if it goes to decision, sylvia would get it. if sylvia makes a mistake and gets taken down or if he gets tired in the later round and loses some pop on his jab, monson will submit him on the ground. the height differential is substantial and, as evidenced in the pe de pano fight, monson can't really get started against a larger fighter with a jab.
all this talk of monson/sylvia will be for naught if he loses at 61, though.
