Frank Bruno vs Daniel Dubois

Post by EdwardRevolver1993 »

Bruno from the McCall fight vs Dubois from the Joshua fight in a WBC/IBF unification.

Fight takes place at Wembley - the site of Bruno's win over McCall and Dubois' win over Joshua.

This would've been allegedly's in-house fight.

How do you see it going?

Bruno pts, he had a good jab and did the basics well. Although I’m not mega confident saying that.

DDD, behind on points, stops Bruno in the eighth round.

Everyone was thinking, that Frank Bruno 2.0 was the best model of this series. However, the 2.0 version has recently been destroyed by Frank Bruno 3.0. Now it's tough to judge. Anyway, it would be a nice slugfest.

Interesting slugfest, but I believe that Bruno would outbox Dubois on the outside behind his longer jabs and nailing him with many right hands to either take a decision or stopping him late.

DDD with a late KO. Maybe behind on pts.

Bruno could at least box fairly well. A bit slow, but DD is not exactly fast.

Bruno's powerful jab, and punching power would take the W. DD is taller and is also powerful but is a less polished version of Big Frank.

Predict a Bruno stoppage 8 - 10 rounds.

I do like this one :salut:

Personally, I can't call it with any confidence.

Bruno got progressively better into his thirties in terms of pacing himself, clinching and smothering opponents and using the thudding jab to collect rounds and not get compromised himself. Frank also got heavier into the bargain.

But I think Dubois wins it, he's plenty strong enough not to get bullied by Frank and I think his power shots hit home. Dubois is not a slickster but he does gets himself in range to throw them without getting nailed and he fights at decent tempo.

So maybe Dubois and a bit like Lennox dealt with Frank and somewhat later in the fight....some nasty rounds for Dubois and he eats a few, but ultimately he gets through in the 9-10 round?
