Has a fighter ever lost the 'formality' rematch or career defining win?

Think Chavez was on his way to being tko'd and should have lost to Randall in rematch....3rd fight was a joke & all about erasing that 'Asterisk' for Chavez

The 3rd fight wasn't that bad actually, i watched it a few months ago. And for old guys it certainly wasn't that bad action wise.

Maybe not action,sure, but Randall was fighting for a paycheck...and from what I've read fresh out of rehab and very damaged.Chavez was all about restoring some blemishes at that point,did it with Willy Wise just prior.

Oh yea i agree it meant nothing at that point legacy wise, but you have to understand. I had all kinds of bad expectations when i was going to watch this fight, but it suprised me and i enjoyed it.

I also agree Frankie Randall should of had 2 wins over JCC, i respect JCC alot and love watching him fight. But the 2nd fight really stinks IMO, and yes JCC was past his prime. But i still think it was due to styles aswell, Frankie Randall was a very sharp boxer, hence his nickname "The Surgeon".
