Cliff Couser: Still got some
Punch
By David Pambianchi
January 26, 2009
(JAN 26) Unless the fighter is a
friend or relative, a celebrity or you placed a bet on the match and
want to get home early, few fans want to see a mismatch where one boxer
pummels the other into an early TKO. Most audiences admire action,
determination and heart from equally matched opponents.
While he still has the goods, Cliff
Couser (often referred to as “Twin Tyson” for his resemblance to Mike
Tyson), hopes his new manager David Selwyn finds him some quality bouts.
Selwyn states, “In a year or two he might retire, but he’s won some big
fights, and he still has the will and talent to hold his own in a tough
heavyweight division.
He had impressive wins over Monte Barrett
and Cuban star Jorge Luis Gonzalez and some tough opponents such as
Chris Arreola, Cedric Boswell and Tony Thompson that he did not train
properly for. Now, he is refocused and dedicated.”
Boxing veteran for over a dozen years, Cliff realizes that for most
fighters, the sport provides small paydays and little or no health and
insurance benefits. “We all know that life after boxing is tough. You
need to find a career. I plan to take up law enforcement and continue to
spend time with my wife the way married couples should, enjoying the
moment.”
But before this Prize Fighter turns Crime
Fighter, he wants to leave the boxing game with a few more impressive
matches. He confidently believes he can still step-it-up in the ring and
that his new management is honest and looking-out.
