Description
Considered one of the great knock-out artists of the early 20th century, Young Otto (Arthur Susskind) set the record for most consecutive 1st round knock-outs. He is credited with scoring 16 straight first rounders in the early 1900s. [1] His record stood until 2006 when Edwin Valero of Venezuela scored 18 straight one round knock-outs. Otto reportedly scored a total of 42 first round knock-outs in his entire career.
Otto became a well-respected boxing referee after he retired from boxing.
