Bonavena was very tough and could cause problems for Cooney, but with his defence he wouldn't avoid Cooney's power. Cooney by KO in the mid rounds.

Cooney throws everything at Bonavena for the first 8 rounds but gets tired - and Oscar takes him out with body shots in the last couple of rounds

Edit - Assuming it's a 15 rounder. Any other distance, Cooney holds on to win on points.

Yeah, I don't see a mid Rd Cooney stoppage being likely. If he stopped him it would be early.
