Any good examples where a fight ends in a really close points win (or draw) but the rematch ends in a quick KO?

Holyfield vs Qawi 1 was a very close fight going the distance but the second fight was a completely different story with qawi getting knocked out in the 4th

virgil hill-fabrice tiozzo
on the strength of 2 early kds hill wins a close first fight on split decision, then drops him 3 times in the 1st in their rematch 7 years later for a 1 round blowout. hill not a puncher but seemed to have a knack for hurting tiozzo in particular

Jones vs Tarver
A close fight in the first that many thought Tarver won. The rematch was all Tarver.

I see that I went along with Griffith here, the correct name is of course Griffin. What made it close was that Jones was credited with a knockdown in an earlier round that was really a slip. Otherwise Griffin seemed to handle him pretty well and Jones couldn't do much with him.

I don't think there is one time that it really happened. The first fight with Buddy Baer was close for about 7 rounds. When else was the first fight close and the rematch ended early?

Holyfield-Moorer is the closest to the criteria - not already mentioned - I can come up with.
Moorer won the first fight narrowly by majority decision. The rematch did last 8 rounds but Moorer was down 5 times along the way.
