Most unbelievable comebacks in boxing history

I hated Barry McGuigan. He was always rooting for Eubank.

 

Watson/Eubank 2 is a cert.

 

yup, great bail-out knockout. Was on a Naz undercard, right? I remember HBO showing highlights of that fight, thought it was on one of his cards

 

any videos around?

Junior Jones was alright.:bears:

 

Marciano over Walcott in their first bout.

One of the great KO'S, course.

 

Yes....I think thats correct...they were trying to get Naz to fight Jones, no??? Just as well that neither Naz or Kennedy McKinney ever fought Naz.

Speaking of same.....Kennedy McKinneys comeback vs Jones was pretty special.

 

Yeah and it was a rare sort of a comeback, Marciano had been floored, cut and basically totally out-boxed, he had badly affected vision for quite a few of the rounds after something got in his eyes. He wasn't being beaten up, he wasn't being embarrassed, he wasn't being mocked and showboated, but it was one of those fights where you could see everything going wrong for one fighter, with the fight remorselessly slipping away from him......then bang.

 

Michael Carbajal-Chiquita Gonzales I.

 

on JJ's birthday too. :laugh11:

Kennedy was a warrior.

 

I dunno you may have to google it. The guys are right tho it was on a Naz undercard.... vs. Paul Ingle I thinks.

 

There was nothing wrong with his commentary for the Watson rematch

 

Paul Ingle.....another guy who ended up like Watson.

fuckin hell that's sad. ingle is literally twice as big as he used to be. it was funny when he said he would rematch naz tomorrow, they are close to the same weight class now eh?

 

I can understand Ingle well enough as the interview progresses, but what in the flying fuck is he saying from 0:55 to 1:00? dix son fa coo lah qua vers on? It sounds like either Klingon or Vietnamese.

Johnny Nelson is sure in good shape. He looks like a natural light heavyweight there.

 

Nelsons a genial man who is a bit fond of himself. Adam Smith is actually a genuine boxing enthusiast who has worked his way up in the business. Ingle is from the North East of England, up near where meethefeebles is from, and they have a distinct accent which can be hard to follow.

 

That isn't really injury related thats just the North Yorkshire accent. Really....

'obviously now I've gotta start getting my head down now and getting back at it - the weights starting to come off and I'm just trying to get my head sorted out, you know what I mean?'

 

Yeah, Ingle just needs a few more accidents and then he too can be as thick as Naz.

Ingle was launching a very very good comeback against Naz when Naz finally timed him for good. Naz had dominated early but Ingle had insane fitness, honed to an almost military grade, and he worked himself back into it, wore Naz down and at one point was one single big right hand away from doing it. But Naz got there first.

He also was almost the victim of a come-from-behind loss vs Medina, when Medina launched a desperate late rounds comeback and floored Ingle, and had him hanging on down the stretch, but Medina simply ran out of time.

That set up the Hamed fight.

 

TBH, he sounds just like any fat Scarborough truckie you might meet in a service station. Any speech impairment sounds like it's more down to the fat around his neck than brain injury.

That's not to belittle what he went through of course, just to say that a full recovery seems possible for him.

 

In fairness, he looks 3 times his fighting weight of 9 stone. He's a right fat bastard. Losing weight might enable him to lead a much improved life, which is testament to how bad being that fat really is.

 

i liked paul ingle

 

Yeah, he was a good fighter. Him versus Scott Harisson would have been a great domestic match if Ingle hadn't gotten injured.

 

Yep, I liked him enough alright.

Look at this shit. This is another thing wrong with boxing. You get all these people jumping on the bandwagon to talk shit without even knowing the basics.


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ot...oxing-delivers-cruel-fate-for-Paul-Ingle.html

"Ingle was a 9st featherweight"....well I never.

"Benn, once a troubled soul known as The Dark Destroyer who served in Northern Ireland with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, is now an ordained minister preaching in Majorca":scratcher:

"Benn, Collins, Chris Eubank and Michael Watson became stars and household names because of terrestrial television coverage. The sport has since retreated to satellite stations rendering Britain's world champions - Enzo Maccarinelli, Clinton Woods, David Haye, Junior Witter and Gavin Rees - virtually unknown outside their sport." :laugh11:

"Watson, like Ingle, is living bravely through the dark side. During his punishing, exhausting 1999 title fight with Eubank at White Hart Lane, Tottenham, he suffered brain damage and spent years in a wheelchair before making himself walk again with superhuman willpower."

Oh, right, fuck all that stem-cell bollox then, Super-Human Willpower is all you need to make yourself walk. Sort of makes you wonder about the resolve of Christopher Reeves.

"Benn so severely damaged the American Gerald McLellan in 1995 that he became blind, deaf and wheelchair-bound. Benn's appetite for a scrap left him as he sat by McLellan's hospital bed." :scratcher: McWho? I don't think Nigel ever sat beside McLellans bed. Or McClellan's bed for that matter. Benn only went on to have another 3 or so big-money fights, so badly affected was his desire for a scrap.

 

Nope. Medina was for the IBF belt straight after the Hamed fight, he then defended against Junior Jones in New York before the tragedy against Botile.

As mentioned in the previous thread and by ArturoGatti here, Lester Fuentes-Mauricio Martinez is a great one which may be obscure to alot of folks here.

And seriously, Danny Williams-Mark Potter is probably the most incredible thing I have ever seen in a boxing ring.

 

Ahhhh yes.........now....if you read the Boxing Monthly interview they did with him from way back, he mentions the Medina fight as giving him something to "Bring to the table" if he ever fought Naz. Thats where I got "confussed". I was having 2nd thoughts, because I couldn't remember how Ingle came into the IBF for the "2nd time".........it turns out, after all, that he didn't...even though he says "Glad I got that title back".

All of these fights are comeback KO's, what about comeback decisions?

Maybe Ward-Gatti 1?

 

Damian Kelly fought for the Euro title against some Russian bloke and he was floored and losing every round before he just decided to win every round from the halfway point onwards. Weird fight.

 

then shouldn't he have lost by a point?

 

Good category.

MS Muhammad W15 John Conteh.

 

Might have been a point deduction or something, even if there wasn't he deserved the win just for coming back the way he did, especially as he was a light hitter with a dodgy chin

 

Also seen in a movie: Raging Bull. Lamotta vs Dauthille.
