The Lucky Punch

For me the first ones that spring to mind are Foreman Vs Moorer and Kendall Holts lucky headbutt vs Torres. I thought he was on the verge of being KO'd himself when boom the butt lands and its to the ropes for Torres and then the punch finishes the job.

Gatti v Ruelas

Mercer v Damiani

Mayorga was winning the fight early on but Shane easily had the fight coming into the 12th. He just wanted the knockout and went for it. Gotta love Shane!

Gotta disagree here C-Lo. I know the judges had Shane ahead but I thought Mayorga was winning the fight.

Derry Matthews v Martin Lindsay is a prime example.

Derry floored Lindsay in the 2nd. He was 5 points up on the referee's scorecard going into the 9th. He was 4 minutes away from a dominant victory. Then Lindsay throws a left hook from nowhere and it almost takes Derry off the canvas, floors him heavily and Derry doesn't get up.

It's a great fight, probbably my British fight of the year. You should definitely watch it if you haven't.

Wow, How could I have forgotten that one? Great call.

You are in the vast minority on this issue.

Was this the silly a** move, where a clowing Nate Campbell, intentionally stuck his neck out?

If it was, it wasn't a lucky punch, mind you, the target needed nobody's luck to get hit!

Foolish Nate, needed to learn a lesson. Humility 101!

Mercer was getting outboxed as i remember it and then he landed a grazing uppercut on Damiani's nose. And that was the one that broke his nose, very lucky punch by Mercer had it not been for that freak type of incident.

I believe he would of lost Mercer was a good fighter, he put up very good efforts against Holyfield, Lewis, then there were times where he looked like a completely different fighter Ferguson 1, Wilson 1, and lets not forget he got whooped by an ancient Holmes.

Sort of.

It was 'lucky' but it wasn't a fluke if you get what I mean :)
