    I don't see a KO in the footage. The endings are exactly similar in both films, with the trainer hugging a valiant but beaten Hein Ten Hoff.

    It is the Hoff fight - checked in a book I have called "Unseen Archives BOXING Photographs by The Daily Mail" - same fight same opponent and the fight did go to a decision - it wasn't stopped - in the Daily Mail report after the contest "the 6'6" German paid tribute to his opponents punching power, which broke his nose in the first round."
