World Title Fights LOST in the last 20 seconds.

[newsoulrebel]

This morning I showed Carl Froch vs Jermaine Taylor Round 12, to my girlfriend on Youtube. She could not believe, how Carl fought through the final round to end the fight and take the belt home, with only 10 seconds to spare. I cannot honestly, remember a championship fight where a world title was won or lost in the last 10 seconds... Can anyone else? It's a genuine question... How many world title fights were won or lost in the last 20 seconds. Does anyone know?....

Off the top of my head Chavez -Taylor I - but that's pretty obvious it will be interesting to see what else comes up.

Anyone remember how much time was left in the Weaver-Tate fight?

Yeah Chavez-Taylor is the ultimate.

Matt Franklin-Marvin Johnson I is another all-time classic super fight.

- -Big John Tate undefeated was penciled in vs Ali before Mike Weaver behind on the cards KOed him with 45sec on the clock.

Big John coulda be lineal champ but for the Weaver lapse. That would've keep the lineal title locked in the WBA, and so poor Lar, we barely knew him back then would never have to suffer the ignominy of being beat up by Rocky's jockstrap.
