Ernie Terrell vs Frank Bruno in their primes.

I saw a lot of Bruno growing up, ( You really couldn't avoid him ), and the one thing you had to do as an opponent, if you wanted any success, was to back him up. Frank always looked his best against Fighters with a negative approach. He was one dimensional and predictable, he probably couldn't boil an egg without throwing a jab, but against anyone who let him get on his front foot, he was hugely effective.
This is all bad news for Terrell, a lean back, counter and clutch merchant with no offensive weapon to speak of. The jab that some posters are referring to was thrown as he went backwards.
Using his Play in a Day Guide to Boxing, Bruno would cut down the ring, corner Ernie and stop him on his feet before the end of the fourth.

i just noticed a few rhymes in there; that your pic @red cobra?

 

@Richard M Murrieta, I'm gonna take a crack and guess what your occupation is, okay?

 

Actually I was going 2 guess that your job is 2 like comments on the forum ha ha. That's cool though. Your real job I mean.

 

And of course u go and like that! ha

 

The pic...if it were my dear William,...I can assure you that I wouldn't be on a boxing forum. She's an Israeli girl ...a model, I'm sure...that I met on Facebook, lol. I'm gonna start saying that she's my girlfriend and change my name to Pinnochio.

 

lol, you're a genius

 

If you became a millionaire suddenly (lotto, inheritance, or whatever) Israel would be the place to go if you wanted to become an international playboy.

 

Yesterday, I couldn't even spell "poet", but now I are one.

 

Bruno lays him out.

 

Nice breakdown. Don’t fully agree but you made me rethink it. Don’t recall Ernie fighting backwards a lot but you’re right his power was non existent. But he was good at tiring his opponents and Bruno was easily tired. If Ernie lasts five rounds I think he gets it. But that’s a big if with Bruno’s power.

 

you have a nice breakdown here even though i don't fully agree w/ it

 

Nice one Gazelle. Thank you.
