    Coggi used grit and guile to beat Gonzalez the first time around. a masterful effort that goes underappreciated. And I must commend Isidro Rodriguez on keeping his calm and deliberating the affair whilst under undo pressure and surrounded by such chaos. We need more refs like that. For some reason, tho, he went missing from the ring for 4 years after that fight and only returned for one bout before disappearing entirely. Boxing's loss.

    In the second fight, Coggi changed tactics and baited Gonzalez to exhaust himself throwing that looping right to his massive mandible, ultimately crippling Gonzalez's attack and allowing Juan Martin to close the show.

    He should have fought Chavez.
