Both were big, and could punch.
But, both were muscle-bound and tight.
Non-flexible stiff-leg 'bombers' with ??? chins.

Frank nearly went down like the 'Hood' every time he got hit by a 'Bismark'.
Those big guys don't take it so good.

I don't think either is the standout favourite both could hit hard but were too muscled . Neither of them were dancing queens and both could be hurt . Bruno had the better jab of the two , either way I think this fight won't see 4 completed rounds . I know it's a cop out but for me it's who ever lands their best punch first.

Frank attacks with a barrage, but his punches are slow. Cleveland is able

Suddenly it's Cleveland who is in control, as he rakes a stunned Frank with
an assortment of wide hooks.
