    Tough match-up for Cooper as he liked to control his fights with the left jab, and Bruno despite all his faults is very difficult to outjab. Bruno is also dangerous with his power and strength (which he liked to use in the clinches) compared to the smaller Cooper who was suspectible to being knocked out or cut. Cooper I guess could trouble Bruno with his craftiness on his best day, but I just don't see him being able to outpoint Frank. He would have to hit a homerun with his left hook, and there's an equal if not a greater chance of Bruno's right hand doing Cooper in.
