i'm guessing its the much later rematch in 1948.

 

I will say more about this fighter tomorrow!

 

It's the rematch.

 

mmm.....this was posted on August 26, 2009 on the Hamburger Abendblatt site.

"Today 75 years ago in Germany boxing idol Max Schmeling in a heavyweight fight against Bochum Walter Neusel."

accompanied by this photo..

what i am looking at here is the bandage on the right knee...and an outdoor venue.


also see a photo at the start here....again bandaged right knee and same trunks / socks etc...

bumping for janitor who always has something interesting to contribute

 

I have just checked the film - The picture is from the second fight.

 

Neusel looks awful there.More like Brian Nielson in condition.

 

Oh yes, like Brian Nielsen defeating Tim Witherspoon, Tony Tubbs and Phil Jackson?!

 

did he have a bandage on the right knee in both fights ?...and both were outdoors ?.

or have those websites referenced the wrong photo in each instance.

thanks for taking time to look it up.

 

Witherspoon was only 42 then ,a marvellous achievement.

If you think Neusel looks in shape in that photo you need a guide dog.

 

Facially he looks more like early 40's, though film in those days did people no justice.

 

The second fight was in1948, Neusel was born in 1907.

 

are all the photo examples i gave....3 of them... all from the 2nd fight ??

makes it very awkward not being able to embed photos here any more.

 

Well that certainly explains the bad photo day

 

I don't know, but judging by his physical appearance I would say yes.
