Tex Cobb versus Pierre Coetzer
Tex Cobb versus Pierre Coetzer
10 rounds.
Re: Tex Cobb versus Pierre Coetzer
Coetzer was a more sound boxer, but still quite vulerable. Probably he would start good, but eventually Cobb would prevail.
Re: Tex Cobb versus Pierre Coetzer
This is another very evenly match pair of heavyweights. Same fighter, basically, in physical attributes and style. Coetzer probably had a slight advantage in technical skills, but it wouldn't have mattered much. Both guys fought like neanderthals and counted on outlasting their foes by dint of stamina and willpower.
I just don't know what to say.
But I'll put myself on a limb and lean towards Cobb. I wouldn't want to put money on it, though.

Re: Tex Cobb versus Pierre Coetzer
Coetzer would have his moments outboxing Cobb in the early rounds, but Cobb would wear Coetzer down with body shots and knocking him out with his big right hand in the late rounds between 9 and 10.

Tough call....
I'll be the odd man out & pick Coetzer by decision Cobb.
