    Name fights where a boxer is getting utterly dominated but bounces back to knock his opponent out. Where he snatches vicotry from the jaws of defeat.

    Some of my favs:

    Benn - McClellan
    Marciano - Walcott 1
    (Rocky had been dropped in the first round, and in my opinion was getting outboxed until the thirteenth).

    Mike Weaver KO 15 John Tate in 1980, and Leonard TKO 14 over Hearns in 1981.... Wicked stuff...

    Ward didn't land a SINGLE punch all night. It was like he was in a daze. Merchant was making fun of Ward saying he should be fined for not fighting. Then... BAM.

    Sanchez is on the canvas crying from a bodyshot. Literal tears.

    The ultimate late comeback has to be LaMotta/DauthuileII.

    Unlike Chavez/TaylorI, this fight had LaMotta needing a knockout in the last 10 seconds of a fight with the classic championship rounds in it.
