Hmm...interesting. You know what? Can't even pick this one.:doh: I pass on this one, although with a gun to my head I'd probably go with Cooney.
I'll go with Cooney. I think he might get ouboxed for a while but lands a big blow which changes the fight.
Bruno was more skilled, they both had shaky jaws and poor stamina, but Cooney had much more of a fight-ending punch... its a pick-em gun to my head, I'd be more inclined to place my chips on Cooney Be a fun fight while it lasted, I think
Still have the same feeling because Cooney's early power is such a different problem for Bruno than he dealt with against flabby Witherspoon or Smith ... the only caveat is Cooney was hardly a marathon runner himself ... can Bruno survive a bad shakeup or three early? Can he get up to win? I guess it's an outside possibility
Bruno doesn't get picked a lot in MM's - usually cause he's matched against better fighters - but fuck it, I'll take him in this one. Cooney was devastating early, but then again, Bruno was a really big puncher himself and also a fast starter. The fact that Frank was jabbing the Hell outta Lewis for 6 rounds leads me to believe that his heavy jab would back up Cooney, and then Frank could nail him with power shots. Also, let's not forget, Tyson had to walk through some fire to get to Bruno in the first fight. Granted, it was a lethargic Tyson, but even a lethargic Tyson is 5x better than the best Cooney. That left hook that Mike got hurt with would have probably have Cooney fucked. I'm not making a definitive pick either way, as this is basically a 50-50... but I'm slightly more confident in picking Frank. Bruno in 6.
I'd confidently pick Bruno. He wasn't that easy to get out of here (ask Tyson and Lemmon) and he's much more skilled than Cooney
