Well, since no one is interested, I'll make my guess.

I see Floyd most likely winning by UD, but with a TKO/KO anywhere from the 7th round on a viable possibility if Floyd is on the form and level of determination he showed against Cooper.

Floyd's hand speed and athleticism ultimately would have been too much for Karl.

Mildenberger fights tough through six rounds before fading.

I take Patterson late...he was still a great fighter...and Karl was similar in size...

Karl Mildenberger will give Floyd 'fits' early, and hold a 4-1-1 lead in Rounds
thru 6.

Though Floyd is quicker, Karl is busier with '2' and '3' punch attacks.

Floyd will look to counter with his usual mid-Round explosion, where he would
go with a quick 'left-left' while leaping in.

Round 7 is the turning point, as Karl gets caught with a right-hand lead, and
a leaping-left which staggers him, before going down from a straight-right to the
chin.

Karl will get up by the 5-Count, as he just barely makes it out of the Round, while
on shaky pins.

Floyd will take command in Round 8, and look to put a still dazed 'Milde' away.

But Mildenberger holds on and actually comes back late in the Round 8, and
in Round 9 and makes a real fight of it, when he shakes Floyd with a hard-right
and straight-left to the chin.

But in Round 10, it is 'German Nights Out', as Floyd topples Karl to the canvas 'twice'
with hard right-hands, and then finishes him with a wide left-hook to the chin
at 2:02 of Round 10.

You've got a good computer.
