Yeah Schreck means fright or terror in German. Funny I've just been researching Mike's record and found a few new fights!
I think it's him. The word Schreck means Terror Max Schreck played a Vampire Writer Stephen King also adopted a Schreck-like vampire for his villain in Salem's Lot, and it inspired the character of Radu, the evil vampire in the Subspecies video series. Max Schmeling was German, so was Mike Schreck Phil Mickelson, Karl Mildenberger and Mike Schreck were all Southpaws.
1. Schreck means terror in German 2. A secondary meaning of sinister is left or of the left side--In the Middle Ages, lefthanders were sometimes seen as agents of the devil. Schreck was a lefthander. 3. The key clues here were "terror", German, lefty, and vampire. 4. Schreck defeated heavyweight champions Tommy Burns and Marvin Hart.
My house is being remodeled since the middle of December and I had to be with several of the workers all day today. Now where finally coming to an end, I hope.
No. They were probably about the same age. I am not certain what is really known about Mike's origins. If you mean my reference to his father being a terror also, I am just assuming that his father's name was also Schreck.
Schreck was very ackward (cant spell!) sometimes out of condition and involved in some fishy fights late on.
He certainly had some credentials, though, with a win over Burns, two ko's of Hart, and a ko of Gardner. A loss here or there seems to have been all the excuse Burns needed to avoid him while champion, despite the logic of fighting a man with his record who held a win over Tommy himself.
