Boxers who lost first fight by knockout and won the rematch

[megh50]

I'm thinking about the Alvarez vs Kovalev rematch as was wondering if there were fights where a fighter lost the first fight by knockout and won the rematch? Only one I can think of is Lewis vs Rahman and McCall and Alvarado vs Rios

[McNulty]

Dam man, you testing me with this one. I got nothing.

Kovaquit is trash though homie. Spend your money wisely.

Cotto versus Margarito

[TonyGe]

Lennox Lewis knocked out Rahman in the rematch.
He beat McCall in the rematch.
Rocky Graziano vs Tony Zale
Rocky was stopped in the first fight in the sixth round then came back in the second fight to stop Zale coincidentally in the sixth round. Then Zale KOed Rocky in the third fight.

lol bet the house on alvarez

this is not even about Kovalev's ability anymore. Dude gasses after 5 rounds. His only shot is a puncher's chance in the first 4.

There are plenty of examples. Castillo knocked out Corrales in the rematch. Vasquez knocked out Marquez in their second fight. Klitschko stopped Lamon Brewster the second time. Adonis Stevenson beat Darnell Boone in a rematch. Jean-Marc Mormeck beat Owen Bell in a Cruiserweight title rematch after being Ko'd the first time. Cotto beat Margarito in the rematch. I could go on for a while here...

Picking Kovalev btw.

Damn you beat me to it on a few of those. Good shout on the Klitchko fight

[Damn Wicked]

First thought was Klitschko VS Brewster

...but it was pretty apparent that Klitschko was the much superior fighter even in their first fight. Wlad just had to be more careful to conserve his fuel. He had a susceptibility to gassing out.
