    Is anyone's opinion of Bruno lowered in part just because he gave up after the loss to Tyson, as well as loss of the title? I know its affected my already low view of Bruno.

    He retired due to a damaged retina, he would’ve probably lost to someone he shouldn’t have

    I don’t think he could be overly criticised for retiring when he did.
    He was 35 had been ko’d 5 times when stepping up, had achieved his aim against McCall then looked really bad against Tyson there was no where for him to go really.

    No, tbh he was done after Tyson. His eye needed surgery and really there was no where else to go.
