Hinteregger boxed superbly, winning every round and showering Dicky with an assortment of punches from every angle. However, Dicky, now 4-29-2 (1), was nothing but tough - he had only suffered six losses inside the distance. The Slovak always looked for surprise punches, but except on one occasion, when he drew Hinteregger into a macho-thing exchange, impressed by taking the veteran's precise shots. There was a funny exchange in the Austrian corner after the sixth round, when 'The Cougar' moaned "What the hell is keeping him up? My hands already hurt from hitting him so much!", to which manager (and cutman) Olaf Schroeder replied: "Nah, that's just age creeping in. Just go on punching!".

Now was that the final curtain, as previously stated by Schroeder? Both the German manager and Hinteregger did not want confirm this for sure. "On Monday, I am back in the gym!," Hinteregger said without neither Schroeder nor trainer Johann Senfter protesting. "Let's put it this way: I've had talks with the Austrian Boxing Federation president Willibald Palatin and he is very fond of the idea of Gotti finally bowing out in early '08 with a bigger event, maybe even some kind of title fight. That would definately be a great opportunity to finish a career in real style, so, yes, we do seriously consider this," said Schroeder.
