Can Paul Williams come back from this?

Yeah it's a tall order, this thread just got me thinking. Can anyone think of a high profile fighter who was viciously KO'ed like that and then rebounded to beat a solid opponent in their very next fight? I'm sure there are tons of examples, but in recent history, I'm completely at a loss.

Mayorga after the Tito TKO beat Pichirillo for a strap...
Montiel just beat Cermeno after losing to Nonito...

Good call on Montiel. I honestly haven't followed anything below featherweight closlely in recent times, so will have to look into Cermeno. If he's even of decent quality then it's good on Montiel, the Donaire KO was really bad. I actually watched Mayorga vs Pichirillo live and Mayorga really looked like someone who was coming off a long layoff and unsure of himself, if Pichirillo could have punched at all it might have been different, Mayorga didn't look good in that one imo.
