Leon Spinks v Frank Bruno

The Spinks of 1978 against Bruno in his prime. Bruno would win this,as I can't see Leon avoiding Frank's punches in the first couple of rounds. ???

 

I think Leon has the chance to pull off the upset, seeing how motivated he was against Ali the first time out. But Bruno would make it hard.

 

Can you see Spinks evading enough of Frank's punches early on though ?

 

Leon could hit, had excellent hand speed, and Frank didn't exactly have Ali's chin. This would be similar to Leon's stoppage of Mercado.

 

Yeah, he has a very good shot.Plus, with him being psyched up, I think Frank wouldn't hurt him.

 

I remember being quite shocked when Gerrie Coetzee knocked out Leon in one. Maybe it was one of those once in a lifetime occurences.

 

That and a couple of other things.I thought for a few seconds, Leon would be alright, but Gerrie being Gerrie, doing his thing.
