Corrie Sanders vs. Frank Bruno

It would be very comptetive Imo, but Bruno has the chin to stand up to Sanders best shots, but not vice versa. I think Bruno eventually lands da smash in the 9th or 10th for the K.O.

 

Sanders blitzes Bruno in the first 4 or gets stopped in 8th. Depends partially on Bruno's mental state and Sanders' conditioning. I'd favor Sanders though.

 

Yes , it could really go either way , even if Bruno is at his best "mental" state and Sanders not at his best conditioning .

 

I don't think Sanders would be able to blitz Bruno. Frank's energy levels and power would be a pretty strong deterrent early. Bruno inside seven rounds for me.

 

Different levels. It was late that Bruno's Herculean physique gave him problems. His jab would cause Sanders all sorts of problems.

 

Very intriguing match.

Bruno used to run out of steam late, as did sanders. Overall i pick Bruno because he stunned tyson in the first round, put a decent effort against lewis and he won the title.

WOuld be quite an entertaining fight though

 

As long as Bruno had it drilled into his psyche pre fight, this is an easy fight for The Bomber. Bruno to bludgeon Sanders to defeat, inside five.

 

Both guys were kind of inconsistent, Sanders especially, so it's hard to tell how the fight would play out. I'd give Sanders the edge in the early rounds, and wouldn't be surprised to see him stagger Bruno. But I see Bruno's consistent steampole jab making its mark after a few rounds and that big overhand right hurting Sanders and stopping him in the middel rounds, similar to the Rahman fight.

 

Sanders has a chance if he lands first and takes Bruno out in the first 1-3 rounds, if Bruno gets his jab off first though, which he did against nearly everyone he probably bosses Sanders and stops him mid rounds. If Sanders hurts Bruno but can't take him out he loses later rounds. Sanders problem was his conditioning really

 

I like Bruno .. he tended to run out of gas late ... early he was very tough ... he had the jab and skills to keep the explosive but poorly conditioned Sanders off him till Corrie lost steam ... still, an interesting fight as Corrie could catcn him early and freeze him up ...

 

Could go either way, but i'm guessing Bruno by late TKO.

Sanders had stamina issues.

 

Stylistically it would be an interesting matchup. Sanders' south paw style and fast hands against Bruno's jab and right cross.. Both were huge bangers to say the least and of comparable size, with Bruno being the better conditioned in most instances. Both guys took punches from hard hitters, but neither had long term staying power. I think Bruno competed against the elite on a few more occasions, gutted out a win over the distance against a peak McCall when he was past it, overall encountered better fighters. A fun and crowd pleasing fight for however long it lasted with both men having a chance to win, but I'd probably favor Bruno.

 

Yet Bruno could go 15 rounds in his sleep...

 

I think that Bruno's busy and heavy jab controls this one; not necessarily in the sense of landing it, but in the sense of neutralising Sanders' work. Sanders is too lazy to put serious pressure on Bruno and he's not going to beat Bruno based on stamina.

I can see this as being similar to Coetzee-Bruno, with Bruno winning in a decisive way that doesn't do justice to how good Sanders actually was. Obviously, Sanders has a MAJOR punchers' chance.
