Saint Pat,

I have alot on Thad Spencer, I could do a thread.

More on Karl 'Milde' Mildenberger -

After a sparring session in September 1966 at the Hotel Weigand in Bad Soden, Germany -
witnessed by former Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis.

"I've seen enough, this is painful to watch. The guy drops his right hand, and stays 'squared up',
like he's not sure if he wants to fight southpaw or right-handed. He's right in front of you,
asking to be hit with the straight right hand.'

'What he should do, is to keep sticking the right jab out there, while trying to get into position
to throw his good left hand to the body. Karl is not a natural fighter, but he does appear to
be aggressive, and that alone will make for a good fight for 5 or 6 Rounds.'

'If I fought him, he'd be lucky to last 3-Rounds. I will imagine that he will give Clay
some trouble for 5 or 6 Rounds, before the Champion starts dropping in right hands.
I will be suprised if the German makes it through 8 Rounds.'

That would be great on Thad -- no hurry of course. Please continue with this thread, very interesting on a 'Euro' who is mostly forgotten this day and age.

The win over Billy Walker was actually an 8th round stoppage, to make things even better.
