    Dubois fights the Bruno that gave Lewis fits. Who gets the W?

    Bruno edges because of heart. Truth be told they are a very similar model, Bruno is smarter and more technical but Dubois is a bit bigger and hits harder.

    Is Dubois really a bit bigger?

    Dubois is like 6'4 and 245 pounds. He's bigger but Bruno was like 10 pounds less

    It would be a shootout. I'd just back Bruno from the Lennox fight.

    People forget Bruno was actually winning the fight and outboxing Lennox before he got knocked out. No chance in hell Dubois betters Bruno's efforts against Lennox.

    Hi Buddy.
    Funny how we all view fighters from a different perspective, when I think of Bruno, the words " smart/technical" do not spring to mind, brave, yes, can't see what is technical about, left jab, followed by right cross, but you see him differently and I respect that.
    stay safe MF99, chat soon.
    Mike.

    For what it's worth, whilst Bruno's weight during his prime ranged from c.220lbs to 248lbs, in his autobiography he stated that he believed himself to be absolutely peak at around "16 and a half stone", which is 231lbs.

    I'd favour Bruno 60/40.
