Frank Bruno vs Michael Moorer 1996 Unification bout

I agree but I think “Probably” is generous Frank Bruno is probably one of the strongest heavyweights ever and Moorer was a bit of a small HW.

 

Bruno has a puncher's chance with Moorer but he boxed only one southpaw in his entire career when he stopped Swindon's Eddie Neilson in three rounds at the Albert Hall back in 1983. This gives Moorer a real edge and I feel the American survives a few wobbles to stop Bruno late in their fight.

 

Perfect scenario.

 

If Moorer can weather Bruno's power he can crunch him with that right jab.

 

If Moorer boxes clever he takes the decision (or an opportunistic late TKO). But this fight has a good chance of becoming a brawl - I think Bruno could force one - in which case I'd back Bruno to come out on top.

 

Hi Guys.
I have been to dozens of Buno fights back in time, mainly all wins, but then again who was he beating, I have to say the Bruno years and the Bruno topic have always in turns, both intrigued, and frustrated me, and many more like me I would suspect, I think he could have been so much better with the right training, coaching, and most importantly a mindfulness practitioner, he fought so tight, so rigid, his energy and stamina ( sometimes ) seemed to leave his body like ghost rising to the heavens, I have sat a few feet away from his corner stool, and even when he sat down, he still maintained a stiffness, the minutes rest did him no good , or so it seemed, he looked like he was exerting energy whilst sitting down, how is that even possible ? shame because I feel he could have achieved more with the right team behind him.
stay safe guys, chat soon.
PS - Moorer late stoppage.
