Come-backs in a fight?

[elgoadie]

Name fights where a boxer is getting utterly dominated but bounces back to knock his opponent out. Where he snatches vicotry from the jaws of defeat.

Some of my favs:

Benn - McClellan
Marciano - Walcott 1 (Rocky had been dropped in the first round, and in my opinion was getting outboxed until the thirteenth).

[Russell]

Castro-JDJ is my favorite, no doubt.

[Thread Stealer]

Castro-Jackson 1
Corrales-Castillo 1
Moore-Durelle 1
Gatti-Rodriguez

[AlFrancis]

Barkiey - Hearns 1

[warrior85]

arturo gatti v wilson rodriguez


for me castillo-corrales 1 doesnt qualify for this

[Matienza]

Micky Ward vs Alfonso Sanchez

[ishy]

Julian Jackson-Herol Graham

[Minotauro]

Nigel Benn vs Anthony Logan

[MRBILL]

Mike Weaver KO 15 John Tate in 1980, and Leonard TKO 14 over Hearns in 1981.... Wicked stuff...

[Russell]

Micky Ward vs Alfonso Sanchez

Ward didn't land a SINGLE punch all night. It was like he was in a daze. Merchant was making fun of Ward saying he should be fined for not fighting. Then... BAM.

Sanchez is on the canvas crying from a bodyshot. Literal tears.

The ultimate late comeback has to be LaMotta/DauthuileII.

Unlike Chavez/TaylorI, this fight had LaMotta needing a knockout in the last 10 seconds of a fight with the classic championship rounds in it.

[C. M. Clay II]

Shavers-Tiger Williams

[Mendoza]

Brewster over W Klitschko.

[kickbxn5]

Leonard-Lalonde

[melhear]

Andries-Harding 1

[SgrRyLeonard]

Ben Tackie vs. Roberto Garcia.

[Jear]

Foreman vs Moorer

Saad Muhammad made a career of it

[SuzieQ49]

Brewster over W Klitschko.

LOL a 4 round fight is your choice?


Any fight under 10 rounds shouldnt qualify........


The best I have seen were late dramatic knockouts needed to win a championship fight with seconds left..........LIKE lamotta-daurathille

[Bigcat]

Archie Moore v Yvonne Durrelle...... Unreal.........

YOU'RE the one who laments constantly on Wladimir being one of the best offensive heavyweights in history when he decides to unload. And unload he did against Lamon.

Besides the Mercer fight Wladimir has never unloaded on a fighter like he did Brewster. Brewster's career was more or less ended in those four rounds.

So yes, that is a comeback for the ages.

Bazooka Limon had a ton of them. With that defense and those wide wide lopping punches from his kneecaps and rearend, he was simply going to be behind in a lot of fights. That Choi fight is a good example and even Bethalmy and Navarette as well. Not too many guys can take a hammering round after round and grit their teeth and come out with the W.

Moore v Durelle1 This takes it for me.!

[My dinner with Conteh]

Arnold Taylor (vs romeo anaya) spring immediately to mind, down 4 times, badly cut, produces the big one in round 14.

[ozziebattler]

Andries-Harding 1

Hitman harding dug deep.

Good call, Limon was a fun guy to watch and indeed had a lot of come from behind wins. Speaking of Choi he was way ahead in his fight against Navarette when the Filipino got him out of there in the 11th while being far behind on the cards, great fight that was. Its a real shame Choi had such a terrible chin though as he was a very good fighter with a huge right hand and good boxing skills, I wish I had more footage of him as I liked his style.

[zadfrak]

Me too. I think I have 4 Choi fights and offensively the guys is like a 9.25

When he threw punches they were quick, accurate, and straight as an arrow. But it was like the guy just held his hands up for a defense and didn't roll or parry or anything defensively. Weird. So if a punch gets by his gloves, he was wide open and got hit clean. And he certainly couldn't absorb much but even at that, he'd absorb good for awhile and then the building would just collapse on the guy and the fight'd be over. It wasn't as if anything landed on Choi any different than in previous rounds but they just had a huge effect all of a sudden. Very strange and I just could never see the collapse coming with the guy and usually it appeared as tho his offense was causing the opponent to cave in and they were the one's looking vulnerable and ready to go. That Navarette is a good example of this and it's all Choi and if it's a football game the score is like 27-10. And Rolando is the guy just hanging in there and looks vulnerable. Then he lands--and not spectacular or anything different--& Choi goes.

But that Choi offense must've scared a lot of managers and he was a very dangerous guy to sign a contract to fight.
