    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..

    http://www.abendblatt.de/img/hamburg/crop105481785/6818721505-ci3x2l-w620/max-HA-Hamburg-.jpg


    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...

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

    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.

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