    Now that's an atmosphere. 8:20 onwards for the terrific finale and best of the atmosphere. It's just something you never see in the US. Was discussing this in another thread but the atmosphere saeems to be so stale in the US these days. I used to love the big Vegas nights.

    I remember when Mike Tyson knocked Bruno out, it was brutal!

    Frank could come out of retirement today and take that WBC title of Deontay.

    There was just too many Americans roided up to Mount Everest back in the day for him to be dominant.

    think I'm right in saying Bruno never got dropped could be wrong but I'm pretty sure on that

    Apart from the Bonecrusher Smith fight, both Tyson fights, and the end of the Tim Witherspoon fight.

    He was nearly always stopped on his feet. When he got dropped it was usually from exhaustion. He was that heavily muscled that he couldn't go into the later rounds. Even in this fight he was out on his feet at the end.

    The best fight I saw Bruno in was against Lewis, he wasn't scared of him & went for it...

    I well up and get chills down the spine every time I see that fight. Big Frank was such a part of my childhood growing up and watching all his fights. I still don't think there has been a boxer since that was as loved as Bruno was by the British public. You still hear people chanting his name at fights, Bruno ... Bruno!

    Love big frank. he was pretty much the nicest person you can find in sport yet he was one of the dirtiest fighters I've seen in modern day boxing. and that's not a complaint I don't mind a dirty fighter

    He liked the elbows ol Frank.

    He was so powerful his jab was excellent.
