Cassius Clay >
"You better be ready when I fight Mildenberger. It may be my last fight. It will be a rough
and tough fight, and I may lose."
"This German is a much better fighter than my last opponent {Brian London}. That fight
was more an exhibition than a Championship Bout. This fight is for real."
"If I lose, I will retire and become a full-time Minister for my Black Muslim religion."
Cassius spent the day working out in a Frankfurt gym, as he did a series of exercises

Sunday ~ September 4, 1966
~ Fastest Opponent That Cassius Has Ever Faced ~
Challenger - Karl Mildenberger has his hopes on 'speed'. The southpaw German is
going to use a cautious approach, and fast-hands in his effort to 'upset' the Champion
Cassius Clay.
The 28 year-old Mildenberger is a heavy underdog, with some Odds set at {10-1}. But
many feel that the fast-boxing southpaw may have just enough hand-speed to neutralize
the lightning-quick Champion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karl Mildengerger >
"I'm the fastest guy he as ever faced. He knows it, and I know it. If he tries to move and
box, he will be met by fast right-hand counters. If he moves in close, he will be on the
receiving end of my fast left-hand leads."
The word here, as many have watched each fighter in 'open' sparring sessions, is that
Mildenberger is fast, but he is nowhere near as fast as the Champion.
On the other hand, Mildenberger has only scored '17' Knockout in his '49 wins. So he
can box, and knows how to win by Decision.
But, his lack of power may not be able to keep the Champion away. As Clay has proven
that he can take a solid punch, and come back fairly quickly.
Kalr Mildenberger is familiar with American boxers, and has never lost to a 'Yank' in
'24-Bouts, as he gone 21-0-3 in those bouts. But the Champion is on another plane {level}.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Spokesman for the Champion >
"Look, Cassius is so fast, that he will make the quick German look cumbersome. We don't
expect the bout to go longer than the 5th Round."
"If Mildenberger is still there in Round 6, well then we'll have to admit that he is a better
fighter than we expected."

~ Max Schmeling ~ 'Give Karl A Chance' ~
Former Heavyweight Champion - Max Schmeling says that the critics should lay
off Karl Mildenberger and give him a chance.
Max Schmeling >
"When I went over to American to face Joe Louis the 1st-Time, nobody gave me
a chance. Well, I say that we should give Karl a chance first, before we start
criticizing him."
"Karl is a good boxer, and though he does not punch hard, he still has good boxing
skills, enough to go unbeaten against '24' other Americans."
"I have seen Clay fight before, and he is very fast. But when you are moving around
the Ring in high-speed, you can lose some of your power. That fast-style may work
against him and become a weak-point, because he can't hit as hard as when you are
flat-footed."
"I've told Karl to be patient, and not to go over-board in trying to impress the home
country supporters. He has to fight his own fight, and forget about trying to be a Hero."

~ Mildenberger Plans To Give Clay A Fight That He'll Never Forget ~
Karl Mildenberger is out to give the Champion something he's never had before
as Champion, a real fight in the Ring.
The usually quiet and reserved Mildenberger, has been on-edge lately, as very few
in the Boxing Press have given him a chance at defeating Cassius Clay.
Mildenberger, who has worked hard in Training, was boxing solidly on Tuesday
Morning, as he went '5-Rounds' with Dutch Light-Heavyweight Champion -
26 year-old - Bas Van Duivenbode, a quick-moving and aggressive 5' 11" 170 lb.
fighter with a record of 16-8-4 {6 KO's}.
The German also took on one-time Ring foe, in veteran 29 year-old American Heavyweight
'trail-horse' the 6' 4" tall Billy Daniels. The fighters were involved in a 'smash-hit' 3-Round
session.
Following that, Mildenberger took a brisk 1-Hour walk up into the Taunus Mountains. And
then returned by running back at a steady-pace.
Karl Mildenberger >
"I have had it up to here with people criticizing me. I have been boxing as a Professional
since October 1958 {8-Years}, and I have only lost '2' of my 54-Bouts. What more do they
want. I have earned a Championship bout, and expect to do well."
"Nobody is giving me a chance. Yes I'm mad."
"I have put together a fight-plan, and as long as I follow it, I will do well. I will not chase
Clay and make foolish swings at him while he is fleeing. I will make him come to me.
If he does, I will have something for him."

Joe Louis >
"I think this German fellow is a nice guy, but he has no idea of how to fight. He is a southpaw,
but he seems like he;s not sure on whether he wants to box right-handed or left-handed."
"When he moves he squares up, and leaves himself wide open. And he pushes his punches, as
there is no snap in them. If he fought me back when I was Champion, he would be lucky to
get past the 3rd-Round."
"I'm sure he will give Clay some trouble. Clay cant punch like me, as he's a 'slappy chap'. I
think it will take Clay about 7 or 8 Rounds to figure this guy out, and then out-box him
for a few Rounds to wear him down."
"I'll take the Champion by a 10th Round Knockout."

~ Common Opponent Predicts Rough Night For Mildenberger ~
Billy 'The Barber' Daniels, a 29 year-old 6' 4" tall and lanky Heavyweight from New York
predicts a rough night for German Challenger - Karl Mildeberger.
Billy, who was brought over here to Frankfurt 2-Weeks ago by the Challenger's Manager
Bruno Mueller, has been in Mildenberger's Camp as the chief sparring partner.
Billy Daniels >
"I know that I'm supposed to be in Karl's Camp as a supporter, but he has little chance
in defeating Cassius. Don't get me wrong, Karl is a decent fighter, but he does not hit
hard enough. And he makes too many mistakes in the Ring, like dropping his left-hand
and walking straight in."
"Karl is a southpaw, but his squared up stance almost makes him a right-handed fighter.
He is in right in front of you, and he's open for straight right-hands down the middle. If
he stayed back and used his right-jab with his left-handed stance, he would have a much
better chance with Cassius."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Billy 'The Barber' Daniels >
Billy is now a 29 year-old 'Trial-Horse' Heavyweight with a record of 20-14-1 {10 KO's}.
The 6' 4" and 192 lb. lanky boxer from New York City was at one-time a highly--touted
Heavyweight in May 1962, with an undefeated record of 16-0-0 with {7 KO's}.
On May 19, 1962 > Billy {Age; 24 1/2} battled the young and also undefeated 20 year-old
Cassius Clay 13-0-0 with {10 KO's} in a Nationally Televised bout between 'two' Heavyweight
prospects. In a very competitive and entertaining bout, Billy was stopped {L TKO 7} by a
badly cut left-eye.
But, Billy was impressive in that bout, and had Clay 'groggy' and stunned on '3' separate
occasions.
A year-and-a-half later on November 29, 1963 > Billy was in Germany battling Karl Mildenberger
in a key Heavyweight bout between two Top 10 fighters. Billy was ranked at #9 with a record
of 18-4-0 {9 KO's}, and Mildenberger was ranked at #10 with a record of 38-2-1 {13 KO's}.
In a 'shocker' Mildenberger put Billy down and out in Round 3 with a single thunderous left-hook
to the body.
It was the 1st-Time that Billy had ever been floored, or stopped in his career.

~ Boxing Experts make Their Predictions ~
Joe Louis >
"Clay should do it within 6 Rounds, but he doesn't punch that hard. I think it take him awhile
to do it, probably 11 Rounds."
Max Schmeling >
"I think Karl will surprise many people. He has looked good in Training, and is much better than
he was 6-Months ago. But I still think the Champion will stop him late. Probably in Round 13."
Sonny Liston >
"Oh Geez. This fight will end early, and I mean very early. Clay should do it in 3-Rounds. If he
doesn't, they should take his belt away."
Ingemar Johansson >
"Mildenberger isn't that good. He's terrible. I would have him out of there in 3-Rounds. Clay
may take longer because he doesn't punch hard. I'll say 7 Rounds."
Joe Frazier {1964 Olympic Champion and Heavyweight Contender} >
"That lefty is both fast and tricky. This will not be as easy a fight for Clay as he thinks. It will
go at least 10 Rounds. But Clay will stop him before the 15th. I'll pick Round 13."
Ernie Terrell {WBA Champion} >
"I'm not really interested in watching comedy shows. This bout is another joke, just like the
Brian London bout. If I have to choose, it is obviously Clay. Probably by the 7th Round.
The German wouldn't last 4-Rounds with me."
Cleveland Williams {Contender and scheduled to fight Cassius Clay next} >
"Well I'll be pulling for Clay, because I'm signed to fight him next. I'm sure Clay will win,
and it will probably take him 8 Rounds. But I hope that Mildenberger takes something
out of him."
Henry Cooper {British Heavyweight}>
"I think it will be a good fight for as long as it lasts. Karl is a game fighter, but he's not a
big puncher. It should be a good fight for 7 or 8 Rounds, before Clay decides to end it.
I'll say Round 10, it won't go much longer than that."

Cassius Clay >
"I plan to come out quickly, and test him right away. I will fight aggressive, and back
him up. With these southpaws, you can't let them take the lead, as their style is
uncomfortable to counter."
"I expect that he'll try to impress the crowd, and be aggressive. We are fighting in his
country, so that his aggression is to be expected. But, he'll leave himself open some time,
and I will strike."
Cassius Clay predicts a 5th Round Knockout.

"I think that I can match him in speed, and that is what I will use. I will back him up by using
many right-jabs, followed by straight left-hands to his body. If I can back him up, I'll win."
"I won't chase him, but I will be aggressive. If I can take him out his rhythm during the first
4-Rounds, he will start to panic. He's a front-runner, and if I can take a few of the first
few Rounds, he will have to fight instead of boxing and dancing."

Re: Karl Mildenberger ~ 'I Had The Formula To Beat Cassius Clay'
~ Final Tune-Ups ~
Wednesday ~ September 7, 1966
Sandy Petrescu's Downtown Gym ~ Frankfurt, Germany
Cassius Clay opened up the 'Final Day' of his Training Camp by hitting the Heavy-Bag
for 2-Rounds.
The Champion then went '2' Slam-Bang Rounds with British Heavyweight - Jack Bodell,
and then '2' brisk Rounds with American Heavyweight - James J. Woody.
Both sparring-partners are southpaws, but the fast-handed Champion was sharp, as he
landed jarring left-hooks and solid straight right-hands on both sparring-mates.
An altercation developed at the Gym, as ABC-TV wanted to broadcast the final-day
sparring-session, but Gym owner {Sandy Petrescu} wanted a fee of {$16,000} for
a paid priveledge to broadcast the sparring-sessions.
Manager - Angelo Dundee said that if ABC-TV was not allowed in to broadcast the session,
he and the World Champion would walk out.
ABC-TV and gym owner Sandy Petrescu worked out a more amicable payment.
After the 2-Hour work-out session, the Champion went outside the Gym and along the street,
and signed autographs for nearly 4500 fans. The Champion charged $1.00 for his signature.
Angelo Dundee {Trainer} >
"We're ready. The next punch that Cassius throws will be in the Ring."
Cassius Clay >
"I have to be careful with southpaws. But it won't take me that long to get adjusted. Maybe
3 or 4 Rounds, then I'll figure out his timing. All I have to do is circle to my right instead of my
left. It won't be a problem."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenger - Karl Mildenberger spent his 'Final Tune-Up' by boxing '4' Rounds with American
Heavyweight - Billy Daniels.
Karl looked very sharp in one if his most impressive sparring-sessions with Billy Daniels. The
German exhibited fast right-hand jabs and excellent movement.
Bruno Mueller {Manager} >
"I am most satisfied with Karl. He has worked hard, and has steadily improved. He's ready.
All we have to do is keep Clay busy, but not by chasing him. By waiting to counter him."
Karl Mildenberger >
"I'm still not where I want to be. But the fight is in 3-Days, and I can't get anymore hard
sparring in. I'll probably shadow-box 4-Rounds tomorrow, and then do some stretching
exercises for the next 3-Days."

Re: Karl Mildenberger ~ 'I Had The Formula To Beat Cassius Clay'
Rounds 1-12....
Another so called "prime" Clay fight that proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Cassius Clay at this time would have posed absolutely no threat to any modern boxers.
And further a proof of the complete farcity of the amazing Ali "reflexes".
I remember at one point, Mildenberger was pasting that fucker too but I haven't seen it for years now and forget the round.

Knowing the attendance and the referee and the names of the judges and the way the judges score the fight . this is excellent information and I appreciate it. I also like knowing about who the handlers of the fighters were and he has also quite accurately posted the various purses of each fighter.

Well if he makes up another false quote or hangs shit on Ali like saying he wants to buy a ticket for his funeral one more time; you and walrus will have to deal with him personally and read his shit instead of being in here cause he is on his second warning and we dont give out three.

I guess he is now getting a warning for it for the second time but to be honest I have not seen him write any of that cruel stuff for quite a long time now

Re: Karl Mildenberger ~ 'I Had The Formula To Beat Cassius Clay'
During Round 1,
Mildenberger realized that he could 'easily' reach the Champion with right-hands to the
mid-section.
But Cassius found out fairly quickly, that Karl was open for quick right-hands over the top,
as he kept his left-hand low when he moved forward.
Round 1 was a good action session.

its really amazing how you got access to both schmeling and Louis's scorecards. Were they actually judges or just sitting at ringside?
