I read the stories about monzon and he made floyd mayweather and other supposed wife beaters look like boy scouts, dude would savagely beat his pretty fragile and angelic lady so bad multiple times and get away with until one day he killed her
Monzón was tremendously popular throughout his career. During Monzon's fights, Argentina would stand still, cities had no traffic, TV sets and radios were tuned to the fight. While filming La Mary, he met famous Argentine actress and model Susana Giménez. They started a tumultuous relation, which led to Monzón's divorce. Since then, his glamorous and sometimes violent life was avidly followed by the media. He toured all of Latin America and Europe with Argentine and Italian models and actresses.
While still a champion, a darker side of Monzón would begin to emerge. In 1973, Monzón was shot in the leg by his wife,[12] requiring 7 hours of surgery to remove the bullet. In 1975, he began a very publicized romance with Susana Giménez; they had previously met in the 1974 thriller La Mary, directed by Daniel Tinayre, where the two played husband and wife. Monzón hated paparazzi who detailed his affairs. He went to Italy with Giménez to participate in a movie and started increasingly traveling with her to locations in Brazil and the rest of Latin America, letting himself be seen with her, though still married. He was accused of domestic violence and of beating paparazzi.
Soon the beatings he gave Giménez became public knowledge. Monzón was detained by the police repeatedly. Giménez also began wearing sunglasses more often, presumably to hide her bruises, and many times, paparazzi had to be hospitalized from the beatings suffered at the hands of Monzón, who had unpredictable violent outbreaks. During this period, Monzón divorced his wife.
Susana Giménez left him in 1978. After the breakup, Monzón's private life was fairly low key. In 1979, he met Uruguayan model Alicia Muñiz, with whom he had an on-and-off relation for many years. They eventually married and had a child together, Maximiliano Roque. But his alleged violent behavior continued. In 1988, while vacationing in the resort city of Mar del Plata, after a heated argument, he allegedly beat Muñiz, followed her to the balcony of their second floor apartment and, presumably after a physical fight, threw her off the balcony and jumped after her. According to the investigation performed later, he strangled her, picked her up and pushed her off the balcony, killing her, after which he followed her in the fall, injuring his shoulder. In 1989, he was found guilty of homicide. He received an 11-year prison sentence
