    The champion who most deserved an immediate rematch was Gerrie Coetzee, who lost his WBA heavyweight crown by KO to Greg Page at 3:48 of the eighth round because of a timekeeper error.

    The WBA determined, somehow, that the bout was held in accordance with the rules and the result stood.

    Eh, that fight was about 30 seconds away from being stopped due to the giant cut Hearns opened on Hagler's nose. Also, when Hearns landed the nuke that opened that cut, he broke his right hand. Had he not broken his right hand, we might all remember that one as a stoppage win for Hearns, kind of like Lewis vs. VK. Definitely deserved a rematch.

    How about Foreman-Lyle anyone? Or Norton-Holmes? Both close.
