Bruno wasn't safety first anywhere near to the extent Wlad was though. It would of helped him if he had more survival skills.
If he had some he would have had decent chance against Tyson. I mean WTF why he had to stand toe to toe and slug with him?
Bruno has a reach adv. and a quality jab. I've never seen Wlad win a fight he couldn't completely control from range. Tend to think Bruno is a little tougher and has a sturdier beard than the fragile Klitschko.
Every pre Stewart fight? He doesn't have reach advantage. They are even. And if bruno stays on outside and tries to outplay Wlad from outside he is in for the beating.
I like the Klits unless Haye can surprise us, I think they are not only literally, but figuratively head and shoulders over the rest of the division,the problem is the division is so shallow Bruno is too predictable and static to beat Wlad, some one asked why he went toe to toe with Tyson? What else could he do? Can you imagine him trying to box off the back foot like Tucker? He was leaden footed, and could not fight going back.
Yeah. Nut his fight vs Brewster when he gassed out was more than weird. It well may be the most epic condition fail in history.
You have a point yeah....but there's no way Bruno would come into this fight and turn into a pacifist like 99% of WALDOS victims do. Even against prime Tyson he had the balls to meet the guy head on, and he's one of the few that did it and one of the very few that actually rattled the guy. Picture that version of Tyson v WALDO and what do you think would happen :shock:
I don't think so personally. I never saw Bruno out-boxed from the outside in any of his fights. The only 2 times he was ever out-boxed and beaten up was against Tyson (twice) In every other loss he was at least even or ahead on the cards, and we all know that means he really won them.
True Bruno had balls, even against Lewis he went for it even though he failed. Tough one to call really, but I think Wlads speed would give Bruno some problems.
Bruno could definitely turn up the heat when he needed to, and if you weren't careful, could hurt you.. He also might have a slightly better set of whiskers than Wlad does. The thing however, is that Bruno really only came alive when his opponent put pressure on him and forced him to fight.. Wlad, as we both know, probably won't do this, and would resort to his usual " play it safe tactics. " Regardless of these two men being big hitters with shaky chins, I can almost see this turning into a chess match, with Wlad being the better boxer. Another point of interest, is that Wlad's real weakness is the left hook, whereas Bruno is mainly a right handed fighter.. I wouldn't want to place money on this one, but my instincts tell me that Klitschko takes it in one way or another..
WTF? Wlad had no panic attack against Purrity and Brewster. He just gassed and was wrong conditioned.
