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 ?
