~ Karl Mildenberger Dumps American In Third ~

German Heavyweight - Karl Mildenberger proved he is worthy of a High-Ranking as he demolished
Amercian - Billy 'The Barber' Daniels with a 'single' body-punch in Round 3.

The southpaw German was in control from the Opening-Bell, and raked the tall and lanky Daniels
with 'jolting' right-hands and left-hooks throughout the first 2-Rounds.

In Round 3, Mildenberger went after Daniels with a torrid-pace, backing him up to the Ropes.
Then the German delivered a thunderous left-hook to the ribs.

Daniels went down on his knee's, and then went to a sitting position on the canvas while the
Referee counted him out at 1:17 of Round 3.
