    How does Bruno do against the younger of the Klitschkos?

    I give Bruno a fair chance of scoring the upset and knocking out Wladimir Klitschko especially early in the fight. I could also see Bruno doing well with his jab throughout pushing back Klitschko who would not lliking this at all causing him to loss his composure and become just as tired as Bruno as the fight goes on leading to a very close decision either way. But also I think there is a very good chance of Wladimir who is the more skilled and a very dangerous puncher himself scoring an early or late round knock out of Bruno.

    Bruno boxes his ears off. Too much heart as well. I think Wlad quits.

    Wlad is better at controlling the pace than Frank was but against Frank the first few rounds would exhaust the two of them because Frank will force it. Then it comes down to heart.

    Thing is , wlads holding and pushing down when inside wouldn't work too well against bruno due to his incredible strength. I could see bruno pushing him back a lot. Bruno was craftier on the inside then people realise and knew every trick in the book. Wasn't shy about fighting dirty either.

    I don't think bruno gasses in this one as Wlad isn't active enough and I see bruno outboxing wlad to a points victory

    Bruno outjabs Wlad and repeatedly scores with straight right hands down the pipe.
    I see Bruno giving Wlad a lot of trouble. Bruno had an elite jab, would neutralize
    Wlad's. Great matchup, both freeze up while hurt. If Bruno doesn't stop Wlad in 6,
    Frank gassess and gets stopped on his feet.

    Wlad ices him. Whether its early or late is the real question.

    Bruno was never that top notch fight Vlad was or is. Bruno would always lose by mid round knockout.
