    Did you miss the entire fight sans the past six minutes of Bruno/McCall? :?

    You won't see Chuvalo feinting a punch only so he could get inside to clinch in order to not take any punishment.

    I think of Coetzee as being the much better fighter. George was tough and strong, but a bit overestimated in my opinion....too many losses to guys who weren't top of the line.

    He also said " I always say the loser goes to the hospital." which is a pretty valid point.

    I do remember Bruno hurting McCall in the fight more than oppositely and I do remember McCall clinching . I also remember McCall trying to win at the very beginning and also the end , but calling a few defensive spoiling moves "going into a shell" is a wild exaggeration . If McCall went into a shell how would 1 describe Wladimir Klitschko , Ali & Holmes ?
    And then Tunney ?
    D thing gets worse when that the same 1s that praise the above disgusting foulists/spoilers , call a more aggressive fighter "going into a shell" and try to blame him as being overly defensive for 1 fight of his while they praise the above for their yet even more exaggerated defensive/spoiling style which occurred in almost all of their fights and not just in 2-3 fights.
