Come from behind knockouts

[margaret thatcher]

On the weekend Azinga Fuzile boxed Shavkat Rakimov's head off for 7.5 rounds, only to then get brutally folded in the 8th

I have always liked this type of outcome for the pure drama of such a big turn of events.

Any come from beind you can think of , no matter what the level, list here so I can note it

[margaret thatcher]

This is Fuzile-Rakimov btw

[Boxerbeetle]

Froch- Taylor is the first that always springs to mind. Fvcking epic finish

[margaret thatcher]

Ya, that was a great one

[chiggsy]

Carl daniels vs julio cesar vssquez

Daniels absolutely boxed his head off for ten rounds.....and then in round 11 got done.

[gilgamesh]

Controversial of course, but Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor

Wasn't Tua behind to David Izon? I know he was behind against Fres Oquendo

John Molina coming back against Mickey Bey was fun. Bey was boring as sh*t.

[smiling assassin]

I can't remember it well but wasn't Derry Matthews well behind against Tommy coyle before he caught him with that left hook

[gilgamesh]

Foreman vs Moorer is one of the more famous ones of recent decades. The knockout itself isn't the most spectacular to behold, but Foreman was definitely WAY Behind, and couldn't win any other way.

[gilgamesh]

By the way. I know he wasn't in the real world with people with eyes, but was Buster Douglas officially behind on the cards at the time he knocked out Tyson?

Seems like the kinda thing Don King would've had going on. Especially considering Tyson was the sports biggest star and cash cow, plus he had dropped Buster in the 8th. By all logic he had lost at least 6 or 7 of the first 9 rounds, but I'll bet the scorecards didn't reflect that.

[Ruthless-RKO]

By the way. I know he wasn't in the real world with people with eyes, but was Buster Douglas officially behind on the cards at the time he knocked out Tyson?

Judge: Ken Morita 87-86
•Judge: Larry Rozadilla 82-88
•Judge: Masakazu Uchida 86-86


Was a split draw before round 10..

Tyson was only ahead by 1 point on 1 card.. Douglas was wide on the other and the 3rd had it even.

[Dirk Kelly]

Would you call Ali knocking out Foreman as a come from behind?

Williams KOing Mark Potter and if I remember rightly Sprott was handling Harrison well in their second fight before big Audley put him to sleep when you thought sprott was going for the KO.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Mike weaver v John tate, the best ever.

Seconds from victory tate is knocked spark out winning by a country mile, in the 15th round of a WBA heavyweight title fight.

[gilgamesh]

Archie Moore vs Yvonne Durelle has gotta be one of the all time classic examples of this.

Moore dropped 3 times early in the fight, and struggling badly obviously comes back to drop Durelle 3 times himself, and stop him late in the fight.

About as dramatic as it comes right there for a defending Champion. You'd seldom even get the chance to see these kinda feats in the modern era as a 3rd knockdown would probably cause a stoppage in favor of Durelle if the same fight were fought now.

John David Jackson against Jorge Castro, won't spoil it but you have to watch it, it's pretty incredible stuff.

Here's the last round - One eye shut, literally one punch from being stopped and the comeback of comebacks.

[gilgamesh]

Julian Jackson vs Herol Graham

All of Graham's good work comes crashing down in the blink of an eye

[vidal]

Julian Jackson vs Herol Graham

All of Graham's good work comes crashing down in the blink of an eye

I was a massive Graham fan and was absolutely devastated...........

[orbtastic]

I was just going to say the same, Graham was probably only a couple of punches from the win.

Chiquita Gonzalez vs Samon Sorjaturong
Vince Pettway vs Simon Brown

[stujones]

Barkley vs Hearns 1 - early I know but Hearns was dominating.

The one that always springs to mind for me is Tate vs Weaver.

Leonard vs Hearns 1 also.

[margaret thatcher]

John David Jackson against Jorge Castro, won't spoil it but you have to watch it, it's pretty incredible stuff.

Here's the last round - One eye shut, literally one punch from being stopped and the comeback of comebacks.

'We're closing in on the end'

BOOM , yes we are

[orbtastic]

Gatti/Ruelas was another where one was probably a couple of punches from being stopped but it was fairly close. He was also on the way to losing against Rodriquez before landing that monster hook too.

Dauthuille/LaMatta is an obvious one from the archives.

MSM is another human highlight reel, he has so many come from behind wins it's hard to know where to start. The Lopez and Johnson fights I guess.

[chiggsy]

Bruno vs bonecrusher smith

[Gazmac81]

if you believe him " every fight that Amir Khan has lost by Knockout"

[MightyWarrior]

Colin Jones Kirkland Laing

British welter title, miles behind on points and Jones with one punch knocks out Laing - in the ninth round both times. Crazy

Once with a left hook, second time with the right hand. BOOM

[gilgamesh]

Julian Jackson vs Herol Graham

All of Graham's good work comes crashing down in the blink of an eye

I was a massive Graham fan and was absolutely devastated...........

I've been there. I was devastated when Jose Luis Castillo had what seemed a sure fire, hard earned victory in a great fight snatched away in the final moments.

[Boxerbeetle]

Would you call Ali knocking out Foreman as a come from behind?

Hmmm, good question. Technically it was, but I wouldn’t call it that (it that makes sense )
