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...

Wilson Kohlbrecher - 1 Overall Rating
Nationality- Germany
b. 1918-11-09
d. 1972-09-01
Career, 1947-54
BoxRec. 021295
Record 15 wins / 11 losses / 5 draws / 8 KO

Kohlbrecher would appear to have had a decent punch but also a somewhat weak chin.

Kohlbrecher's career started out fighting some pretty big hitting German fighters of the 40's. His initial bouts were against LHW's Jean Kreitz(61-10-3,35KO) and Ricard Vogt(54-8-9,34KO). He Ko'd Kreitz then lost a 10 round decision to Vogt. He drew another fight with Vogt, lost a couple bouts to former German HW Champ Walter Neusel and then was TKO'd in 7 by Gene (Tiger) JOnes(46-13-2,28KO) to lead up to a bout with Hein ten Hoff for the German HW Title in July 1950. ten Hoff Ko'd Wilson in the 2nd round.

His fights over the next couple of years included wins over Al Hoosman, Stephane Olek, and Vogt. He lost bouts to Tiger Jones, Karel Sys, and Omelio Agramonte. In November 1952 he went into the ring against Heinz Neuhaus for the European HW Title. Wilson was no match for Neuhaus as he was KO'd in the 4th.

After that Kohlbrecher's career was pretty much finished.

I play tested Kohlbrecher against 1-4 fighters.
