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

[Max Power]

I am a bit late to the thread so dunno if it's been discussed but which bond girl was she again??

Was it Mary Goodnight from The Man with the Golden Gun?

Absolute hottie! One of the better ones.

Seems a little weird getting a hard on over bond girls that still look ageless on film but are old enough to be my grandmother lol

'The Man with the Golden'

Released; December 1974

Mary Goodnight > A 32 year-old astoundingly stupid blonde British Agent.

I would rate Britt Ekland's movie performance as a 34-B.

HAAAARhahahaha

That's brilliant Bill!

General Analysis

Round 1 >
Was fairly even, until Oscar scored a 'flash-knockdown' on Karl at the {2:18 Mark} by catching him with
a thudding 'double' left-hook to the head. Karl was up almost immediately {2-Count}, and fought on.

Rounds 2 and 3 >
Were fought mostly on 'even ground'.

Round 4 >
Karl fought a solid Round here, and was well on way to winning the session until he got caught at the end
of the Round by a crunching left-hook high on the forehead at the {2:52 Mark}. Karl again was up immediately
at the {1-Count}.

Round 5 >
Karl again fought well here, and stalled Oscar's bull rushes. At the end of the Round, Oscar hit Karl low {3-Times}.
At the end of the Round, Referee - Harry Krause penalized Oscar {1-Point} for low blows.

Round 6 >
A solid Round for Karl.

Round 7 >
Oscar the was the aggressor here, and dropped Karl with a booming straight right-hand to the chin at the {1:25 Mark}.
Oscar kept up the pressure, and jarred Karl several more times during the Round. Clearly a 'dominant' and {+2 Point}
Round for Oscar.

Round 8 >
A good Round for Oscar, as he displayed his strength.

Round 9 >
The best complete Round for Karl, as he badly hurt and staggered Oscar with a left-hand at the {2:20 Mark}.

Round 10 >
Karl was having a good Round here, especially over the second-half of the session. But he got caught by a hard
left-hook at the {2:50 Mark} and went down again {it was his 4th visit to the canvas}. Karl was up at the
4-Count, and was 'dazed' at the Bell.

Round 11 >
Oscar was the aggressor, and Karl was forced to stay on the defensive.

Round 12 >
Oscar the aggressor and was in command throughout.

Shut the fuck up Bill! LOL

I will take that special delivery any time. I can even go to pick it up. She doesn't even have to waste her gasoline driving to my house. Plus Master is too busy for her right now.

"Well, Mr. Brockton Block Buster. There is more to you than meets the eye."

"Let me put is this way. I'm very impressed."

"Now let me give you that 'very' special delivery."

December 30, 1967

Sportspalast ~ Berlin, Germany

European Heavyweight Championship

* Karl Mildenberger ~ 52-4-3 {19 KO's} ~ 6' 1 1/2" ~ 205 lbs. ~ {Age; 30 years, 1 month}
vs.
* Gerhard Zech ~ 33-6-3 {20 KO's} ~ 6' 6" ~ 224 lbs. ~ {Age; 29 years, 6 months}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ The Skinny ~

Karl Mildenberger wants to get back into the Top Tier of the Heavyweights, with plans for a
World Title challenge in mid-1968.

In his previous bout, Karl lost a 12-Round Decision {and suffered '4' knockdowns} to
Oscar Bonavena in the Quarter-Finals of the WBA Heavyweight Eliminator on September 16, 1967.

For Karl, this will be his 6th Title Defense of his European Crown.

This will be 2nd-time that Karl will face his German countryman - Gerhard Zech. Both of these
southpaws fought 2-Years earlier {November 26, 1965}, where Karl won a 'dull' and lackluster
15-Round Decision.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Mildenberger Wins'

'Mildenberger Retains European Heavyweight Title'

Karl Mildenberger using a sharp right-jab and quick left-hand leads won a 'solid' 15-Round Decision
over German countryman - Gerhard Zech.

The 30 year-old Mildenberger {205 lbs.} was by far the more accurate puncher, and he opened a
deep cut over the right-eye of Gerhard Zech {224 lbs.} in Round 3.

Mildenberger kept the pressure on Zech during the middle-Rounds, especially in Rounds 6, 7 and 8
where he visibly hurt the 6' 6" tall Zech with hard straight left-hands to the chin.

Badly behind on Points, Zech did have a good session in Round 9, where he bloodied Mildenberger's
nose with a hard right-hook.

Zech also fought well during Round 10. But, Mildenberger went back to good boxing during
Rounds 11, 13 to secure a solid points lead.

Zech did put forth a good effort in Rounds 14 and 15.

The 'sole scoring' Referee carded the bout {71-67} or {8-4-3 in Rounds} for Karl Mildenberger.

~ Heavyweight Happenings ~


Karl Mildenberger >

Karl was set to fight American Leotis Martin on April 5th.

If Karl wins, he's in line for a chance to fight the winner of the April 30th bout between
Jimmy Ellis vs. Jerry Quarry bout for the 'vacant' WBA Heavyweight Championship.

Wolfgang Mueller {Manager}

After we get by Leotis Martin, we're putting in a request with the WBA to fight the winner
of the Jimmy Ellis vs. Jerry Quarry 'WBA Championship' bout.

We think we can hold the bout here in Germany, for August 1968.

Joe Frazier >

World Champion - Joe Frazier and Manager- Yancey Durham visited London, England in
early-April 1968, and where 'weighing' the offers, which included a bout with Karl Mildenberger.

Yancey Durham stated they were indeed interested in a bout with German - Karl Mildenberger,
but just not in Germany.

Yancey Durham {Manager} >

We're looking at bouts with ;
* Floyd Patterson
* Boone Kirkman
* Eduardo Corletti
* Manuel Ramos

We may defend against Karl Mildenberger in July 1968, if Mildenberger gets by Philadelphia's
Leotis Martin when they fight on April 5, 1968.

Festhalle ~ Frankfurt, Germany

{#8} Karl Mildenberger ~ 53-4-3 {19 KO's} ~ 6' 1 1/2" ~ 205 lbs. ~ Reach; 74" ~ {Age; 30 years, 1 month}

{#12} Leotis Martin ~ 24-3-0 {14 KO's} ~ 6' 1" ~ 193 lbs. ~ Reach; 76" ~ {Age; 29 years, 1 month}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ The Skinny ~

This bout is billed as a World Heavyweight Elimination bout. The word is, 'if' German Heavyweight - Karl Mildenberger
wins, he will be offered a bout with Heavyweight Champion - Joe Frazier.

Joe Frazier is in attendance to 'scout' both fighters.

Mildenberger, who is the #8 WBA-ranked Heavyweight, last fought 3-Months ago {December 30, 1967} where he
won a 15-Round Decision over Gerhard Zech, in defense of his European Heavyweight Crown.

If Philadelphia Heavyweight - Leotis Martin wins, he will be back in line for a bout with the winner of the WBA
Heavyweight Championship bout between Jerry Quarry vs. Jimmy Ellis {set for April 30, 1968}

Leotis Martin was the #8 WBA-ranked Heavyweight in July 1967, but a loss {L TKO 9} to Jimmy Ellis in the
WBA Elimination tournament on Augst 5, 1967 set Leotis back a notch.

Then back on November 27, 1967 > Leotis was 'upset' {L Spilt Dec 10} by #10 WBA-ranked Light-Heavyweight
Roger Russell in a Philadelphia 'grudge match'. The loss dropped Leotis to #12 WBA.

Leotis has been 'idle' for 4-Months.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ Pre-Fight Chatter ~

Karl Mildenberger >
I expect to win. Leotis Martin is a good puncher, but he is not a good boxer. I will use my better technical skills
to out-box him, and win a Decision.

After my win, I plan {expect} a bout with World Champion - Joe Frazier for August 1968. It can be held here in
Germany or in America {Philadelphia or Madison Square Garden, New York}.

If I can't get a bout with Joe Frazier, I will probably defend my European Championship against Henry Cooper,
and then make a move for the WBA Championship for the end of the year {1968}.

Leotis Martin >
Nobody wants to fight me in the United States. Or they offer me such a little fight purse, that it's not worth the
effort.

That loss to Roger Russell last year {November 30, 1967} was a 'bad decision'. Everybody in Philadelphia
knows that. But that is all forgotten now. I came here to not only win, but to 'Knockout' Mildenberger in front
of his German fans. I'll have him out of there by the 6th Round.

Then it's Joe Frazier. He's been ducking me for 2-Years now. All I want is a chance, no games. He and his
Manager {Yancey Durham} are always making excuses. They won't fight me.

Leotis Martin>

"I know Sonny owed a lotta money to some cats in Henderson, Nevada. He fought hard and was beating me, then suddenly from 3 rows behind the timekeeper someone yelled 'Sonny on the Money!", and then Liston left himself wide open for my KO punch. Just didn't seem right."
