    Can you think of some? Lewis' rematch with Rahman comes to mind.

    Not sure. But think about the historic HW upsets that have had rematches. Usually the guy who was favored to win the first fight takes the rematch.

    Louis/Schmeling
    Patterson/Johansson
    Spinks/Ali
    Lewis/Rahman

    etc.

    Not the same year, but within a year Julio Ceja vs Hugo Ruiz comes to mind.
