    Two big hitters here.
    Can Sanders do to Bruno what he did to Wlad?
    Could Frank put him out cold like he did to Coetzee??

    I could see a case for either of them winning.

    Sanders is dangerous, especially early and is taller and much faster, Bruno would have to be very careful coming forward not to walk into a counter.

    Bruno's jab is a problem for anyone not named Tyson, I could see it posing issues for Sanders along with his 5 inch reach advanatge. He also has the big right hand that's so effective vs southpaws, if he lands a right hand like he did vs Coetzee in rd 1 then it might be over very quickly.

    I honestly can't pick a winner. It might be much like Rahman/Sanders a fight were either man at any point could KO the other. I think Bruno can win the fight from the outside with his jab but as soon as he tries to press his advantage the danger is a counter left catches him.

    Good one.
    I see this ending in heartache for Bruno s fan s.
    Frank cracking him with the jab and being in control.. Untll mid way, Sanders nailing him hard.
    Then Frank s familiar failings come in with Sanders Ko ing him.

    Sanders by mid round KO. Bruno would lead on the cards

    Bruno is hittable and that's bad against Sanders especially if you have a reputation for a shaky mandible. I think Frank has a chance here with his power and Sanders' penchant for having a tear-up. I think the chances are Corrie gets to him first though.

    Sure would like the Bruno chances significantly better if he did not go into freeze mode when he got hurt. I think he gets hit clean while figuring out a southpaw and goes into his coverup mode and the ref waves it off.

    Bruno like Wlad did not have a bad chin per say but they did have an anxiety attack each time they got tagged. Worst for it being Frank.

    *Bruno takes a big hit*
    Brunos brain: Lets rabbit punch this scrub....
    5secs later- *Ambulance noises*

    I don’t know but I’d sure like to see it. This would be an exciting match.

    He couldn't even KO past prime former cruiser Czyz who was overweight and hadn't fought in over 2 years in 1 round. Next to no chance he does that to Bruno.

    You must have missed the Wlad fight.
