The Big Men of Boxing a Retrospective

THORNER AHSMAN - HW Sweden
Offering up a little redo of this Swedish heavyweight from the late 50's-60's. Didn't fight long but a hand injury apparently decided the early end of his career.
I had a rating from the TBCB3 DB Team but his name was spelled Thoerner Aahsman? Not sure why. I think Mike Myers originally rated him way back when. I didn't make a separate rating but I adjusted a little bit the ratings because in my play testing his KO's were coming out around 3 per and his W/L slightly under.
I Lowered his Punches Missed from 64 to 61
Raised his HP 3 to 4
3Pt Jabs adjusted 2 to 3
2Pt Combinations lowered 17-16
After that I was getting pretty decent replication of his record.
I also did some updating of his Bio information from what I had.
Career Record: W11(KO 5) / L3(KO 2) / D2

Unknown information has been left blank.

Birth Name: Gustav Edgar Torner Ahsman

DOB and DOD from a Wikipedia site on Thoerner.

Represented Sweden in the 1956 Olympics. He defeated Patrick Sharkey of Ireland by third round KO but then lost to Lev Mukhin of the Soviet Union by first round KO.

Swedish national heavyweight champion 1954,55, and 57. He boxed for Landala AK Boxing Club in Gothenburg.

The Wiki page on BoxRec notes that Thoerner retired in 1962 after he won a fight over Belgian Jose Peyre but Ahsman broke his thumb in the early rounds and underwent an operation after.
