[Rocco Del Sesto]

Next up Manfred Markgraf. File in DB I have was the TBCB3 DB Team rating. Someone rated him originally I think as part of the Manfred Ackers opponent ratings. I did some of them but others did some. Without looking not sure about Markgraf. Anyway I did tweek the TBCB3 file a bit upping his HP to 3 and bring his 3pt punches up a little. Seem to more consistently bring his number of KO's closer to 2 in testing.

Found a photo of him doing some kind of construction work on a German website.

A website found de-linkfang-0rg showed the results of elimination competitions for the formation of the German boxing team for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome which took place July 1-3.

In the heavyweight division in the Semifinals, Manfred Markgraf scored a points win over Heinz Pingel and Gunter Siegmund was a points winner over Herbert Bruchhauser in the other semifinal. Then in the final, Siegmund was the point winner over Markgraf. The little bit of video of this fight, Markgraf was mostly just covering up in close with Walker doing all the punching.
