    Bruno does mention in his biography that he had problems with overtraining early in his career. That can seriously affect your co-ordination, as Riddick Bowe found in his second fight against Golota.

    Thanks man, I thought so. I would have loved to see this fight. Oh man, things are bad on the sis front. She is better with her colon problems, no operation was necessary, but she has gone right back to drinking heavily. It has only gotten worse since she turned 21. Now all she does when she gets off work is go to happy hour at applebees. She has completely disowned all of the family except me, and I am tired of wondering if she is going to try to off herself again. I get drunken calls or texts at 1:00 in the morning in the middle of the week all the time. :-(

    Thanks. That is what we are all hoping for. She has to want to help herself, and as of now, she is not ready to do so.

    Without a doubt. If he can't take it to Buster in the later rounds, then he is in deep sh*t.

    That all depends upon his gameplan leading up to the later rounds. If he is smart and conserves a bit, then yes, I could see him pushing it in the last few rounds or so, but I don't see this happening, I see him giving it his all throughout the beginning of the fight as usual, and then being gassed in the later rounds. But who knows, he might be able to pull another McCall fight special...
