Missing Bruno

[smashup]

I remember years ago some magazine claimed they measured Brunos punch power on a machine and it was equivalent to the force of a sledgehammer. True or not i don't know but i deffo remember the article. All i can dig up is this article on punch power
What is the hardest recorded punch

I grew up on Bruno and me and my Brother used to get free tickets to the Royal Albert Hall in London through Micky Duffs secretary who was a friend of a friend..! i remember seeing Pat Barret in some good fights down their too... Great days as a kid and what a top fight venue

Bruno is pretty much the reason i got hooked on Boxing as a kid

Pat Barrett had a vicious left hook.

[Mark TKO]

Will never forget that night - the whole pub shouting 'hold him Frank, hold him !!' and willing him to get to the bell against McCall. A real feel good factor and such emotion when he got the decision. Even the men were hugging

I'm too young to remember Cooper as a fighter but Bruno has to be the most loved British fighter of my era, maybe ever ? Hatton had a bigger following to fights but his support was mostly regional. He was no p4p contender we all knew that but the whole nation loved Big Frank and yes we may never see another like him.
