lucky punches

[erics44]

The truth often is

whoooooooaaaaaaaa

aliens have landed

but everything in boxing isnt calculated dude, something happen out of luck

take the lewis bruno example i made, he shut his eyes and swung his arm, it could have gone anywhere but it hit him right on vital part of the jaw

there are lucky punches in boxing and people who say there arent are boring

Lewis was always going to win that fight though, Bruno was starting to fade a little and was getting caught often in that round from what I remember.

It's not as if he was winning every round and then got caught with the punch.

Harrison vs Sprott was definatley a lucky punch.

Some might even say the punch from Pac that killed Hatton was lucky, he wasn't even looking at him as he threw it. But I'm of the ilk that the punch was intended to hit the target and it did, so not really a lucky punch.

Just realized Lewis biggest comeback and biggest splat loss happened with eyes shut HA

one of my favs-worst was Kittakasem vs Jung koo Chang. Quincy Taylor vs Lonnie ( beasley ) was a brick. Love Carbajal but Arce shot had a bit of luck, if there is such a thing.

Jorge Castro's win over Jackson came from a pretty lucky punch

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I can't think of any intentional lucky punches but I'm sure there are time when a fighter sparked a guy out when he actually had no intention to.

I dunno... Is there a mad incident where a guy knocked someone out with a 'don't-hit-me' type punch?

If that was done to the extreme, I'd definitely call it a lucky punch.

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?

That victory came out of the blue.

I hate seeing the Julian Jackson KO, all Herol had to do was stay out of the way for that round and the other corner would have thrown the towel.

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.
