Fights where a fighter is effectively knocked out twice

It's the ending that's brutal. I think he's dropped three times if I remember correctly but he's so obviously out on his feet by the second knockdown that any referee worth their salt would have stopped it. Unfortunately this referee decided that he should let the world's most devastating lightweight have a free crack at Bizarro like he was a human punchbag.

 

Not that this was ever likely, but I wonder where people would have ranked Duran if he'd called it quits after the third DeJesus fight. He'd still be close to the top ten all time just based on his lightweight resume alone, I reckon.

 

I don't know if this qualifies but it is brutal nevertheless. Action happens at 4:15......

Roy jones perfect example, he was still damaged from the tarver KO when he stepped in with glen johnson.

 

Duran vs. Bizzarro came to mind. Shameful referring and home cooking, only for him to get destroyed.

 

Here is an interesting one for this subject. The first fight between Archie Moore and Jimmy Bivins.

"Jimmy Bivins' three year unbeaten streak was intact today after the Cleveland heavyweight performed the weird feat of kayoing Archie Moore of St. Louis twice in a wild battle. Bivins battered the reeling Moore to the canvas four times and knocked him out in the 2nd and 6th rounds last night as he snapped Archie's string of 27 straight victories. Moore was flattened officially in 38 seconds of the 6th round, but most of the fireworks exploded in an uproarious 2nd round. Bivins landed piston-like blows to Moore's midriff at the start of the 2nd round and uncorked a steaming right to the head to send Moore to the floor. When Moore staggered to his feet, Bivins threw another right to the chin and Archie's knees hit the canvas. At the count of one, Bivins brought up a vicious uppercut to the dazed battler's chin that knocked him cold. Referee Jackie Davis counted Moore out, but the judges and Boxing Commission Chairman Stan Cofall ruled that the fight should continue after a five minute intermission. Cofall said local boxing rules provided that the round be taken from Bivins on the foul." -Associated Press

• When the bout resumed in the 2nd round there were 29 seconds remaining and Bivins again dropped Moore for a count of nine.

 

kovalev vs sillahk

 

Remember there used to be the saved by the bell rule at end of any round.
So this must have happened a lot.
Men who wouldn't have been able to get up within the 10 count were being saved by the bell, carried back to their corners, revived and sent back out to be knocked out again.

 

Montiel vs Donaire
And Tommy Morrison was knocked out like seven times against Ray Mercer, he seemed to go out after one punch, then came alive in the next one just to be out again.

 

The fight took place in Erie, and that was Lou's hometown. He literally ran for most of the rounds, and held when he couldn't run. There were no warnings for anything. The received one clear long count and maybe a second. The timekeeper rang the bell early in one round where Lou was struggling to get up after a KD. The fight should've been stopped much earlier than it was, but it was like the ref and everybody just wanted Lou to make it to the end to either try and job duran or as a more victory for hearing the final bell.
