10 rounds he might do it and I might pick him. In 15 I could see Monroe leading going into the double digit rounds, but Antuofermo makes it ugly and rough and either inches ahead to take a decision or stops Monroe late. Hard to guess how Monroe would fare over the championship distance. As much as I want to pick him I imagine Vito takes it.

    Your reply was the one I was most hoping to see, if you said Vito wins then I guess that shuts down the thread lmao

    TBF over 10 I think it is a good possibility, but he never made it to this stage, and as much as I hate to say it, there is probably a reason why.

    I pick Vito as well. I think where the fight would be held would play a part.

    I don't know if Tyrone Everett would have agreed with you after the Escalera fight.

    Took me a second to get where you were going with that, but your right. But I have often wondered if certain people knew about his out of ring activities.

    Yeah, it was. Sad thing is, there are probably more stories similar to that that we don't know about smh.

    Vito edges him out in a moderately close win by decision.
