So when a fighter is winning handily and then it's turned on it's head, literally.

Tate/Weaver and Castro/Jackson are the first that come to mind.

Will have to check the Toney one, was he well behind then?

The ref and the doctor threatened to stop the fight because of a bad cut. They said they'd only allow Toney to compete for one more round, which is all James needed to force the stoppage.
Also, Julio Cesar Chavez's last-second KO victory over Meldrick Taylor.

Surely a post like this belongs in the history section. Isn't that your mo for these threads? You're slipping verlichte, eo would never let a thread like this go without whining.

George Foreman vs. Michael Moorer.
Juan Manuel Marquez KO 6 vs. Manny Pacquiao (after a tricky start for the PacMan, the Filipino had gained the winning momentum of the fight, with the Mexican appearing to struggle).

Thanks I've just checked that fight now. I can see Toney was desperate to get it done. It's great reminder of seeing Toney, quick and in shape.

Tate Weaver was the one that came to my mind first. I was in England when that fight happened. I was literally screaming when that hook put Tate down.

I thought this OP meant career wise. Mike Weaver is in that category too. He had Holmes in trouble and had a version of the title. Before that, he managed to lose to both Bobicks and even worse.

I did Mr. Sunshine. My first sentence addressed reading the subject heading. I didn't think that would need to be explained, but I was wrong.

Toney officially won the fight 117-109 x 2 and 116-110. James didn't even need to drop Jirov in the final round to win that contest.
HBO's scorecards don't count and neither do our own. Most fight fans thought Toney won, he didn't have to "turn" things "on it's head."
As a getle reminder, here's what the topic of this thread is really about:

Wasn't Joe Mesi winning a decision against a Eastern European fighter, only to get knocked down and almost out in the last round? Injury so severe he had to retire.

While you're addressing the topic, why not cease ignoring the irrefutable fact that you obsessively cry for mods to move topics like this yet you're partaking in this one. Why the massive display of hypocrisy so?

Please review your "getle" reminder then, because Toney was ahead on the cards against Tim Littles and had him badly hurt at the end of the third.

Yup, but can't remember the guy's name. Messi did come back, but only briefly and without any huge success.

Mesi beat Jirov by a close UD but Jirov dropped him and repeatedly hit to the back of the head. I watched the fight back when it happened but haven't seen it since so me memory is a little foggy. At least one of the knockdowns was from a rabbit punch but I don't remember if they all were. Effectively ended Mesi's career.
