    Bruno by concussive ko ,his jab would keep London out where he could not land himself,and after a few rounds of one way traffic , London would succumb to a big right hand.

    Brave as he was, Brian would not stand a chance against Bruno. A stoppage win for bruno in 3 to 5 rounds for me.

    London gets battered I can't see it going beyond 4 rounds.

    I think London would make a decent fight of it but he lacked the power to really keep Bruno off him.
    Bruno probably wins in 8 or 9 rounds with London absorbing big shots near the end.

    Does Bruno have to dig London's grave and build his casket first?

    Why are people hard on Bruno?

    People are not hard on Bruno.
    Bruno wasn't very good, he has a padded record, but I think it is unanimous that he would beat Brian London.

    But probably not as quickly as some believe,the Quarry fights lead me to that conclusion.

    Don't think people are hard on Bruno tbh. Not compare to a lot of fighters discussed here.

    Yeah, I don't see London being blown away quickly at all. He'd make it a good fight for a few rounds but a determined Bruno will get to him eventually, more like Bruno v Gross, Bugner, Coetzer etc. 8 or 9 rounds seems right.
    And perhaps I'm even underestimating Brian London on his best night.

    London loses even if the ref and 3 judges are also Brian Londons.

    London would be game as he always was. But I think Frank most likely scores a stoppage win at some point.
