Frank Bruno vs Tommy Morrison

It would probably be a typical Bruno performance against a good opponent. Frank would start well, backing Tommy up behind his excellent jab for round after round, only to get caught late on & stopped. Morrison win by late stoppage.

 

Hate to say it cause love Frank, but I think Tommy stops him.
Morrison showed he could come back at times if hurt, where Frank never really did, every time he got badly rocked it was over.
I see Tommy, maybe behind and showing signs of damage, suddenly connecting and having Frank in trouble.
Morrison ko 6 maybe.

 

Morrison via Late Stoppage. Bruno starts off well, but begins to fade as Morrison's offense overwhelms him. Both fighters were chinny with stamina issues - but Morrison was a superior fighter with more tools in his arsenal. I also respect the fact that while both men were chinny, they weren't afraid to face big punchers - unlike Bowe, who was said to have an iron chin by many, but was never tested against a real puncher.

 

Well Morrison isn't quite on the same level as Witherspoon, Lewis, Tyson. And he isn't as durable as Bonecrusher Smith either.

The punches all those fighters above took Morrison wouldn't be able to take without being in serious trouble.

All in all this fight could go either way two glass cannons with big power it's a toss up in all honestly, but Bruno's extra reach/size/range might be more of a factor early on.

 

I tend to agree with most, re the the closeness of this bout.

Bruno should win. He had the ability to control Morrison with the Jab, defend against the right and set up his own rights to land his power - and Morrison wasn't all that defensively savvy.

That said, Morrison in the early going would likely be a problem. He fought at pace and with combinations and, if allowed inside, could create a bit of havoc (He was able to close the distance on Lewis a few times, albeit unable to create anything impactful, once there).

Moreover, Morrison's left-hook would be a critical weapon, and something Bruno especially would need to be mindful of.

Both carried game-changing power, the ability to land it, and each of them had average to weak chins (although, Bruno was tougher, in my opinion).

Too close to bet on unless one of them (preferably Bruno) opened as a big underdog to set up a value-for-money punt.

 

At the end of the day these non-event fights are all about individual opinions. That's what makes an open forum interesting. Nobody is wrong, nobody is right.

 

There was the Floyd Cummings fight.

 

I'm not saying I necessarily disagree with you that Morrison can't win, I think its pick em fight personally.

All I was saying though in response to your comment, is that Morrison isn't on same level as those guys nor is he as durable.

They all had to take punches from Bruno to get the W, the same type of punches I don't think a very chinny Morrison could take.

All in all its Bruno's right hand vs Morrison's left hook, it comes down to who hurts who first.
