Karl Mildenberger
a strange fighter very inconsistent, but also capable of some very good performances against good opposition.
FOULS - Often. Was a dirty fighter, known to be both awkward and nasty, especially with his head.
FIGHTING OUTSIDE -3. His favourite tactic was to fight on the retreat, then close the distance unexpectedly using his southpaw stance to sow confusion.
COVER UP -2. He was sometimes ver difficult to finish off, so should at least be a 2 here.
GO FOR KNOCKOUT - 1. This was his last thing on his mind usually, he didnt have the power to make this strategy viable.
DRAW POWER -4. Had a popular following in his native Germany.
CONDITIONING -9. He was very inconsistent with the problems seemingly only in his head, any fighter who can frustrate Ali for 12 rounds but lost to a shocking 1st round ko to Dick Richardson must be deemed inconsistent.
INTELLECT - 8. Up two. Hw was quite a clever patient fighter, a counterer who befuddled fighters with his stance.
CONTROL VS BOXER - 11. He was one of those guys who did outstandingly well against boxers (Ali. Folley. Machen) but performed terribly against sluggers (Bonavena, Martin, etc). Im going to leave his slugger rating at 9 and up his boxer rating to give him a chance to last against Ali.
RECOVERY -4. Down two. His chin and recovery powers were strange, not hurt that often but when he was he was often down multiple times which usually led to his defeat.
AGRESSIVNESS - 7. Down one. More a cautious, annoying counterer playing into his southpaw style than a come foward fighter.
ENDURANCE - 9. Up one. His stamina was good and had to be as he usually played the waiting game with opponenents.
DEFENSE -2. Up one level. He had a good defense, again stemming from his cautious southpaw style, quite difficult to nail cleanly.
HITTING POWER -3. Up one. Just tweaking this slightly to bring it in line with his ko percentage, not a big hitter by any means.
PUNCHING -38. Up one Level. This brings him to average speed and accurac in my universe which I feel is about right for him.
COUNTERPUNCHING -40. Up one level. He was more a counterer due to his stance and this is reflected here.
OVERALL RATING -7. Up two. An improvement so he is now a mino threat to the title, especially against boxers who he excelled against, against punchers he will struggle quite badly as his chin and style are not up to the job against them, he should be though a top ten contender and this makes him one in the competative 60's.
