I immediately think of Castro landing that Hail Mary right hand to Jacksons jaw when the ref was leaning in save Castro from getting his faced disfigured anymore, but i know theres tons more examples.

Tyson catching Botha is another good one.

Gatti/Ruelas

truewest.

Obvious one is Foreman/Moorer.

Also Rahman/Lewis I

Carbajal/Arce

Does Herol/Jackson count? Jackson was losing...but not really getting "beat". But goddamn if there ever was an "eraser" punch...that is it.

Lennox Lewis looked like garbage against Frank Bruno until he turned it around completely with one shot, if I remember correctly.

I thought Rahman was winning that fight the whole time.


Weaver/Tate
Marciano/Walcott 1
LaMotta/Dauthuille




Nice call!

Arguello/Costello

Tua/Oquendo - All heavies suck, by the way.

Corales/Castillo 1 - Although Tony Weeks did most of the saving.

I remember Julian Jackson was badly losing to Herol Graham. I think his corner or the referee were going to stop it after the round before he landed that sledgehammer of a right hand, just as Graham looked like he was going to finish the fight. That's actually the very first fight I thought of when you brought this topic up.

Even though the fight sucked, Briggs/Liakhovitch has to be up here. Liakhovitch was on his way to win an extremely boring decision into the 12th round before Briggs knocked him out of the ring and Liakhovitch couldn't beat the count. The fight got stopped with a few seconds or less left.

Also, wasn't Rocky Juarez losing a fight back in 2001 or 2002 against a guy named Antonio Diaz? The fight had gone into the 10th round and Juarez was on his way to losing a comprehensive decision before he put Diaz to sleep with a left hook. If I could find it on youtube, I'll place it up here.

Steele in the Chavez-Taylor fight

Wasn't Smoke Gainer beating Kevin Kelly's ass before Kelly starched him with a left hook (think it was a left hook)?

i dont think julian jackson was losin against buster drayton....but drayton was out cold before he even hit the canvas....

that shit-fest between Briggs and Lyakhovich was up in the air until the Wheezing Wonder landed a haymaker.



I beg to differ- Jackson was getting carved up- by the time that atom bomb landed he could barely see.

Barkley vs. Hearns

Holt vs. Torres II

great call. Kelly's eye was completely closed I believe

Jackson was losing to Terry Norris for three or four minutes.

Yup. His eye was shut. I was watching that fight on HBO...I remember coming out of my chair when Kelly landed that shot because it was so unexpected. One of those "OH SHIT!!!" shots.

Jones-Griffin I if Jones didn't get dirty. Was Jones behind on points?

Robinson-Fullmer II

he was behind on one card

Guess my memory of that fight is a bit hazy. In that case, I guess it definitely counts.

Weaver Tate to me was the ultimate one punch changes everything

Lopez/Gamache
Jackson/Norris
Nelson/Fenech II
Casamayor/Katsidis
Gatti/Rodriguez

I thought about Jackson/Norris but then tought it was too early in the fight to say he was saved.

That was the most dramatic one.

I always think of Ray Mercer knocking out Francisco Damiani. Damiani was way ahead if I remember right, then around the 10th or 11th round Mercer throws this punch that actually mostly misses except for landing on Damiani's nose. It broke it and the dude stayed on the floor.

I usually dont believe in lucky shots but that was one. It clipped his nose in such a way it poured blood out of it. Ray was going to lose that fight it he didnt get that perfect shot in there.

Mercer was also losing to Tommy Gunn before landing 14 punches in a row

I may also like to add Tua/Rahman I to that list. Howbeit as controversial as it was.

Ray Mercer started to gain a little bit of a mystique around him after he pulled a couple of those fights out. Until Larry Holmes put an end to it.

Micky Ward against Alfonso Sanchez.
Ward lost the first six rounds and was getting beaten up. Mitch Halpern told him before the seventh round, "Show me something or I'm stopping the fight." One left hook to the body in the seventh and it was over.

Can't really agree with Fenech v Nelson II. Azumah dropped in the first round if memory serves me right. Unless of course you're talking in the whole scheme of things.

Azumah was borderline toying with Fenech that night. He was alot stronger than the first fight because he was healthy. His Malaria had cleared up and he was 100% himself.

do yourself a favor and refresh it- that's one fight you can never see too many times.

Jackson vs Castro I, Weaver vs Tate and Gatti vs Rodriguez/Ruelas are the ones that stand out to me.

Whitaker against Hurtado...althought that was 9 consecutive punches as opposed to one "eraser" punch.

Here's a blast from the past: Carlos Palomino KO 11 Dave "Boy" Green. Green was winning almost every round before Palomino pulled himself out of the fire.

Lee

i would rather watch someone do their taxes than watch rounds 1-11 of Briggs-White Wolf.


Fucking pissed me off because i was all high on dude before he showed up looking like Al Bundy and did twelve rounds of nothing.

When McFly knocked out Biff Tannen.

Peden/Campbell comes to mind..

that was awesome. I especially love watching dudes not known for punching power pulling out fights like that.

Yeah but that wasn't one punch Dobie. Foreman landed a couple of power shots, including that left hook to the body that moved Moorer to Foreman's right hand and he was already badly stunned when the first one-two landed and when the second one two landed Moorer was done. It wasn't just one punch, but a couple of hard heavy old man foreman shots.



He looked like complete shit, was close to getting stopped on a few occasions and was losing in the round until he landed that big left hook on Bruno's skull that resulted in his onslaught and the stoppage.



Nelson absolutely dominated Fenech in their rematch. That is why the fight is so famous for. He looked done in the first fight and he had no business getting a draw because Fenech won, but the rematch was the opposite. Go watch the fight on Youtube. Nelson continually speared Fenech with that Jab and Right Cross, and was dominating him until he finally put him away in the 8th. It wasn't an eraser knockout; the fight was a total blowout in favor of Nelson.

NO! Toney - Nunn is not an example -- Just in advance.



Tate/Weaver
Brewster/klit
Maybe Maskeav vs. Rahman.

Come on, mang....you know that wasn't a punch....that was too much VASOLINE that spelled the end for Wlad in that one!!!

Thanks for the update; I stand corrected.

Gatti/Rodrigues

Gabi Canizales/Lora
