What other boxer applauded for losing 11 rounds and match, but winning one round?

And if there is another boxer that did what JR did, did they come back in the rematch and win it after only winning one round in the previous bout and being completely outclassed/outboxed?

Just dont get reasoning behind desire for rematch of JJC jr and Martinez, aside from $$$. If that knockdown happened in the earlier rounds but Mart had won all previous and rounds thereafter, there would be no discussion of a rematch. Just because JR lands a lucky punch in round 12 and theres no more time, hes now entitled to a rematch and the public should be excited about it? He had 12 rounds to fight and couldnt do anything. Furthermore, he couldnt even finish Mart and its not like Mart was hanging on for dear life, he was fighting back as if he needed to win that round and had lost all 11 prior rounds. For me, a rematch makes no sense. JR does not have the skills to compete with Mart. He has the size and the chin to hang around and land the luck shot. But we know that can happen in any fight to any boxer at any time. Its doesnt warrant a rematch however. Especially when you cant finish the guy off and the opponent actually strikes back after the knock down in round 12 and is game to further exchange, even after giving a nonstop beat down for the previous 11 rounds and winning the cards by a landslide.

Funny. We all know that fight was more competative then the scorecards would suggest and not just for 1/2 a round, as well as there were many rounds left in the match.

 

We all know he didnt fight Sergio on a level playing field concerning weight. JR knows how to "play" with the scales to tip them in his favor. Whats more spectacular about Sergios win is not only did he thoroughly outclass the YOUNGER guy for 11 rounds, but he took his best shots, got up in the championship rounds off the canvas and fired back at an iron-chined light heavyweight when he could have just held on and coasted the last round to an easy scorecard win. To me, that makes JR look worse and Sergio look better. JR had nothing to lose so he let his hands fly. Sergio had everything to lose, had the win in the bag and still let his hands fly. No need for rematch from me. $$$ talks, so they will build it up based on that last 1/2 round. But it will be a shut out with Sergio being more careful next time around. Again, JR doesnt have the skills. He doesnt even have a jab for christsakes. He has size and a chin. We all thought we knew JR was a hype job fighting smaller guys and he proved it against a true champ.

 

Completely agree. And even if Mosely had dropped Floyd that round, no one would have mentioned rematch after looking at the domination in the other 11 rounds. Sergio doesnt have many fights left at his age in peak condition and to waste a fight on a JR rematch is sad from a competative standpoint (although I understand Sergio taking the biggest payday and getting more $$ security from it if he so chooses to partake in it).
