    :yep
    odd one, mentioned twice.

    btw, obviously prompted by the Froch-Taylor fight, but while Froch was behind, the scorecards (two of em) were probably a bit unfair and he had come on for a couple of rounds. Wasn't out of nowhere.

    Here are two from the Carl Thompson collection: Rothmann and Haye. He was battered in both.

    1994 was the rematch, the first fight was in 1990!

    Then Gonzalez had another round of bad luck against Gerry Penalosa, outboxing him in every round until Penalosa landed a body blow to put Gonzalez down.

    Although ahead on the cards, Bute vs. Andrade certainly can be called a "great escape".

    apparently only 10 times has a fighter got a KO after being well behind and needing a KO

    Not "great" by any stretch, but Mtagwa - Villa was wild last year.
