Iran Barkley was on the verge of being stopped vs Tommy Hearns before turning the tables. Similarly, Tyrell Biggs vs David Bey.
Those are two superb examples.
Botha looked on his way to a big win over Tyson, until...
Oh and Damiani was boxing Mercer's head off, until...

Games had so many great fights away from home I’ve forgotten which one this is
Is this the one he won in Thailand or the one he lost?

Colin Jones v Kirkland Laing.
Jones scored 2 Classic come from behind KOs.
I forget which fight but one of them was so sudden the way Laing was laid out it looked like Laing had disappeared; like he’d been teleported away.

The one he lost when the Thai was all over the place, a sensational finish

Danny Williams when his whole entire arm fell off.
In non-heavies Takashi Miura was always getting outboxed before landing a huge left hand in nearly all of his fights.
Carl Thompson made a career out of it

Immediate fight that came to mind sadly was Eubank vs Watson 2.
Gatti vs Reulas was another though.

How the hell did Laing stay upright after the onslaught in the first fight. Loved watching the Jones boy in finishing mode.
The rematch was the one arrer finish.

As impressive as the finishes were, Jones was hardly about to get KO'd himself, unlike the other examples on this thread.

and Weaver vs Tate... Tate was on his way to a comfortable points win.
Thompson vs Rothman....possibly even Thompson vs Haye and Thompson vs Sellars are fine examples though.
Reulas was looking like stopping Gatti when Arturo turned it around....Eubank was just floored heavy vs a dominant Watson and then....bang.
One of the Price vs Thompson fights the big man looked very close to getting the stoppage...but it wasnt an out of the blue turn around as he gassed

Julian Jackson vs Herol Graham
Jon Thaxton vs Paul Scrap Iron Ryan
But based on the thread brief, the poster who said Corrales-Castillo nailed it.

Anyone know what Carl Thompson is up to now? Seems a balanced guy. I found a few short articles via Google which are mainly reflections on Haye, Nelson and Eubank fights.

Has anyone mentioned Nicky Piper versus Leonzer Barber yet? Crunching left hook from the Kronkman.
