Earnie Shavers - Frank Bruno

[Ugotabe Kidding]

who eeks out the decision?

[Hut*Hut]

Bruno Ko 3. A bit too big & strong I think.

[Xplosive]

Could go either way, but I think Shavers would lay him out. Bruno would probably get Shavers in trouble, then get nailed with a right hand, and freeze up and get KTFO. Shavers KO 3.

I think if Bruno uses the jab and boxes cautiously(ala Bruno-McCall) he might win in the late rounds. Otherwise Shavers murderizes him.

I was thinking something similiar, but bruno always look so tired after 4-5 rounds..

This is a bad fight for Bruno. He is easy to hit and has a shaky chin. If Bruno can get past the first few rounds, he might be able to drag Shavers into the later rounds but it's more likely that Shavers catches him early and bangs him out in the first few rounds.

True, neither fighter was know for their endurance. Bruno was thought of as a fighter with a questionable chin, but if you look at his fights(not counting the second Tyson fight where he was looking for a place to sit down) Bruno's chin seemed ok until he seemed worn out. ie Bonecrusher, Witherspoon, Tyson I, Lewis. Excluding the McCall fight his problems always started in the later rounds.
