After that a left hook from Lewis in round 6 turned and spelled doom for Bruno.

Not really lucky because Frank Bruno always mostly faded down the stretch, he was ahead in his fights against James Smith, Tim Witherspoon, until he got caught and was stopped.
Frank Bruno didn't have a bad chin its just his survival instincts were poor. He didn't have a clue what do when he was hurt, he would just stand straight up taking brutal punches against the ropes.
His stamina was also poor in some fights but i don't think that was really one of his flaws. Because his stamina was fine after going 11 hard rounds with Tim Witherspoon, its just his poor survival instincts that let him down once again.
He was also far too robotic and stood up right too much, he also lacked confidence IMO. But other than that a good fighter with a very good jab, who probably should have achieved alot more.
Lucky no, but it did change the course of the fight
The key is Self-discipline.
