    I’d favor Bruno but not sure how it ends

    Bruno knocks him out. If David Izon and Kirk Johnson could stop Savarese then so can Frank.

    Savarese was just the sort of fringe contender Bruno used to look sensational against, like Anders Ecklund or Pierre Coetzer. It's not like Lou's got a big wallop to get Bruno's attention. He was a swarmer and a pretty average one.

    Bruno, quickly and in spectacular fashion ad the British press going hysterical.

    Bruno, without too much trouble and very convincingly.

    Bruno clubs and rabbit punches Lou into blancmange in about 3 rounds. Beats him like a ginger step child

    Frank would get him out quickly imo.
    I can see him chucking one of those booming right hands and putting him down fast.
    Bruno ko 1

    Because Tyson was not a fringe contender but an elite Fighter. Curious question.
