Frank Bruno v 1915 Jack Johnson, Havana, Cuba

Replace Jess Willard with any version of Bruno you like.
45 rounds. Queensberry rules. Havana racecourse, under the July sun.

How does the fight go ?

 

Bruno early or Johnson late, probably Johnson

 

When you say "late" whereabouts do you mean ?

(Remember this is a 45 rounder : the 23rd round is mid-way)

 

I think Johnson might stop Bruno around the 9th.Jack was in front after 22rds with Willard, he just could not stop him, Bruno was not as durable as Jess.

 

Yeah, I don't see Bruno lasting beyond the 10th or 11th, even with a fat 37 year old Johnson.

 

Well it completely depends what type of pace the fight takes, but Bruno is just too tense, explosive but tense, his jaw will start gasping for air before the relaxed Johnson

 

Well, that's two of us ,we had better stand back to back now, ready for the" slings and arrows of outrageous fortune", that will surely be launched our way.

 

Not sure that's true

 

Bruno by 1st round kayo. He hits way harder than Frazier. Also, Johnson had gout often. He wouldn't be able to get away without excruciating pain and Bruno is too strong for him to clinch. He's no welterweight like Kaufman!

 

I am.

 

Kaufmann was a 6' 1" 205lbs lightweight.

 

ive got plane tikkets, mackvey...:twisted:

 

Not sure about Bruno hitting harder than Frazier.

 

That's the part of my comment you chose to argue? I put much easier battles to be chosen in there, Steve.

 

even the version of jonhson who fought in the 30s would kick the ass of the very best bruno
