R.I.P. Gerrie. A great boxer and a modest man.
The first time I saw Gerrie was on American TV when he pummelled Leon Spinks. Loved it when he knocked out Michael Dokes! God Bless you, Gerrie, you remain one of my boxing heroes!
As an American I was, a "huge" Gerrie Coetzee fan in the late 70's and early 80's. I remember his fights with Spinks, Weaver, and Dokes, like yesterday! I don't understand his language but I hope he is well, and thank you for the memories Gerrie !
He is truly a humble man, may he rest in peace.
Thanks friend. ❤ from South Africa!
Your very welcome. I was sorry to hear of his passing! During part of his boxing career I remember he lived in my state New Jersey, and I wish I had the pleasure of meeting him ! RIP Gerrie @@mtnstrand2819
RIP Gerrie. Your boxing career and successes brought a lot of happiness and pride to South Africans.
This is the strangest coincidence. I was standing outside having some lunch (Im in the UK) today and I recalled when I met Gerrie in around 1986. My father was doing some tiling work for Gerrie in one of his shops in Witfield and I was helping my dad. Anyway I returned inside after lunch and was working on my computer and just opened RUclips to find a video on another topic and there stood this video on my screen about Gerrie. wow..
BOTH OF US IN THE UK , WATCHING THIS!😉😉STERKTE!
Gerrie was truly a great. I would always follow his build up to the fights, attend public sparring sessions and really enjoy watching his fights. I regret that he ever fought Mike Schutte and that stupid simple song Gerrie seer handjies Coetzee really irritated me. The moegoe who sang that song obviously had no clue what Gerrie was going through in his fights subsequent to those injuries. What guts and determination. Still my champ!
Gerrie my friend, I salute you because you will always be my hero
Such a softspoken soul with a love for animals.....real gentleman......
Gerrie Coetzee... The great boxing legend. Made us all proud.
A gentleman of the old school. Much respect.
Always liked Gerrie he never shot his mouth off as far as i can recall he just let his fist do the talking God bless and keep well Gerrie
We are all getting older . Unfortunately . I remember the good old days . Never appreciated them then until I look back now !
What a man. Humble. I remember most of his feights. May God bless you
Ek was besig in my kantoor in Durbanville toe Gerrie en sy vrou daar instap. Ek was uiters verbaas. Hy het kom inskryf vir ń skipperskursus wat ek gereeld aangebied het. Dit was ń groot voorreg om hom te onderrig. Ek hoop dit gaan baie goed Gerrie. Met goeie herinneringe, At du Plooy
Gerrie a big thank you for all the boxing memories, you were a champion in and out of the ring.
Legends never die! And you don't need special skills to spot one! He was a warrior and legendary, never seen him before but I can see his character....
What a delightful interview and Gerrie is as humble as he always was - a true Gentleman and a worthy Heavyweight Champion who used his enormous talents to the best of his ability.
It was sad that while South African Gerrie Coetzee was fighting all the top heavyweights from America in the late 1970's and 1980's for hundreds of thousand purses, Gerry Cooney was getting all the attention from American Boxing fans & making millions. So, I was very glad when Gerrie won the W.B.A. title from Michael Dokes in 1983. And he made it clear he wished to be everyone's champion right away! I wish him the best of luck in his retirement.
Yo. I remember seeing Gerrie Coetzee when I was a little boy, probably 5 or six years old. I was in awe! What an amazing dude!
Ek het Gerrie se boksloopbaan gevolg vanaf 1974. Sy beweeglikheid vir so ’n groot man, was uitstekend. Almal praat van daardie verpletterende regter, maar hy het ’n dodelike linkerhaak gehad wat meer as een geveg na sy kant toe geswaai het. Dit was ’n onverwagse linkerhaak wat Dokes vir die heel eerste keer in sy loopbaan vloer toe gestuur het en ek dink toe het daardie neger besef hy gaan tweede kom. Gerrie se gebreekte regterhand het hom baie fisiese pyn besorg en hom sodoende sielkundig benadeel. As dit nie daarvoor was nie, glo ek, sou hy Page en Bruno verpletter het en sou hy onoorwonne uitgetree het.
Baie, baie dankie Gerrie, vir jare van gesonde boksvermaak. Het baie kilometer hier uit Natal gery vir jou gevegte. Dit was die moeite werd. Jy was die beste. Mag Vader gee dat jy veilig en gesond sal bly tot wanneer jy eendag huis toe gaan.
Gerrie will always be my hero boxer. I remember the big poster on my bedroom wall right next to where I slept, he had on a red boxing shorts with his fists slightly blocking his face. A true gentleman. I always used to watch him fight and it always seemed like he felt his opponents pain with every blow he rendered. Like he felt sorry for the guy. I love Gerrie and I thank you guys for this video, at least I know my boxing hero is still around and well. Gerrie, my CHAMPION for life. The days when sports rules was abided to, no politics and not for the love of the money, but the sport and the best entertainment for the crowd. You go Gerrie.
Emjay Bennett I felt the same way about Gerrie . A true champion and gentleman. But there were politics aplenty in boxing then as well as throughout the history of the sport. There were protests in America trying to stop Gerrie from fighting here because he came from South Africa and their apartheid society. Ironically, he was opposed to those policies and considered himself to be fighting for South Africans both black and white and in fact had the overwhelming support of the black people of South Africa. Most rooted for him against America’s African-American heavyweight champions. That was not the case for many white South African boxers. He also never considered himself a “white hope” champion but rather a true people’s champion for all people regardless of race or country. A truly good man. Glad he’s doing well these days.
@@Thejoeordinary1 yes, W B C would not recognise south Africa.
My brother Jimmy and I met you during the interval of a Miss South Africa final at the Colossuem in Johannesburg and we asked you to select your choices and you picked 3 contestants and 2 hours later they ended 1st 2nd and 3rd in the exact same order. Will never forget meeting you.
My Afrikaans is a little swak, and wish there was English subtitles or translation. Gerrie you did all South Africans proud all those years ago. Remember Sun City fight and a few of the others. Gerrie best of luck for the future and God bless your family.
At least you tried a few words!!
Great heavyweight boxer. Pity he had so much trouble with his hands, which probably cost him a number of fights. Best heavyweight we have produced!
Wow,this is a really wow,Gerrie Coetzee our Hero,I'm impatient and can't wait to see the Bomber of boksburg (Gerrie Coetzee movie)
Gerrie, a decent humble man, good boxer as well, just the confidence issue, but hey, we all have a flaw, he still scaled the heights with his. Respect.
Gerrie was my idol. Still is. And you know, lovely to hear Afrikaans spoken well. RIP oom Gerrie,
God Bless you Gerrie. I remember getting up at 4am one morning to watch Gerrie vs Leon Spinks. My dad was in the lounge and asked me to make coffee as the first round was about to start.
I remember going to make the coffee just before the fight was about to start. When I came with the coffee into the lounge my Dad told me he is going to bed. The fight was over. I did not see anything.🙈
🤣🤣🤣 Happened to my cousin as well.
@@marieslabbert6009 awesome memories.
I made a bed in the lounge watching honnibal cartoons and the fight started. Spinks ultra agro and then it's all over
My girl cousin laughed at me because I was so excited to see Gerrie ͏win that fight. I had heard about him and his “bionic hand” but had yet to see him. I liked Leon Spinks to and still do but the announcers were saying Leon was gonna come out and knock this guy Coetzee’s head off really fast. I believed them, I mean he had just beaten the Great Muhammad Ali recently, and I was so shocked when in fact it was a first round knockout but it was Gerrie that scored it almost knocking Leon out of the ring! Just the cockiness of the announcers and how soooo wrong they were made me a life long fan of Gerrie’s! Really glad he accomplished his goal of winning the WBA Heavyweight championship of the world. His story is one of never giving up through adversity (all those hand operations) perseverance (keep trying through the losses, some unfair ones) and defying the experts (the Spinks fight) Lessons for us all as we make our way through life. I am a fan of the man for life!
WOW. you were such a hero of mine Gerrie. God Bless you mate. ❤️ from N Z:
In 1979 at university we were riveted to the papers before his fight with Leon Spinks. Very good boxer. Pity his hands were damaged in 1976 by the dirty losing tank fight.
Ek onthou nog baie goed al die Fights van Gerrie Coetzee vir die wêreld Heavy weight title toe Ek nog in Suid-afrika gebly het en groot geword het. Die oggende vroeg opstaan ek en my pa' om Gerrie Coetzee Op TV te sien ons het hom baie geondersteen en gevolg. Hy was een van die Wêreld se Groot Boks Kampione wat nooit vergeet sal word nie. R.I.P. Great Champion.
Respect to Gerrie, Always . Great Champion.
I never knew Gerrie fought Paige with a broken thumb .now I know that's why he whas slower than usualy and because of the injection he got tired quickly . that's why he tried to knock Paige out with every punch.thank you Gerrie you made us all proud to be south african
Wow! Respek vir 'n groot gees. Ek sou graag wil sien dat Gerrie meer erkenning geniet in SA. Ek dink ook die tandtegnikuste kan hom vereer. Dankie kykNET dat julle by hom gaan aanklop het. Hy was beslis nie so saggeaard in die kryt nie.. :)
Wat n beskeie man. n GROOT wenner in my oe.
Ongetwyfeld een van die grootste talente van sy era. Ek is baie dankbaar vir die opwinding en plesier wat Gerrie my in die bokskryt verskaf het. 'n Rustige, voorbeeldige man met albei voete plat op die aarde.
Well said, Wouter, and totally agree with your 'No vac' stance. We must stand up for our rights here in SA!!
Gerrie, jy is en was en sal altyd ons swaargewig wereldkampioen wees. Trots op jou.
Nederige mens. Werlike wonderlike voorbeeld.
Als Nederlander kan ik ongeveer de helft verstaan. Dat is min of meer genoeg om de rest het verhaal te begrijpen. Er wordt geen rocketscience besproken. Als boksfan ken ik Gerrie Coetzee het best van zijn vernietigende ko van Micheal Dokes.
I met Gerrie at flying squad benoni in the 90's. I was the youngest policeman in the group and and was ordered to give gerrie a dop, Gerrie replied " los die man " I was surprised how modest and kind he was...
Always great to watch the boxers from south Africa, be it gerrie coetzee, corrie Sanders or frans boatha.
Man I wish that was in English. I loved Gerrie.
Dankie vir die. Bly dit gaan goed met hom
We still love you Gerrie, great champ
Those were the days.
Such a gentleman
Very good heavyweight in a very good era, a really really really tough man. God bless 👍
Oom Gerrrie .. wat I wonderlikke mens..ons Boksburg Bomber..
Altyd ons legend..
would have loved to see coetzee vs holmes and coetzee vs cooney,,gerrie is a real class act, who wins?
Respect.
RIP gerrie we will always love you
BIG RESPECT
Gerry, ekt nog n ou poskaart, en die middel blat van Gerry, Van Rappaport, God bless you.
Hy is nogsteeds so 'n gentleman soos toe hy jonk was. Min mense kan ook sê dat hulle in die geheel gelukkig is met hul lewens. Wel gedaan Gerrie!! 💪
Woow! i remember Gerrie, awesum!
Gerrie seer handtjies Coetzee.wat n legend
Legend vir altyd,Dankie Gerrie.
Het die geveg teen Dokes saam met my pa gekyk 😎
My pa het live gaan kyk, ek was te jonk.
Don’t know what y’all said but I probably agree with it. Love Gerrie!
@@Thejoeordinary1 I know it's a bit late, but FXT said he and his father watched the match between Gerrie and Dokes, and Francloy1 said that his father watched the Dokes fight live, but he was too young to go. Gerrie was awesome - on that we all agree!!
It was a school chant in the 80's that NO body could donner Gerrie, he was used and abused by the American boxing association. He will always be champion in this soutpiels mind.
Oom Gerrie! Jou yster! Legende........
Hullo Gerrie. Man jy was maar net die beste van die beste. Nooit n geveg van jou gemis nie. Sterkte en God seen jou Dae wat oor Bly op aarde. Groetnes.
Dit is so ironies hoe hulle iemand wat bekwaam is, kan weerhou om sy professie te beoefen, maar dan word ere dokters grade toegeken aan die wat nooit eers studeer het nie.
Wonderlik om vandag vir my kleinseun te kan wys wie ons helde was!
Legend
R.I.P Gerrie Coetzee
Legend!
Good man Gerrie
legend
Thank you.
Legend Gerrie👍
Wow what a guy!
Oom, jy was my pa se held.
Gerrie was my hero altyd die gevegte geky wou hom altyd ontmoet het maar nie kans gehad nie
RIP Champ
Rus sag "Ou Grote". Ek onthou nog hoe ons vroegoggende opgestaan het om na sy titelgevegte te kyk.
Good man here,
My name was GERRIE COETZEE when i was a little boy
Wat 'n nederige, beskeie mens. Old school, plat op die grond. Die wêreld het meer sulke mense nodig.
Baie respek.
Wie onthou die liedjie Gerrie seerhandjies Coetzee? Dit was met soveel deernis geskryf en gesing en ek het dit my kinders gesing.
Hi gerrie
Tydens my militêre opleiding het ek gehoor dat Gerrie toe hy in die SAGD was in die 70's te 1 Mil Hosp in 'n geveg was met 'n mede soldaat, 'n ene Moller wat blykbaar 'n groot fris man was. Gerrie het die ou so geslaan dat hulle hom opgeneem het in die ongevalle. Ek kan natuurlik nie sê of dit waar is nie maar ek het dit destyds geglo. Ek het Gerrie en Kallie se boks loopbane met baie belangstelling dopgehou.
Net 'n champion
Wanneer word die movie oor sy lewe vrygestel?
Remember him as " Die man met die at handed"
Dit laat my terug dink aan die goeie ou dae! Vandag is dit moeilik om boks gevegte te gaan kyk! Dink nie dit is meer veilig nie!
Rina was in dieselfde hoërskool as ek.
RIP. 12/01/2023
Het eenkeer langs Gerrie by 'n rugby wedsryd by die ou Ellispark gesit. Liewe donner mense, het nog nooit, ek herhaal, nog nooit iemand met sulke groot hande gesien, nevermind ontmoet, nie
Sy voet werk sy spoed sy beweeg was 100%
Gerrie van ek kan onthou was jy maar die man. Geniet jou oudag saam met familie
True Bok
Gerrie, wonderlike bokse gewees. Waars sy vrou?
RIP champ
Rus in vrede ou Gerrie ons wereld kampioen .
He lost his big title fights in South Africa against Tate, Weaver and Page yet won in the USA against Dokes. Work that out lol!
Di is nou tyd vir SA Rugby om Gerrie Coetzee en ander SA Wêreldtitel wenners soos die rateltaaie Dingaan Thobela asook ons professionele golfspelers wat internasionaal presteer het ere-Springbokke te maak as dit nog nie gebeur het nie.
Hy was die beste jammer sy hande
Wat ‘n nederige man!
GeRRie coetze was ons beste BOkS ER
Hy was geroof tn Page
Bionic fist!
