We surprised the Boxing Sports World Friday Night when Karl 'flattened' American
Billy Daniels with one body punch.

We are now a certified Main Event fighter. Karl is the only 'white' fighter ranked in
the Top 10. He is also the only European ranked with the World Class elite.

He is also the only southpaw boxer campaigning as a Heavyweight. Next up for us,
is the European Championship. We hope to be fighting for that Crown within 2-Months
against either Henry Cooper or Brian London.

Then, it's former Champion - Floyd Patterson, possibly in Sweden. Karl is too fast
for Floyd who is too nimble to cope with Karl. We will take Patterson easy.

Then its Sonny Liston. We might even make Liston an offer now. Karl is a much better
boxer than Liston, and I think that he could defeat him over 15-Rounds. Karl told me
he wants Liston {now}.

People ask me, what about the Dick Richardson bout {where Karl was KO'd in the
1st-Round by a single right-hand to the chin}.

Well, I tell them the truth. Karl was doing just fine by boxing the big Welshman's ears
off for the first 2-Minutes. Then he just walked in too close and got nailed. He was
'caught cold'.

But since then, we have improved on Karl's technical skills. He has listened to instruction,
and Karl is now a skillful technician.
