Joe Louis was sensational in them and so was Marvin Hagler, I'm talking about rematches. What's a rematch? A rematch in boxing is the second fight between two fighters who previously fought. In most rematches, the favorite either lost or was given a much tougher fight by the underdog than was expected. Which ultimately leads to the rematch. Antonio Tarver is now 3-0 in bouts against fighters who beat him the first time they fought.
Last night after being a six month old ghost, Antonio Tarver (23-3) reemerged as a the main man in the light heavyweight division. Tarver, who lost a split decision to Glen Johnson (42-10-2) in their first fight, won 12-round unanimous decision over him by the scores of 116-112 twice and 115-113, to win their rematch and knotting them at 1-1. Now he is the fighter who has uncontested bragging rights as the premier light heavyweight in the world.
