Wilson Kohlbrecher-Dutch Culbertson 1951

Post by Palais »

It's a big confusion about this card;
(The Ring, August 1951);
"At Krefeld, in the Ruhr district, 15.000 fans turned up to see the local matador, German cruiserweight champion Heinz Sachs, succesfully defend his laurels against Hans Strelecki, with whom he reached a draw decision after 12 rounds. Sachs failed to convince his supporters who bawled for Strelecki as winner".

This bout is listed here as in Essen, 05-13

The undercard;

Wilson Kohlbrecher-Dutch Culbertson, W PTS (Listed 04-13 in Essen)
(DeLisa, CBZ, has Culbertson a points winner in Essen 05-14)

Al Bishop-Streicher, W PTS (clearly) (not listed here)

Leo Starosch-Tommy Bell KO 8 (listed 05-14 in Essen)

Another bout; Herbert Gläser-Hans Weber, PTS 4, is listed in BoxRec, (not reported by The Ring), along with Sachs-Strelecki, 05-13 in Essen.

Query; IS THIS TWO DIFFERENT CARDS, or just a mess of different sources and entries?

The description of Krefeld looks reliable.
