Are there any other 1st round wins that were come from behind wins?

If so, videos would be great.

I also like this one, which was down the card and very kindly uploaded by one of our own.

Louis later said that the Mauriello fight was the last time he felt like he hadn't lost his edge.

Mancini-Frias might be one. Have not seen it since it happened.

Kendall Holt is already on this list somewhere, but I remember a fight he had with a guy named Thomas Davis. Holt pounded the sh*t out of him for the first 2 minutes or so of round. Gets caught with a straight right in the last minute, gets up wobbly and Davis finished him.

yeah, those three knockdowns were in the first rtound.
everyone thought it was over for Archie Moore,
but he came back in a ltter round and knocked Durelle out.

One of history's great comebacks, but Moore didn't win in the first. this doesn't count.

well he came from behind in the devestating first round to win the fight.
( any other ref would probably stopped the fight in the first round)
