12th-round Comeback KOs

BrometheusBob9y ago

There have been a lot of times where going into the 12th round of a fight, I knew one of the fighters definitely needed a KO. But I am not usually on the edge of my seat because it seems like a final round comeback KO never really happens. For example, I wasn't very worried that Postol would stop Crawford in round 12. Green K for any good examples of this actually happening, except for Chavez/Taylor. No K for close calls like Chavez Jr/Martinez or KOs outside of the 12th round like Glowacki/Huck.

not really a comeback per se but shane mosley- ricardo mayroga was a very close fight going into the 12th round (shane was ahead by SD). when he finally dropped mayorga in the final round and then finished him off right at the bell. Great finish by shane, and great effort from mayorga for making it a tough fight.

9y ago

Thanks for all the fights bros, a few I haven't seen in a while or some even at all :boxing::boxing: Green coming to all as soon as I can :D

Salvador Sanchez vs azumah Nelson ...epic finish by the Mexican legend

9y ago

There was a ten round fight that mickey bey was winning the whole time till john molina jr knocked him out in the last round behind like a mofo on all scorecards

9y ago

Best comeback I ever seen was not a 12 Round, I recall a fight in which John Tate was winning a fight by ease by winning all 14 rounds against Mike Weaver than out of no where Weaver lands a left Hook that drops Big John Tate like a sack of Potatoes winning by 15 round KO

Abraham vs Taylor aswell...same as the froch fight

9y ago

Briggs over Liakhovich I remember that he knocked him out the ring

9y ago

Bute vs Andrade should've ended in a KO!!!

9y ago

Froch vs Taylor was the best....froch got took to school but cobra'd Taylor with seconds to go in the 12th

9y ago

Molina jr tko over Mickey Bey Edit: Ah, it was actually only a 10 rounder

9y ago

Audley Harrison v Sprott II was a good one. Not exactly a high level fight but Harrison was fighting one handed, he could hardly move his right arm and was down on the cards and staggered in the 12th. Then Harrison unleashes a beautiful left hand that absolutely stretches Sprott. Brilliant domestic level scrap anyway.

Briggs over Liakhovich

9y ago

Didn't Eubank stop Benn in the 12th as well? No. It was a TKO in the 9th.

9y ago

Muangchai Kittikasem over Jung-Koo Chang Mike Weaver over John Tate (it was the 15th round, but it was the last round) Bold is acceptable too :D

9y ago

Eubank vs Watson 2 Great one.

Muangchai Kittikasem over Jung-Koo Chang Mike Weaver over John Tate (it was the 15th round, but it was the last round)

9y ago

If you made it "last round" comeback ko's Mike Weaver-John Tate was an amazing ko. But Whitaker-Hurtado was spectacular as well.

9y ago

Eubank vs Watson 2 Another fine example :notworthy

9y ago

Didn't Eubank stop Benn in the 12th as well?
