Heavyweights who fought in International Titles
Here's another one from the HW's I'm working on that fought in various international title fights...
Kurt Schiegl - 2 Overall Rating
Nationality- Austria
b.
d.
Career, 1946-56
BoxRec. 034768
Record 18 wins / 12 losses / 1 draws / 10 KO
Career started out with a loss and a win against Jo Weidin who was going into his 2nd and 3rd career bouts. AFter a 4-2 start, Schiegl fought Hein Wiesner(0-1-2) for the Austrian HW Title. Kurt lost a 12 round decision. Nothing a whole lot noteworthing the next couple years. He did KO in 7 Carl Nielsen and drew for 10 rounds with Wilson Kohlbrecher. In August 1951 Kurt squared off against Wiesner again, now a blistering 3-2-2, for the Austrian Title. This time Schiegl stood victorious with a 12 round decision.
That was the 2nd win in a 10-1-0 run up through July 1954 that included wins over Bobby Warmbrunn, Heinz Seelisch(17-11-9), and Werner Wiegand(24-5-5). In October of 1954 he fought Neinz Neuhaus for the European Heavyweight Title. Neuhaus KO'd Schiegl in the 3rd. In his next bout he fought a young Ingemar Johansson(7-0-0 then), Ingemar KO'd Kurt in the 5th.
Only a couple other noteworthy fights after that, both losses. A 10 round decision loss to Franco Cavicchi and a 1st round TKO to Dick Richardson in Schiegl's last career fight.
I play tested Kurt against 1-5 rated fighters. That may be a bit high going with 5's maybe even 4's in the random mix of fights scheduled. I was kind of iffy on that looking at his opponents. With that mix if fighters though I was getting average around 16 wins/12 Losses/9.5KO's and 7.5 times him stopped for 31 fight sets. Kurt was stopped 8 times in his career.
Enjoy...
