After building an early lead, Bruno probably fades down the stretch against Vitali like he did with Lennox and Witherspoon. But, later in the fight. I will go with Vitali TKO 11. I think Bruno starches Wlad early just like Corey Sanders did.
I think Bruno could give Klitschko a tough go of it in the early rounds and with his power could potentially score a knock out, but I doubt it. After the early rounds which are competitive I think Klitschko with his activity will over whelm Bruno and once he gets him in trouble I'd look for Klitschko to finish off Bruno with a number of hard punches while Bruno is tired and hurt with his back against the ropes.
Bruno cuts him to pieces. He could outbox Lewis. But Bruno could implode at this level...vitali has a chance.
I think that Bruno has a very good chance in this match up. His boxing ability is underrated as he was out-boxing Witherspoon and Lewis in his title shot against them. The tall straight up style of Vitali would not be as effective against a long armed puncher like Bruno. In terms of power Bruno was the harder hitter and even though he would likely gas down the stretch he would have a decent chance of busting Vitali up before then to potentially score a TKO. Styles make fights and whereas a short powerhouse like Tyson would always give him nightmares a tall rangy fighter like Klitschko would find it difficult to put the same level of hurt on Bruno until much later into the fight when he would get tired.
i think Bruno would fair better than most of todays contenders and would give him a better chance at winning but i`d still say 60-40 in K2 favour.
Providing vitalli doesn't cut up ( bruno had an excellent ,hard jab , which if it hits the target enough could open up vitalis face ) , I see him stopping a tired bruno around the 10th
Chisora would last maybe 3 rounds against Frank. So Why would vitali have such an easy time with Bruno?
The problem Bruno has is whenever he fought a 'name' at or near his pomp, Frank was fighting two battles: His opponent and the self doubts in his own ability. There are parts of Bruno's career that show he could be a real test for Vitali but I doubt he would handle the pressure.
good points but vitali went life and death with an old sanders and Lewis in his swansong,..bruno would have relished both oppertunitys, its not like taking on Tyson or Lewis. even witherspon. vitaly established dominance slowly as the division became encumbered by less experienced manufactured prospects within the top tens. he took years out and picked up where he left off because the chalengers were so short on seasoning.
"Life and death with an Old Sanders...", that is a little far-fetched. Vitali got hit with some good punches, but overwhelmed Sanders by TKO 8. Bruno can't trade with Vitali, it would be a quicker ending than the Sanders fight.
