Notes

Moorer had lost the IBF and WBA titles on November 5, 1994, when George Foreman knocked him out.
The IBF title was vacant after Foreman stepped down, refusing to fight Schulz for a second time. He had won a controversial 12-round decision over the German on April 22, 1995.
Schulz then lost a bout for the vacant crown on December 9, 1995 to South Africa's Francois Botha, who was later disqualified after testing positive for a steroid.
Fight announced on May 13.
Attendance: 21,000 in a stadium where soccer games are usually played.
Moorer earned $3.6 million, Schulz got $1.7 million.
It averaged 11 million viewers in Germany, which was lower than Schulz' previous bout by 7 million.
The fight, which was broadcast live in 40 countries, was the biggest boxing event held in Germany since Muhammad Ali fought Karl Mildenberger on September 10, 1966.
Moorer landed 249 of 546 punches (45.6 percent), and Schulz connected on 245 of 512 punches (47.9 percent). [1]

"I think the decision was OK. I can live with it, because I think Moorer's one of the best fighters around," Axel Schulz said.
