Replacement opponents that went horribly wrong

Martinez didn't replace Pavlik, but he couldn't fight due to his infection. I think the most feared **** regrets taking on Martinez on short note, winning a questionable decision and was KTFO in the rematch.

So it went wrong in the long run

 

ricardo torres was a replacement for cotto, didnt go horribly wrong but it was a very tough fight!!

i think that pac had about a month's notice to fight mab in 2003. that could probably make him a replacement opponent.

for the ledwaba fight, i recall pac had only two week's notice.

 

Dennis Andries was scheduled to defend his WBC Light Heavyweight title against Don Lalonde . Lalonde pulled out and Jeff Harding was the replacement . Harding tko'd Andries in the 12th round and both guy's took a pummeling in an amazingly grueling fight ! For sure the Andries camp thought Harding was easy meat , had only fought in Australia and only had 14 or 15 pro fights at that stage .

 

I forgot who Arturio Frias was a late sub for .. BUt he ended up knocking out Claude Noel for the Lw title.

The best one was Isidro Garcia who was in the audience eating a donut when asked to sub for Alejandro Montiel (Fernandos bro)... He ended up upseting PRs Jose Lopez for the WBO flyweight title

 

Yes for some guy name Fernando Sosa who was never heard from again or received a title shot.
