    Default Rematches where you fully expected the opposite result

    With all talk of Haye rematch with Klitschko - and no one really thinking it would turn out any differently - I was trying to think of fights , in my lifetime, where the heavy loser turned it round as expected. I'm not talking about fights that were won by close deicisions - there have been many of those, but where a guy has been kayoed or outclassed in a lopsided UD

    How does the old quote go... 'knock a guy out and you'll knock him out even quicker in a rematch'.....

    Only one I can think off is Lewis Rahman - I was disgusted with Lewis for his lazy arse performance in South Africa but at that rematch was 99.9999% certain he would destroy Rahman (ok i was still nervous as was a big fan). And he did. Same with McCall - was never concerned he would get lucky again (the cry baby)

    I remember a lot of experts thinking Tyson would avenge the Holyfield loss but I never thought he would (ok I didn't expect the DQ !) . And I never thought MAB would win the Junior Jones rematch. Nor Moseley against Forrest. Nor Forrest against Mayorga (though i didn't think he would take him the distance)

    So guys - any others out there ?

    watson v odonnell

    i thought watson won the first quite clearly but never got the result, i thought the fight would go the same way with some better judging

    I dont think Watson won it quite so clearly but he did get the descision

    I thought Tommy Hearns would own the blade. Wrong!

    I thought JMM would beat Manny Wrong!

    I thought Chuiquita would beat Carbajal. Right

    I thought Jose Napoles would beat Backus. Right
