Does anyone who actually saw this fight have any comments on how the fight turned out? was it an exciting fight or boring? Did Bruno throw the fight away by not boxing smartly in the end?
the usual bruno performance against big tough guys.gave witherspoon all the trouble he could handle and hurt him several times.but witherspoon was tough,took it all and when as per usual frank ran out of gas,tim still had enough in the tank to put bruno away.it was a tough fight though.
Frank was in his usual Fantastic Physical condition, Tim clearly was far from Honed, But where Frank had the hiopes and expectations weighing on his shoulders, Tim had none of that Pressure, it looked to me like frank always suffered from this "The Nation Expects.." pressure in bifg fights, and burned a lot mental/nervous engery through this pressure, Whereas Tim just Cruised along biding his time Frank had had so many quick dramatic wins that this also hurt Frank, when he his Tim with good shots...and this time nothing Happend..Doubt must of started to creep in...this is course not uncommon with young big hitting prospects (Ala Mac Foster with Quarry ) Frank was in a New Jungle, and he wasnt king of the Beasts, This was Also a very de-motivating fight for Tim, here he was, the Champ defending his title in the Challengers back-yard, and the Challenger was getting paid more ! Bonecrusher reaped this benifit against a Demotivated Tim, Bruno Regrouped and eventually had his shortlived champions day in the sun, and Tim...just went throght the motions in between his long period of Discord with Don King.
