Frank Bruno's Boxing Is Related To Mike Tyson's Boxing, In A Way: GIF Spotlight

Today, I ran across a play-through video on Youtube of a video game starring Mister Frank Bruno. I had to GIF this blessed gem with an interesting rendering of Frank Bruno fighting both "Tribal Trouble" and "Frenchie France," two of the most revered heavyweights of someone's mind.

Yes, that man had a bone in his nose, and, yes, Bruno's hair looks like it could be He-Man's hair. The only thing I could find about this game was that it might be "unofficial" and possibly used the arcade game precursor to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, called Super Punch-Out!!, as the template for a Commodore 64 game system. It's all Greek to me though. It was either officially or unofficially entitled "Frank Bruno's Boxing" in 1985. . .I think. If you need more than a GIF, like a score, here is the video I found:

There is also an attempt to give the history of it on this Wikipedia page. It should be enough just for you to know that it existed. Things like this do not need explained. They're gifts.

Holyfield is prepared, focused, and ready: GIF Spotlight

Evander Holyfield steps out of the darkness, into the light, puts up his dukes, gets into his rhythm. This dramatic sequence is the beginning of Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing, on the Sega Genesis video game console, 1992. They have better graphics now, supposedly. But do they capture the intensity? No way. Not in this era. These kids today, they don't have the gaming intensity of the old-timers. More technical graphics, less soul. 'Vander's Real Deal would have too much heart for Fight Night Champion in its prime. Prime for prime. Prime for prime, it's 'Vander time!

The Old 8-bit Curly VS Gigantic Fist Conundrum: GIF Spotlight

From The Three Stooges video game, released in 1987 by Cinemaware, on Nintendo, among other systems, and based on their films directly. This would be Curly, at a severe, severe size disadvantage. We are talking Klitschko VS Kameda here and then some, folks. Fight Night Champion it is not. But it's all heart.
