FIghts that showed the first time wasn't a fluke

Hougigo12y ago

After the Thompson fight, you gotta think about other fights where somebody was upset the first time, had a rematch and ended in pretty much the same way. Off the top of my head, this fight and Salido/JuanMa What other fights?

Comments (20)

Hearns-Barkley II is the example that comes to mind first.

12y ago

I was actually thinking of Pavlik vs. Taylor 2 And Forrest vs. Molsey Forrest-Mosley2 is not a good example because there are those who believe that Mosley deserved a draw. It was a close fight.

Forrest - Mayorga

calzaghe-veit. calzaghe doesn't give rematches though or so he said. Comic-man ......you slipped up here.... Veit had only lost to Calzaghe via a very early KO and was supposed to have been caught cold..... On top of your error, he had won about 17 straight after losing to Calzaghe. He was also the interim WbO champ and had defended it. After his second loss to Calzaghe he beat Jurgen Braehmer who was 27-0..... Veit finished up with about 45-4 his last 2 losses coming in his last 3 fights. He was 6'4" and a very good fighter whom Calzaghe ruined so next time you see him-apologise....

Gerald McClellan vs Julian Jackson springs to mind. This fight came to my mind you beat me to it.
