How Often is the Puncher's Chance True?

[GrandpaBernard]

We often hear that the underdog has a puncher's chance when he basically has no chance. How often does the chance actually come true?

What's your ratio or percentage for the estimate of puncher's chances actually happening?

It happens when it happens, or as Jim Lampley said...

"It happened! It happened!!"

[IronDanHamza]

If some one has brutal, crushing one punch power. They always have a punchers chance, even if they are getting beaten soundly.

If Alexis Argeullo, for example, if losing every round going into the 15th, there is still that chance if he lands that right hand on your chin you may well be going to sleep.

Doesn't happen often, though.

a lot of folk, including myself, thought ortiz had a punchers chance to beat berto and little more chance in terms of outboxing him


turned out he turned the tide in the first round

salido had a punchers chance against juanma and made it count





jackson -graham is my favorite example, simply because it was a comeback in the fight
he took advantage of a real mistake (leaving your chin up that high against a puncher like jackson)
and he did it with one punch moving BACKWARDS


and of course, the british commentary

"****, there you go!"

[Barn]

That was an unbelievable ko

OH WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT!

jackson doest even look human when he punches

he transfers his weight through the target as well as any man that's ever lived
