Body punching highlights of the devastating hitting former top Heavyweight contender. Gentleman Gerry!
Gerry Cooney - Is a retired American professional heavyweight boxer. Despite relative inexperience, his exciting wins and size, aided by expert promotion, propelled Cooney into a lucrative bout with world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes in 1982. Cooney performed credibly before his corner retired him in round 13, and was regarded as having made a brave and determined effort. A view of him as tactically naive in defense was reinforced when former light-heavyweight Michael Spinks defeated Cooney in five rounds. In his final bout, he demonstrated his exceptionally hard punch by staggering powerful George Foreman, but was unable to capitalize on it. He retired with a record of 28-3 with 24 KO's. This highlight is focused specifically on his body punching, one of Cooney's greatest assets.
