All jokes aside it almost looks like he draws Spinks skin with his face a little as he pulls away. He wastes zero time in getting a punch off as they break too. Watch really really closely the millisecond his face parts from the skin of Spinks. There's a definite strange effect going on if you watch Spinks shoulder. There's some sort of deformation, but from that?
It is an odd sequence isn’t it? Why did Coetzee snuggle in like that? He must have scratched Leon with his moustache at the very least.
What I find even stranger is that an incident that never happened, with no evidence, that was never complained about (which would have had a good possibility of earning Spinks a DQ win) and with a very plausible alternative explanation ... is suddenly being treated as possible and even probable 30 years after the fact
I must have seen this fight ten times Never noticed until now. Good thing I am not a detective. Weird. Almost looks like he nuzzled him or something. Slinks looks to laugh afterwards. Gerrie sure hit him hard after though. Spinks was done after 1st knockdown. I have to think nobody expected Coetzee to hit that hard.
Ok. That would be just before the little incident i am seeing i think. With that taken into account i'm going to go out on a limb and openly wonder if he was sucked on his neck Ala a love bite hence the skin pulling as they parted. Ridiculous but there's something there for sure
Well Gerrie did have that 1980s mustachio look going on didnt he? Unless it meant something different in South Africa.
Moustaches were mandatory in SA at the time. They were measured with a vernier once a year to make sure that every male adult capable of growing one conformed to some basic standards.
There was an awful lot of them wasn’t there? Brian Mitchell had one, Pierre Coetzer had a good one. Kallie Knotoetze too... Frans Botha had a blonde one... Corrie Sanders, Cedric Kushner..
