Interesting to see that the scorecards for Fenech V Nelson 2 were even after 7 rounds. Actually Fenech only had 2 bad rounds in that fight, the 1st and 8th. The result was conclusive though.

The first fight wasn't that competitive either. I thought Hagler got robbed.

There was a good interview with Vito on the front page. I have never seen the first fight unfortunately never been able to find it.

:lol:

OK moving on.

There are a lot of these though. I know SweetPea for the most part hates immediate rematches and I've begun to hate them too. Most of them not only are worse then the first but much more one sided. Of course there are exceptions but a few that come to mind.

Barrera - Juarez II
Toney - Peter II
Mosley - Vargas II
Calzaghe - Veit II

OK I'm going to stop there I like those examples though.

goerge forman vs ali they always fought

Archie Moore-Yvon Durelle
Matthew Saad Muhammad-John Conteh

Castillo vs Corrales II because of the weight thing left Chico at a serious disadvantage.

Was a wipeout IMO

Marciano - Walcott
Bonecrusher - Witherspoon

Chavez vs. Meldrick Taylor

Some say the first fight was dominated by Taylor, but somebody did all that damage to Taylor even without the controversial stoppage. Taylor swallowed so much blood and didn't he fracture his orbital? The second fight should not have occurred. That was a shame.

The rematch taking place was fine, but it was about 3-4 years too late.

Taylor took a horrendous beating, but was back in the ring a few months later, and still fighting at a pretty high level if he wasn't what he once was. Taylor's team never should've allowed him to fight Norris. That was an awful choice.

The rematch was competitive too. Taylor started out well, but after the action-filled 6th round, his legs weren't ever the same.

Danny Williams v Julius Francis
RJJ v Griffiths
JCC v Meldrick Taylor

One that sprang to mind was Brodie V Chi.

Life and death first time around and then Brodie got a shelling in the return.

I never see the rematch but there first fight was brutal and i thought Brodie won there 1st meeting.

Schmeling v Louis comes to mind first fight KO 12 Schmeling

2nd fight is over in 2.04 secs Louis

Why is Chavez-Taylor 2 being mentioned?

It was a competitive fight, and a pretty entertaining one too.

DPDL vs. Looknongyangtoy.

1st fight was fairly competitive DPDL even got floored, but the second fight the knockout was scary straight up cold KO

That is an accurate take on the fight , and as for Brodie Chi 2 , Brodie gets eaten alive.

Arce - Hussein a big letdown for me. Hussein didn't come to fight and just had bizarre interaction with Fenech.

Antonio Tarver vs. Eric harding......Tarver rebounds to destroy Shifty Harding,Yells at the ref for allowing it to continue so long

John John Molina Vs. Tony Lopez.....Lopez just beat up round after round in 2nd of three very good fights

Edwin Rosario Vs. Juan Nazario....total switch up from 1st go.

Vincent Pettway Vs. Gianfrano Rosi....Rosi had such a fugly/dirty style Imo and got beat down in rematch
