    Bradley won a split decision early in his career but I didn't see it.

    Tyson vs James Tillis was a very close fight but maybe he just nicked it.

    Probably a few more that I can't think of.

    Abraham/Miranda I, Bute/Andrade I, Calzaghe/Reid. Not sure if these qualify as early career or not though.

    Jose Benavidez vs Mauricio Herrera is a recent example. Benavidez is still technically early in his career but he's not world rated yet.

    Broner vs Quintero
    Guerrero vs Rosado/Duran/Smith (not world rated anymore, wich he never should have been)

    And probably would have done it if they didn't pull the glove trick.
