lucky punches

[El Kabong]

Just based on timing, these were "lucky" punches...

JC Chavez-Meldrick Taylor

Acelino Freitas-Jorge Barrios

Both JC and Freitas were behind on points and in both fights time was slipping away.

I guess you could add Marciano-Walcott in there but he set that punch up and timed it perfectly so I don't think its "lucky" that it landed or that it kept Walcott down.

I'm surprised this thread never made it back after Manny's comments about the Marquez ko shot being lucky. Its ridiculous. I do not believe there is such a thing considering the sport and the desired outcome in a protect yourself at all times world. Some interesting responses here for examples that could be thought of as lucky but how do you qualify or quantify it? Can there be a lucky punch even in a street fight?

There is no such thing as a " lucky lunch " amongs elite fighters.

I do believe lucky punches happen in streetfights though between two guys who dont know how to fight. WHen both guys are swinging for the fences with their eyes closed and one of them happens to land, that's a lucky punch.

the luckiest punch in boxing history was lennox lewis' left hook in the 7th round of his world title defence again frank bruno at wembley stadium

Lucky? It was a miracle. To throw a punch from Wembley Stadium that stops Bruno in the Arms Park in Cardiff, is clearly beyond luck, it is mystical!

Hmm...

Looks like Hatton lowering his right hand (possibly in a moment of confusion) just before Pac's punch zommed in was a little lucky for Pac.
