Frank Bruno vs Jimmy Ellis. What If?

Post by KOJOE90 »

Two Heavyweight 'title' holders who I feel are both underated at times in some quarters.

But who wins? Would the much bigger and more powerfull Bruno just blow Ellis away? Or does Ellis survive the early rounds to outhink and out last Bruno?

Jimmy Ellis.

Frank Bruno.

I'm going with Ellis. Of course Bruno would have a punchers chance, but Ellis would probably win. He should be able to outbox Bruno and win a decision. this is an interesting fight that I had never thought about.

If Harold Valan was the referee and sole giver of the decision

Ellis would "win" no matter what happened in the ring.

Ellis by decision.

Too fast and tricky for Big Frank.

Both in their prime...Ellis would box circles around Bruno and might even stop him late!

The sim showed a very unsatisfying outcome. One that I don't understand based on the readouts. Apparently it likes to add the realism of incompetent judges to it's matrix.

This is a tough call I think that Bruno would have power early on to stumble and frustrate Ellis.

It is later on after the 7th round that I imagine Ellis fnding his groove and Bruno's power and stamina would surely dwindle the later the fight wears on.

I see Bruno JUST winning.

I'll go with big Frank. Big, powerful, and can finish a guy he hurts.

In a prime Vs prime fight id pick Ellis by easy UD and he may even get a stoppage in the really late rounds, Ellis was to fast and skillful for Bruno, although Ellis would need to be careful in the early rounds as Bruno could punch.

I'd go with Ellis..I'd even bet on him.....but as always a punchers chance can always be a wild card.
