Boxing turnarounds!

[jamamb]

fuking great ko but not really a big turnaround of a fight the winner was losing, dudes had barely got started

incidentally, thats a case of a guy with an otherwise solid chin getting absolutely flattened

[ValMar]

Brewster vs. W. Klitschko might be the best example.

[ValMar]

Chavez Jr. needed a half a round more to beat S. Martinez.

[gilgamesh]

Brewster vs. W. Klitschko might be the best example.

I never actually saw this one, but Ross Purrity was likely even further behind than Brewster wasn't he?

[gilgamesh]

S. Martinez vs. Williams..............

If this kinda thing counts where we're counting a guy reversing the outcome of the 1st bout with a quick KO the 2nd time around. Nothing beats Joe Louis vs Max Schemling. Schmeling schooled Louis 1st fight, Louis f*cking DESTROYED Schmeling in 1 in the 2nd fight.

[jamamb]

i never saw the purrity fight but brewster was taking a brutal pounding. i could kinda see the turnaround coming, lamon was a tough guy and wlad was just unloading and you could see him slowing

I am not sure (it was so long ago), but you might be right.

Is anyone mentioned Briggs vs. Liakhovich ? As I can remember Liakhovich had been ahead (all three judges scores) before the KO at 12.

Totally right on the Briggs fight. It was a miracle finish as I watched in utter disbelief. Briggs was gassed by the second round it seemed and mustered a bit in the last round. Where it came from I have no idea.

I remember he literally had to sit down, and breathe heavily for 5 minutes before he could even celebrate his victory

It was funny knowing all the Asthmatic, and stamina issues that Briggs had always had seeing him somehow pour it on in the 12th like he never had before, and then having to breathe for seemingly forever before finally being able to shout "I'M BACK!!!". I found it amusing.

Concerninig Briggs, his fight against Lewis should be mentioned as a border-line case. Briggs had the two stellar rounds.

[jas80s]

Gatti vs Wilson Rodriguez was a pretty good two way fight, but Rodriguez had Gatti in a lot of trouble (swelling) when Gatti put together a furious rally to close the show.

Corrales was so very close to being stopped when he turned it around on Castillo. It was close on the cards, but the ref had to be getting very close to calling it.

Andries-Harding I

[SenorPipino]

Jerry Quarry, coming out of retirement in 1977, and fighting in slow motion against powder puff puncher Lorenzo Zanon.

A snail slow Quarry got hit with everything and really couldn't do anything in the ring. He was losing round after round.

But Zanon, who was somewhat fragile, began to slow down from his frantic non stop movement.

Quarry finally was able to land a few punches around the 8th round, and an exhausted Zanon folded easily in the 9th.

But Quarry knew his performance sucked and he retired again until the 80s.

Brewster took way more punishment in the fight he won than the rematch. It was brutal.

[littlepug]

Didn’t happen but Galvano was probably seconds away from stopping Benn in the rematch, proper clocked him just before the bell went and Benn was on Queer Street

[littlepug]

Audley stopping Sprott in the 12th

[lazboy]

Danny green vs krys woldarksi (guy was in the super six last year)

Green was up on cards, out jabbing him (but tiring) and bang, lights out rd 11.

Also...agaisnt popular opinion. I don’t think toney Nunn fits the bill. Nun was hardly dominating, it was competitive until the end, I rewatched this fight recently.

[lazboy]

Khan -Danny Garcia although I cant remember if DG was doing ok prior?

[jamamb]

khan won the first two rounds clearly but garcia was coming into it and getting his timing closer to the mark. khan also started to plant his feet too much and garcia was able to get off more shots in range then the first two rounds. i think garcia was actually winning the third round before he landed the kd.

i remember being annoyed that the commentary didnt pick up at all on how garcia was coming into it and instead just kept blathering on about khan masterclass, busting him up etc

Sounds about right - especially the commentary. Not really a turnaround then.

Oh yeah he was definitely taking a shellacking. I was just commenting on how many points behind on the cards Purrity might have been, not speculating on the damage done. The Brewster-Wlad fight is wild.

[gilgamesh]

Khan -Danny Garcia although I cant remember if DG was doing ok prior?

I thought he was losing pretty thoroughly in the first couple of rounds.

[gilgamesh]

James Toney vs Michael Nunn is a great example.

Nunn was winning over the first 7 rounds, then Toney starts slowly timing him, and landing increasingly better shots from Round 8 onward, and finally takes him out in the 11th.

Randall Bailey vs Mike Jones

Jones had won the majority of the rounds in a dull ass bout, but Bailey's well known power bailed him out again when he broke Jones' nose with an uppercut, and proceeded to take him out late in the fight.

[gilgamesh]

Casamayor vs Katsidis

Though Casa had enjoyed his moments throughout the fight it seemed like this was gonna be Katsidis' night, and he was getting the better of the majority of the action when Casamayor finally caught him in the 10th, and took him out.

[Monte Fisto]

Audley Harrison With the huge KO against Michael Sprott in Rd 12. He was in affect fighting with 1 arm and was a long way behind before finding an emphatic punch to end the fight instantly.

[Eolaithe]

Based on what the ring doctor and the referee stated, Littles only needed to survive one more round to win that fight, because Toney was being stopped otherwise if he didn't KO his opponent in the fourth round.

The scorecards are irrelevant when a fighter is only three minutes away from an inevitable loss, don't you agree?

Littles was not handily beating Toney. Your perception that being down on the cards and being badly hurt in the third round somehow equates to Littles handily beating Toney is irrelevant. Stick to the topic, bot.

When Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. entered the 12th round of his first fight against Meldrick Taylor, his defeat seemed inevitable. He had to turn the fight on his head and stop his opponent within the next three minutes, because failure to do so would have resulted in a loss.

When Audley Harrison entered the 12th round of his rematch fight against Michael Sprott, his defeat seemed inevitable. He had to turn the fight on his head and stop his opponent within the next three minutes, because failure to do so would have resulted in a loss.

When James Toney entered the 4th round of his fight against Tim Littles, his defeat seemed inevitable. He had to turn the fight on his head and stop his opponent within the next three minutes, because failure to do so would have resulted in a loss.

In all three contests I listed, the fighters that got stopped simply needed to survive three minutes in order to secure their victories, but they failed to do so, because their opponents managed to “turn the fight on his head.”

I never mentioned Toney being down on the scorecards, but Littles was almost certainly seconds away from gaining victory. Challenge my actual words - don't make things up!
