Bruno Girard

The light-hitting Girard turned pro in 1991 and challenged Byron Mitchell for WBA and Lineal Super Middleweight Titles in 1999, in his first US fight.

The fight was a draw,[1] and in the rematch in 2000 Girard won a unanimous decision to win the titles.

Girard defended the belt once against Manny Siaca and then was stripped of the title for declining a rematch.

Later that year, he took on Robert Koon for the Vacant belt, and won via TKO.

He defended the belt twice including a rematch with Del Valle,[2] before losing to Mehdi Sahnoune via 7th-round TKO in 2003.
