Frankie Daniels vs. Paul Kraus (1st meeting)

Frankie Daniels 199 lbs beat Pauli Kraus 210 lbs by TKO in round 7 of 8

• Date: 1962-11-30
• Location: Messesporthalle, Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

For 6 rounds Paul "Bomber" Kraus made heroic attempts to KO the American Frankie Daniels who was having his 14th fight in Europe since settling here in 1960. But Daniels, a 69-fight veteran who had met the likes of Eddie Cotton, Archie Moore, Sonny Liston and Cleveland Williams, was far too seasoned to get caught by The Bomber's wild swings. In the 7th, Kraus simply ran out of gas and gave up the chase. He had now 9 wins, 4 losses and 2 draws.

A rematch the following year ended in a 8 round draw.
