Name some fights in which...

A fighter got out to what appeared to be a big lead on the scorecards only to let the opponent come back and make it interesting. Here are a few off the top of my head:

Karmazin vs. Spinks
Cantatore vs. Nelson

 

marquez-pac 1

 

Williams vs Margarito.

Not huge lead, but he was well infront after Margo's slow start.

 

Cotto - Margarito

 

First one that I thought of. Also Oscar vs. Tito. He could have easily one if he did anything other than run the last few rounds.

 

Pac-Marquez.

 

Gatti vs Ward III,Arturo swept the first 3 rounds and then broke his hand and made it interesting

 

:good

although oscars corner said he's up on the cards he shouldnt have ran like that..... pissed me the fu*k off and i'm glad the decision went to tito.

 

clottey - margo

 

agree. I was really mad, but in hindsight, I am glad he didin't win because he obviuosly didnt want it as bad as Tito.

 

Leonard-Hearns 1 with the Knockdowns in the later rounds it was starting to get even.

 

Zab vs Floyd.......

Though it turned into a beating rather than an interesting fight.

 

De La Hoya vs Tito is the first one I think of too.

 

not that it would of mattered, but for the record judah should have gotten credit for knocking floyd down... :yep

 

Ron Lyle vs. Muhammad Ali - 1975. Ali was well behind after 7 rounds, then started to comeback and then TKO'd Lyle in the 11th.
