-"Page's crosses seemed to shake the champion in the fourth and fifth rounds, but each time, Coetzee rebounded with hard left hands. Despite some early-round bombing, Coetzee's famed 'bionic right' never became a dominant factor, at least partly because Page's chin is one of the best in the division. With Page gaining momentum after scoring an after-the-bell knockdown in the sixth and a legitimate one in the seventh, the end came suddenly--and controversially. The eighth round seemed to go on and on, and it finally ended when Page dropped Coetzee to his back with a vicious left-right combination. Referee Isidro Rodriguez counted out the South African, but according to most ringside reports, the time of the kayo had come almost four minutes into the round.
