Joe Louis >
"Karl Mildenberger is putting up a much better fight than anyyone thought. Many
expected him be out of here in the 1st or 2nd Round."

Howard Cosell >
"The Champion won the 1st-Round, and the 2nd-Round was close. But Mildenberger
has done very well in the last 2-Rounds. This is a surprisingly even bout."
