    Lyle had a good chin, so he probably avoids trouble early. Coetzee may tired down the stretch and Lyle would take him out, imo.

    I honestly don’t know. Lame answer I know. But these guys seem pretty evenly matched. I think it might be a really good fight though

    You're more generous than I my friend. Lyle would get him quicker than Weaver. Maybe 5 rounds...

    though I guess it might be interesting if Gerrie takes Ron past the 7th. Ron definitely had gas problems.

    Reminds me of a statement Lyle made when asked why nobody wants to fight him- It was something to the amount of, "Maybe it's because of my breath."

    Bump because of new members and people who potentially missed it.

    The Coetzee who beat Dokes vs the Lyle who beat Shavers and gave foreman fits would be an excellent fight. Still not sure who wins but the crowd would get its money’s worth.

    Coetzee at his best would stop him. But Gerrie could be inconsistent. In real life, probably 50-50.
