Mino was 25-0 thru mid 1959 including a 10 round decision against a near finished LHW great Joey Maxim, an 8th round KO win over Franco Cavicchi who was in the latter stages of his career and a 10 round decision over Joe Bygraves who also was on the downside of his career. Bozzano then in late 1950-60 lost 2 of his next 3 fights, one a 2nd round KO by Zech. Mino ran his record to 31-2 when he Oct. 1962 he went up against Sante Amonti for the Italian HW Title. Amonti KO'd Bozzano in 3 sending him into retirement.

I set Bozzano at "Prime", Zech still at "Beginning". I debated some about making Bozzano a 2 overall even though the game calculated a 1 with the ratings. But then I looked more at his career and seeing the few "names" he went up against compared to say even Zech, I said no he needed to stay at a 1.
In real life, Zech KO'd Bozzano in the 2nd round. In my replay, Bozzano lasted a little longer in the scheduled 8 rounder, going into the 5th before the fight was stopped at the 2:02 mark giving Zech a TKO victory.....
Next fight 1961-01-20 against Spaniard Jose Gonzales Sales, Zech's first opponent with some real notoriety about him.
