rubber matches where the guy who lost fight 2 won fight 3 + a general issue

[jamamb]

i hear so much of 'so and so figured out so and so' any examples of two guys who fought at least 3 times, and guy who lost fight 2 win fight 3.

also so many other sports you can get stuff like one team winning the first two, but the other team wins the next two, etc and eventually wins the series

why in boxing so often do we act like one win = the winner is ckearly then the superior fighters

I dont think if he someone wins the first two fights , the third fight is classed as a rubber match.
A rubber match is one guy wins the first, the other guy wins the the second. The third fight is the rubber match

[jamamb]

ya, didnt mean to suggest it was, the example from other sports was just given to show how happens all the times in other sports that wins can be exchanged like that

Sprotty lost his first two fights with Danny Williams and won the third; Bobby Chacon lost his first two fights with Ruben Olivares and won the third.

great!

also included can be seres where they split the first 2 and then had a 3rd

i just wonder if too fast ppl conclude that one fghters better than the other.

[bennie]

Ali and Frazier split the first two, Ali and Norton split the first two. Ali won the third. There are thousands of examples of that particular scenario.

i mean where the guy who lost the 2nd won the 3rd

[bennie]

Richard Dunn beat Bunny Johnson, lost to Bunny Johnson, then beat him for the British heavyweight title.

Tom Collins lost 2 back to back fights to Dennis Andries then won the third before losing 2 more, again back to back

Robbie Regan v Francis Ampofo.

Robbie beat Ampofo in his second fight out pointing him over 6 rounds. They met again around 18 months later and this time Ampofo stopped Regan in the 11th round in a British title fight. They then met a 3rd time 3 months later again for the British flyweight title where Regan out pointed Ampofo over 12 rounds.
