    I've got Coetzee on points in a tough fight. Thoughts?

    For some reason I like Berbick by decision but it could just as easily go the other way. Two very tough guys who liked to brawl and met Some of the same opponents

    Trevor by points or late KO. Gerrie never inspires confidence against durable, strong opponents.

    Gerrie by KO. he could hit and berbick was easy to hit and yampie enough to get into a fire fight .

    I can see Coetzee getting messed around by Berbick for a while. Then Gerrie striking through and having Berbick on bandy legs.Trevor would get overly confident and this would lead to him getting stopped.

    I can imagine Coetzee landing early here, in the first couple of rounds, rather like he did against Mike Weaver. I can see Trevor's discipline going out of the window and him digging in and winging back at Coetzee. Not sensible. Coetzee inside 5.

    i like Coetzee in this one. At his best was simply more talented with a greater skillset than Berbick
