Here's some info and ratings on Yvan Prebeg whom Gerhard is scheduled to defend his European HW Title against after dispatching(I hope
) Eddie Machen in his next fight.
I've rated Prebeg both as a HW and LHW. Came out much better it seems as the LHW. I'll post files for both.

Prebeg fought the majority of his fights in the Light Heavyweight division, but fought a number of Heavyweight bouts throughout his career. A small sprinkling of middleweight opponents were thrown in. His record against Heavyweights was 11-6-2 with 7KO's. Against LH's and the MW's it was 20-9-3,15KO.
He fought only a couple of LHW's out of the game, Pekka Kokkonen whom he lost to by 4th round KO, and Piero Del Papa who decisioned Prebeg in 15 rounds to who he lost the European LH Title to in Feb. 1970 after having attained that crown in June 1969 against Eddie Avoth.
Heavyweights he fought included wins against Paul Roux who had a decent looking record in the 50's-60's, Buddy Turman, another busy journeyman in the 50's-60's who fought a few "name" HW's, Dave Bailey,Jose Peyre, and Mariano Echevarria. Some that he lost against, Jack Bodell, Jurgen Blin and Karl Mildenberger with whom he battled 15 rounds for the European HW Title in June 1966 only to loose by decision to Karl.
