Luckiest KO punches

[K-DOGG]

I don't believe in luck.

However, Jackson's Hail Mary punch against Herol Graham came out of nowhere.

Oooo. Yeah. Forgot about that one. Geez.

No such thing as a lucky KO punch.

I agree with that. If you throw it with bad intentions and it lands, it's not luck IMO. Some people would probably say Iran Barkley landed a lucky punch against Hearns(fight one) because he was taking a beating before he landed it.

Contrary to the views of a few, "lucky" punches - though rare - do exist (or have uccured). There are certain scenarios and circumstances under which they can and have happened.

I won't go into a complete dissertaion except to say that the luckiest KO punches uccur when a losing fighter nails his opponent shortly before the ref stops the carnage or his corner throws in the towel.

Had Davey Moore KO'd Roberto Duran just before that fight was stopped, that would've been a lucky punch.

Marquez-Pacquiao 4 was a great counterpunch, not luck. That was timing and countering skills, two things Marquez is known for.

Rahman on Lewis

[greeh]

That is a good shout. Obviously Marquez against Pacquiao would have to be near the top as would Sergio Martinez against Paul Williams.

Before someone complains, these are lucky because even though the punches were thrown with the intention in mind, they all landed so advantageously because of the movements of the opponent in order to allow for one punch knockouts. I consider most, if perhaps not all, one punch knockouts to be lucky.

How can you call that lucky? Marquez timed him and counter-punched perfectly.

Luckiest KO punches I am thinking of Danny Garcia head down eyes closed Neck punch that did in Amir Kahn not that he would not have done him properly anyway it was a matter of time

Well when I was a schoolkid this bigger kid picked a fight with me and I knocked him out and it is without doubt the luckiest knockout I can personally think of. BECAUSE I HAD MY EYES CLOSED FOR THE ENTIRE PUNCH UP and also lucky that it seems that he also had his eyes closed the whole time as well... ahh mammories, I mean, memories.

That's okay. If you look at the photos, Oliver McCall had his eyes closed when he dropped Lennox Lewis.

Read the paragraph underneath what I said.

For me there was some luck in Juans landing his counter on Manny. Manny was very deep inside by the time the punch landed it was late coming but had enough to stop Manny because he wasn't securely on the matt!(feet)
The set up was a typical move against a southpaw and its a move everyone works on when against an agressive lefty! To me there was some luck that it landed and was effective! Years ago everyuone talked about the Joe Louis 6" punch but the Juans 2" punch was the bomb. Ray
