Boro looked on course for their first Barclays Premier League win in four games when Tuncay Sanli flicked his side ahead 11 minutes from time.
Yet Hull responded immediately with Bernard Mendy's drive hitting a post and rebounding in off Ross Turnbull and Marlon King scoring a penalty after David Wheater was sent off.
All three goals came in the space of just six minutes in a pulsating end to an end-to-end encounter.
Until then it had looked like being a frustrating afternoon for Hull with Geovanni missing two good headed opportunities.
All three goals came in the space of just six minutes in a pulsating end to an end-to-end encounter.
Boro grabbed the lead as time ticked away when Jeremie Aliadiere sent Justin Hoyte clear down the right and he crossed for Tuncay to delicately back-heel the ball in from three yards.
Yet any thoughts the visitors might have snatched the game were dispelled as Hull hit back to turn the game on its head.
Mendy did the initial damage as he found space to get in a shot from the right-hand side of the area and his powerful low shot struck the base of the post and went in off Turnbull.
Hull did not want to settle for a point and moments later Geovanni was through on goal, only to be brought down by Wheater. Referee Steve Tanner quickly showed red and King calmly stepped up to side-foot home the resulting penalty.
