    Both pack a punch, both known not to react well to big shots.. Where's your money. Prime for Prime I'd take Big Frank to smash his face for a few rounds then detonate something on him about round d 3 or 4. I'm not a massive Bruno fan but I think he takes this

    Even Golota would finish Bruno once hurt :)

    Golota was a better boxer and more fluid, he would outbox Bruno and stop him mid to late rounds

    I just think Brunos jab would dictate it till he landed big. I then think Golata mentally disintegrates.. But that maybe why I do the job I do and am not a boxing pundit

    Golota should be favored. Bruno was a bigger hitter for sure but golota had fluid movement and was much less stiff. I dont think he would be there for bruno to tee off on. Although if bruno lamds a big right hand golota would be in trouble and his mind and chin would be tested.

    If golota can get past 7 or 8 rounds without mentally folding or getting KOd, then his stamina advantage should carry him to a win.

    Whatever happens the rematch could be completely different, a pair of bums in my humble opinion, I hope Frank recovers though nothing personal.

    What an awful, disrespectful and asinine post. "Just two bums". Yeah right. Get the **** out of here buddy.

    Both had power but very unsavvy and badly trained, both made mistakes all over the place.

    How does a fighter possessing attributes you deem bad constitute you insulting them?

    I'd give it to bruno, golotta had too weak of a mentality. We'd most likely see bruno getting low blowed many times

    Bruno wins by t.k.o. Or d.q.

    Golota with the jab. Just a better overall fighter.

    Golota favorable match up for him. He was far better boxer, and Bruno faded all the time which negates being able to push Golota in mid late rounds to the point of making him fold.

    It depends which Golota turned up.
    The version that fought Bowe twice I think would be favoured to beat Bruno, he is a better all round boxer who I think would have enough to eventually stop Frank.
    However the basket case who turned up in many of his other fights would be knocked out.

    If Golata turns up with the mindset of the Bowe fights, then I see him stopping a tired Bruno in the late round s. But if he comes in with under confidence and anxiety, then I see Bruno hurting him early and stopping him before the fifth. A lot rides on Golata s state of mind in this bout imo.

    Varying opinions there.. Would have been a good fight with a bit of leather flying.

    Golota had a better jab imo.
    Golota is mentally tougher, just look at the wars with Bowe and when in trouble, he can weather the storm at least with low blows :)
    Bruno once hurt froze...
