A prime Coetzee vs these men in their primes..

How do you see the hard hitting Sth African fairing in these such match ups.

Prime for Prime off course :)

Vs Frans Botha

Vs Michaerl Moorer

Vs Nino Valdes

Vs Jess Willard

Vs Corrie Sanders (South African)

Vs Jerry Quarry

Coetzee-Botha

Botha struggles to adapt to Coetzee's size & power from the outset. He's down early, & never truly recovers. Coetzee takes him out around the 8th.

Coetzee KO8 Botha

Coetzee-Moorer

Moorer gets off the deck to decision Coetzee, in a fairly close fight. Coetzee, more accustomed to the fifteen-round distance, finishes plainly the stronger of the two, winning the last two rounds big. It's just not quite enough in the end, faced with Moorer's sharp, consistent counter-punching.

Moorer UD15 Coetzee

Coetzee-Valdes

Very difficult to predict. On their best days, each is a dangerous man --- but each had plenty of bad days, too. It's really who lands first & hardest --- they may not necessarily take the other man out early, but they may take the fight out of them. Close --- I'm going with Valdes.

Valdes TKO7 Coetzee

Coetzee-Willard

Like the fight with Valdes, it's a toughie to call. This time, I'm going with Coetzee. Perhaps a little more active on the night.

Coetzee UD15 Willard

Coetzee-Sanders

Coetzee gets off the deck in the third to floor Sanders twice in the sixth, almost having him out. After that, the fight slows, until Sanders eventually wilts, retiring on his stool at the close of the 9th.

Coetzee TKO9 Sanders

Coetzee-Quarry

Coetzee, for mine, is just too slow & predictable against the quicker, more energetic Quarry. He loses the decision in this one --- no blow-out, but not especially competitive, either.

Quarry UD15 Coetzee

His record against this crew, 3-3-0 (2 KO's).

You used pretty colours GI :)

Good to see they don't distract you from serious discussion, Robbo

Nah I will post my results soon. I am pending on the Valdes out come.
I have some of his fights I want to check out later.

I think Coetzee beats Botha either late stoppage or a decision.

Moorer out lasts and works him, both are rocked, but MM lands that
south paw jab straight down the pipe and works nicely from there
to take the dec.

Coetzee stops Willard some where from 1-4.

Sanders and Coetzee I think would be a pretty interesting fight. I
think it plays much as you see it.

I see Quarry able to land some nice counters on Gerrie after himself
being tagged early. Quarry gets a TKO in around 7.

I will post my Valdes fight soonish :) From what i have seen of Valdes
he is pretty inconsistent. Though I have a couple more bouts I really
really wanna watch :)
