Would Tony be able to use his boxing ability to hold off Gerrie and win a decision or could Gerrie catch him with his right and score a stoppage?
Gerrie could very well catch him,Depends on the condition of Coetzee, Tucker could bore you to death but he was fit, could go either way but Gerrie could wack with the BIONIC right
Tucker is a bit of a mystery man. There is no question he had ability, but often he squandered it. He never really achieved what his potential promised. In some ways, the same could be said about Coetzee. I hate to do it, but once again I must pick against Gerrie. Tucker was a good boxer with sufficient resilence to not get knocked cold by Coetzee's bionic right. I see a fairly close fight, but Coetzee would be playing catchup all the way. In the latter rounds, Coetzee tended to fade a bit, and Tucker would consolidate his points lead. In the end, he'd box his way to a UD over 15. However, if Tucker comes in out of shape (as he often did) then Coetzee wins on points.
Tucker SHOULD win, but I find it hard to visualise Tucker winning such an important fight. Hmmm... I'll go for the compromise: Tucker wins a decision, but looks awful and gets tagged repeatedly with right hands in the early rounds.
