Pierre Coetzer vs Gerrie Coetzee

[nooginator]

In the battle of the South African fighters of the 80s?

[fists of fury]

Gerrie Coetzee UD.

He was just better than the superbly trained, but limited and unimaginitive Pierre Coetzer.

..actually a good matchup, bit of a war of attrition but i think that the better conditioning and brawling tactics of coetzer MIGHT give him the edge.....coetzee was undoubtedly the more talented guy...but talent dont always win fights..

[fists of fury]

The thing with Coetzer thought is that he lacked power at the elite level. Sure, he looked like a big hitter against tomato cans, but against the likes of Bowe, Bruno or Foreman his power was lacking.

Coetzee had more power and just better equipped overall. Chin goes to Coetzer though. That guy could soak up a lot of punishment.

gerrie beats pierre by UD.

[Zakman]

Coetzee knocks out the limited Coetzer late.

[Seamus]

Coetzee should just use those low blows and rabbit punches that Bowe used to beat Coetzer once he was frustrated by the guy's durability. That should do the trick.

Actually I pick Johnny Du Plooy to win.

Gerrie wins by late round stoppage.
