    Default Did Bruno ever get knocked down

    I know we technically went down against tyson and got up - not a proper KD though - but did Bruno ever actually get knocked down and counted out? Although he had a glass chin as such I\ve not seen him actually go down - more just lie on the ropes, get battered and then waved off

    Yes, although those who suggest he had a dodgy chin should watch the Smith knockout and see how many clean bombs it took Bonecrusher to get the job done (from 25:45):

    not including the smith fight he never went down

    was in front in every fight he fought in

    apart from against tyson his bogey man, every fighter or sports man or sports team has one, brunos was tyson

    and it wasnt ability, it was mental thing

    what was tysons best win? Bruno 1

    Bruno froze when he got caught hard...had he learned to clinch or push off the way Lennox Lewis did he would have had much more success.

    Bonecrusher also had a dodgy chin but he could punch...shame to see fighters be just incomplete enough not to be top of the line champions. Though much respect to both fighters who did hold belts in their careers despite the flaws in their game.

    Listen to Harry's commentary as Bruno is getting banjoed, no wonder so many grew up thinking a loss was the end, turned out Bruno wasn't even in the middle stage of his career let alone the end.

    In the end The Bomber was 'programmed' to clinch by the late George Francis. It proved your point in that, that clinching got him through the scary moments against McCall.

    Brunos arms used to switch off when he got clumped hard hahaha just hung down by his sides completely defenceless till Smith decked him.

    Remember a few times that happened too.
