Karl Mildenberger ~ 'I Had The Formula To Beat Cassius Clay'

[Bill Paxtom]

~ After Bout Comments ~

Champion - Cassius Clay

"I hurt my right-hand in Round 3 {2:03 Mark}, when I caught him in the jaw. I think I may
have broke it. That is why I couldn't get him out of there."

He's very tricky. He gave me a lot of angles, and he comes in with an awkward rush. It was
a good fight. He deserves a rematch."

"Mildenberger hit me more than anybody else has. He's much better than I thought."

"I lost to '2' southpaw in the Amateurs. Both Amos Johnson and Johnny Hamilton beat me.
They were very difficult to figure out."

"Mildenberger hurt me '4-Times' in the bout. He hurt me 'twice' in the 3rd-Round, and I
actually saw 'stars'. In Round 9 > he caught me with a good right-hook to the chin at the
{1:20 Mark} that backed me up into the corner."

"He also hit me with a good body punch in Round 10 {0:48 Mark}, and it felt like a knife going
through my sides. He caught me good with that straight left-hand."

"At first I thought that Mildenberger would be lucky to last a couple of Rounds. But he
got better in Training, and I figured that he would make it thru 10 Rounds."

"Mildenberg won a couple of Rounds solidly, and won a few other by a razor's edge. He
surprised a lot of people."

"The Challenger was determined, and showed tremendous courage. He fought a good fight,
and he shook up Clay 'two times' with good punches."
