A quite intriguing matchup, since both had helluva right hands, while were hittable and vulnerable enough.

Coetzee for me...big old lump who could properly crack when his hands were good and also box and move a bit.
Big height and reach advantages into the bargain.

I can see it being a fun fight - Johansson brings plenty of punch himself, can maybe get inside Coetzee - but ultimately Coetzee is the bigger guy and he's not a statue, standing still either.

It would be a war, but Coetzee is the bigger and stronger than Ingo that could jab and nailed him with his big right hand to knock Ingo Bingo out in 12 rounds.

I am with you Scorpio....other than the fact that Johansson might have felt the need to start fast and unsettle Coetzee. Come out and fight at a pace Coetzee did not enjoy and try and take away the Saffer's jab.

My best guess is that it could actually end pretty early - with Johansson forced to try something, take the risks - and Coetzee nails him.
