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

[Bill Paxtom]

OCD Karl Mildenberger marathon Thread, 2,500 hits and still going..............

Thanks 'Triple B'

Fight Facts >

Angelo Dundee scored Round 1 ...... {5-3} for Oscar Bonavena

Oscar floored Karl Mildenberger with the 'first' 2 punches he landed in Round 1.

Cassius Clay, needed nearly '5' full Rounds to drop the 'chinny' Karl.

A testament, that Cassius was a 'true' fraud of a puncher.

Round 4 ........... {5-4 } > Oscar Bonavena
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelo Dundee >

"I scored it for Oscar {5-4}. Even though he scored the 'flash-knockdown', Karl had the Round won
up until the last few seconds."

"Oscar is rough when he gets in close. He's getting away with a few clubbing-punches behind the head."

"Mildenberger's corner is complaining to Referee - Harry Krause about the 'knockdown'. They're saying
that Karl was hit behind the head {neck area}. I agree with them on that."

[brocktonblockbust]

why would Dundee agree about that, Bill? Cassius "The Cheat" Ali used to grab behind the neck and push down on the head. Dundee is a hypocrite and Clay-Ass-Licker
