That lucky punch stuff is just nonsense. Tarver threw the punch with bad intentions, it landed and knocked Roy out, and thats it. There is no "luck" to that, besides the "lucK" that is needed for ANY knockout.

Roy looked real sharp, but I think his reaction time and reflexes had gone down by that point with age. I think a younger Roy would have got out of that predicament and never would have left himself open and available for Tarver to land that bomb. That being said I believe Roy still had more than enough ability to hand Tarver his ass. I got that impression even in the 3rd fight that Roy could whoop Tarver if he would fight, but obviously Roy did just about everything except fight in that 3rd match.

Unbelievable upset though. I was one of the guys who believed the weightloss was the reason for his mediocre perfomrance in the first fight (and I still do), so I was prepared for a healthy Roy to destroy Tarver in the rematch. It was depressing and surreal to see Roy go down like that.
