Fights you thought shoulda been stopped, but then the guy in danger ends up winning?

Corrales vs Castillo I
JMM vs Pacquiao I

 

Daniel Izon-Derrick Jefferson
Riddick Bowe-Andrew Golota 2

 

donny mc crary vs alan green. green got knocked sensless and forgot he was in a boxing ring but then later onb came back to stop mc crary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biC5o-zCpBk

 

Watching the fight for the first time, I was SURE Foreman was going to get stopped after the 2nd KD against Lyle.

 

Benn-Mcclellan

 

Castillo-Corrales I
Bowe-Golota II

Both spring to mind but have both been mentioned already.

Thompson-Eubank II possibly.

Thompson looked exhausted took some big shots.

Under-rated that fight it was a classic example of a 'see-saw' fight. Backwards and forwards, Thompson hurt/exhausted he would come back and stun Eubank, himself hurt/exhausted and looking in trouble he would come back and hurt Thompson.

 

Nowadays, most referees probably would've stopped Yvon Durelle-Archie Moore I in round 1.

 

I thought Joe Cortez DID stop the Humberto Soto-Francisco Lorenzo fight. It looked like changed his mind.

Then later on, Lorenzo wins by DQ.

Hopefully they change it to a no-contest.

 

Khan - Limmond

Khan was down for about 13 seconds
ended up breaking Willie's face

 

Khan took a knee at 8, after the ref took four seconds to get from six to seven

 

Benn was OK. That fight should never have been stoped in the 1st Round.

 

pavlik taylor I- i wouldn't have liked to have seen it stopped but a lot of referees would have been well within their rights to stop it

 

Sean O'Grady-Shug Fukuyama


I thought it was good that Steve Smoger let the Pavlik-Taylor fight go on. Not just because of what happened afterwards, but I thought Pavlik was doing a good job of surviving and it wasn't like Taylor was accurate after the KD. He hit Pavlik with one looping overhand right that hurt Pavlik, but for the most part, he was missing.

 

Abraham-Miranda I
