Reigining Welterweight Champion Jose Napoles attempts to win the Middlweight Crown from Champion Carlos Monzon who is on his 9th defence of his Title and in his reign has beat such fighters like Nino Benvenuti, Emile Griffith, and Bennie Briscoe. This is a big ask of Napoles as Monzon is the much bigger man and has huge advantages over the smaller Napoles.
Napoles hasn't suffered defeat in 3 years, and is in his second reign of his Welterweight Title. Napoles goes into the fight with a 75-5 record, while Monzon carries a 81-3-9 record.
