Coetzee stops Spinks in Monte Carlo to earn title shot
Gerrie Coetzee, 24, floored Leon Spinks three times in two minutes and three seconds to win by first round technical knockout, earning a shot at the World Boxing Association heavyweight title against John Tate. Spinks cried in his corner and declined interviews, saying, I got beaten. Coetzee, praised for his right hand, predicted the bout could be staged in South Africa before a large crowd and purse, as promoter Bob Arum noted. Tate arrived to gauge his next opponent, impressed by Coetzee’s power but unconvinced by the blitz.
