    Byrd would be unable to get any offense going against Bruno's upright jabbing style.Completely the wrong kind of fighter to take advantage of Bruno's glaring flaws.

    Good points and Bruno has an ok jab but he isnt fast and unlike Wlad and Vitali his right hand was kind of slow and telegraphed, Byrd would have more confidence to get in and out, but yeah I guess hes better than I gave him recdit for

    Bruno was not as slow and stiff in 89. I'd give Byrd a better shot in 94-95 when Bruno seemed to be thicker slower and more robotic but I would still favor Bruno because of the style matchup and Byrds lack of punching power.
