Who was that Masked man?

German boxer Henry Maske (31-1, 11 kos) proved recently that where there's a will, there's a way, as he waited over 10 years to step back into the ring to avenge his only pro loss. Maske, a 6 foot 4 cruiserweight, lost a split decision and his IBF light heavyweight title to WBA champion Virgil Hill (50-6, 23 kos) in Munich, Germany in 1996. However, Maske was never satisfied with the result and figured he'd been given a raw deal by the judges, even though the fight was in his homeland. What Maske achieved on March 31st of this year, was one of boxing's all time greatest comebacks. The fight took place in the same stadium as the original bout and this time Hill was the WBA cruiserweight champion of the world. After not fighting professionally for over 10 years, Maske stepped back into the ring in Munich and in a fight of 43 year olds, beat Hill by a rather easy 12-round unanimous decision by scores of 117-110, 117-110, and 116-113. Maske tuned up by holding a couple of bouts in the gym behind closed doors, but after being out of the ring for over 10 years and coming back to beat a world champion, it was quite an achievement. The only negative side to the Cinderella story is that Hill's title wasn't on the line during the bout. After the victory, and amid rumours of a rubber match, Maske vowed it would be his last fight. Let's see how he feels about it in 10 year's time.
