    Fury UD or late TKO. Frank has the chance to catch him.

    I'd go for Fury by late stoppage ..but as I've stated before, Fury starts clowning about and Bruno gets him with a big meaty right, then it's anyone's game. Has Fury's Chin being really tested yet, and if Bruno gets him like he hit Lewis how does Tyson react ?

    I think Fury would clown him to a lopsided decision.

    Fury is vulnerable to looping overhand rights, and if Bruno lands anything like the way Cunningham and Pajkic did, the fight could be over. Bruno gets a lot of stick, but in all of his losses with the exception of Tyson II he had success and landed big at some point.

    I can see Fury moving and spoiling his way to a decision win, but he may have to weather a storm in the early rounds and get off the canvas to do it.

    He stopped being vunerable to that by Chisora II. I assume e are talking prime Vs prime, so those KDs are pretty irrelevant. Plus they both had very fast hands which helped catch him off guard

    Against Chisora (II), Hammer and Klitschko, he had excellent control of distance, and didn't look stylistically vulnerable in the same way. However, it's only 3 fights over a 12 month period. He obviously improved as a fighter in that time, but to say that 2 similar knockdowns against lesser opponents are irrelevant is a stretch. I'm not aware of Pajkic being noted for very fast hands (or anything for that matter), and being dumped flat on his back by a non-punching small heavyweight like Cunningham can't be completely glossed over.

    He was standing so off balance. I could knock down Oliver McCall if he was standing like Fury was when Cunningham knocked him down (okay maybe slight exaggeration). He showed against Wlad he can take a punch alright.

    Sounds about right. Frank could produce a sledgehammer right from no where sometimes ,if Fury is caught clean it could be his biggest test ,climbing off the canvas.

    All Fury.

    I do not see Bruno being the type guy to handle big lanky opponents all that well. Specifically, his defense fails before he can get in range to throw anything himself. Frank had to have his feet set to do anything and one of his best attributes was his balance while throwing punches.

    I do not think he can close the distance on this guy and change the arc of his punches to land. Peppered in the meantime and likely suffers one of those death by 1000 cuts type losses.

    i tihnk his actions just after, pining steve down to hit him with a wrestling move to get rid of him, speak volumes about whether he was in danger or not
