    Did McCall just not show up? Did Frank just want it more?

    I think a big part of it was the pro Bruno crowd that night. That energy I think definitely helped Frank. So yes, Bruno did want it more.

    McCall said that the huge right hand Bruno landed in the first round made him very wary of him.
    But I think he also wasn't fired up.

    A very smart guy around Bruno said he was a lot better then his record would suggest… he lacked total confidence, it was all that was missing, he got tight he’d shut down he didn’t have a tiger in him.

    If McCall showed up for that one he’d have KO’d Bruno, McCall seemingly only showed up maybe once or twice in his career…
