    He said in an interview recently he was never the same after the Ruddock fights and he should've never have fought him twice.

    I just watched it again myself and what really stands out is how pathetic Bruno's performance was, how ill-prepared he was and how horrible his corner was.

    1) Bruno's entire game plan seemed to be built around holding Tyson. He did it to the degree of losing a point and continued to do it even after Mills Lane said if he kept it up he would be disqualified.

    2) He seemed scared to death from the very opening.

    3) Brilliant strategem to turn southpaw. First time he did it, looked like an amateur who had never had a fight. Next time it created the opening that got him knocked out. I assume this was his trainer's idea, or did Frnak just do it on his own?

    4) The corner took about 30 seconds after the first round just to get a stool into the ring and get Bruno sat down.

    5) There were four cornermen and it appears on the video that all four were talking up a storm at the same time the whole period between rounds, both times.

    Really, really bad.

    90s tyson would probably have still beaten 90s lennox until around 98.
