Good solid fighter, just not good enough to be a champion. Dynamite power but a bit clumsy delivering it which cost him big against top opponents. Tended to fade late and froze when hurt and stopped defending himself. One of my favorites. I have most of his fights on DVD.

He's a British fighter I could enjoy. Solid fighter but seemed to fade fairly early.
I thought he was going to KO Tyson in their first meeting, he was definitely winning some rounds then he just fell apart.

Originally posted by CarlosG815 View PostAh, yeah that was the finish. I just watched it again and the turning point, to me, was the left hook with 1:15 to go in the round. Bruno was toast after it landed. He was on the ropes 30 seconds later and the fight was over shortly after.
