    Also those picking Bruno to get outboxed should remember Bruno held his own with Lennox Lewis, outboxed Witherspoon, Smith and McCall amongst others. Brunos jab was such a potent weapon that most struggled to get past it

    Bruno did well with his jab......for a few rounds against Lewis.There's a difference between having some success earlier in the fight and sustaining this type of fight over the course of twelve rounds.


    Bruno didn't outbox Witherspoon,either.He was holding his own and winning a few of the earlier rounds before Witherspoon took control of the fight down the stretch and ultimately stopped Bruno.


    Byrd was simply a more well conditioned and durable fighter than Bruno was.Byrd is more than capable of hurting Bruno and stopping him over twelve rounds.
