Tommy Morrison v Frank Bruno

[Cutman Scabbers]

Prime vs. Prime -- how would this go?

[NazNaci1]

Whilst I could certainly see Bruno land a few clubbing punches which, can settle this match, Morrison's hand and foot speed are so much quicker peak for peak, that I would probably favour him and most likely by a stoppage in and around 8 rounds.

As I said though, I would not rule out a Bruno win here, by any means. I just think though, the difference in speed might just be enough.

Frank for me early KO I think Bruno's chin (which is underated) is probably good enough to recover from a Morrison left hook.

This whole thread is surreal!
When the hell did Bruno ever recover from a patented
power punch from a world class foe like morrison in his career and come back and win? and dont give me mccall cos oliver didnt land a clean right all night. As soon as bruno got hit in his career by anyone with a heartbeat he froze and a fast powerful puncher like morrison would land at some point early imo as he was a fast starter and frank a slow one.

All of these Bruno v genuine contenders of the eighties and nineties matches r surreal as franks management would not let him in with anyone with a heartbeats chance of a risk during the eighties unless it was one of those rare world title eliminators or a title fight.

None of that is a slur on frank who would fight anyone with courage. when frank eventually took over his own management he suddenly started taking on and beating contenders like carl williams and pierre coetzer

This ones actually hard to call. Morrison could get very foolish with certain styles. He has the punch and actually enough boxing ability to beat Bruno,either by mid to late rd tko or ko or even just play it safe and outbox em but Morrison really had a tendency to get very careless reckless and stupid at times against certain styles. Bruno obviously has enough punch power to knock Morrison down a few times and get a tko ala Michael Bent providing Morrison throws away all strategy and poise and instead opts to recklessly aim for a 1st round ko to impress his hometown crowd. This would be Morrison's greatest approach to losing,but i think his greatest approach to winning would be to fight something of a combination of the Foreman,Ruddock,Williams And Vaulin fights. Be not too overly aggresive but aggresive enough to find the range when its there and utilize movement when its needed. And last but not least,I'd tell Morrison,"Dont aimlessly back into the ropes like deer in headlights if you get stunned". "Take a knee right away in the case that you get stunned while against the ropes".
