    Algieri vs PacMan....well almost.

    Algieri never got the chance to be let out of his cage.

    I remember thinking Michael Carbajal was going to beat unknown at the time Mauricio Pastrana, sooner or later Carbajal (44-2 at the time) would drop the hammer and KO him. Instead he let the fight get away from him and lost a close decision. Been a while since I've seen it though.

    Jorge Paez had to drop Calvin Grove 3 times in the 15th round to win a close decision in a fight he was losing.

    Jirov almost did it vs Joe Mesi, after being dominanted for 7 rounds he came back to drop Mesi 3 times and lose by one point.

    Another close call is Alex Stewart after being dropped multiple times and on the verge of being stopped came back and disfigured George Foremans face to lose a very close decision.

    Alexis Arguello stopping Ruben Olivares while behind on points.

    Michael Carbajal’s come from behind stoppage against Jorge Arce.

    Two come from behind wins from different points of fighters career where one was a passing of the torch fight (Arguello) while the other was a final fight with a great win (Carbajal).

    How are the Americans forgetting about Ford’s KO against Kholmatov in the final 10 seconds when down on the scorecards to defeat the world champion and win his first world title????

    Probably some fights of Diego Corrales. Freitas was boxing, moving, and landing; I think he won the first 7 rounds, but he started to be more static in the second half and got KOed in the 10th after being dropped in the 8th and 9th. Not sure if that counts as domination when the aggressor is eating a boxing clinic until the opponent's bicycle starts slowing down.

    Beterbiev won the 12th round and badly cut Bivol.

    Too bad it didnt go longer, Beterbiev finished stronger and fresher IMO.
