Re: Gerrie Coetzee-vrs-George Chaplin(1981)
I saw this fight live and I thought it was one of the worst peformances by Coetzee. He was blowing after round 4, he really showed no power as he did in previous fights and his timing was completley off.
Coetzee only won imo because he was doing all the punching while Chaplin was too inactive.

Chaplin wasn't bad. I remember his fights with Page and Dokes. He gave them a lot of trouble.
