    Who wins this battle of the European champions? Remember, Taangstad drew with Buster Douglas who KO'd Mike Tyson who stopped Bruno 2x. Also Taangstad had some good HW wins.

    I see Tangstad doing well during the first few rounds, before being eventually catched by a big right hand and stopped.

    I think Bruno destroys him like he did with Anders Eklund (who koed Tangstad for the EBU).

    Hard jabs followed by his big righthands would dismantle him within 6 on a normal day. If Frank is in the mood (eg Coetzee or fellow European Luis Rodriguez) then a 1 or 2 round is on the cards too.

    Frank Bruno for all his faults could really punch and had a ramrod jab.

    Stefan didn“t have the power to keep Bruno away, he struggled with an old Bugner and barely beat a brave but average John Westgarth.
