Early life

Amateur career

Coe had a very successful amateur career. The highlight was when he took part in the Chemistry Cup in Germany. Not only did Coe win the overall tournament but he became the first man to stop 2 time gold medalist Julio Cesar La Cruz. Coe was also a part of the U. S national team. He was unable to qualify for the Olympics due to his criminal record.[2]

Professional career

He stopped Tadd in the second round after dropping him with a body shot.[3] Coe suffered a setback in his second fight on the undercard of Julio Cesar Martinez vs McWilliams Arroyo.
