Lucky punches!

lucky punch is the word for sore losers

I don't really agree with labelling punches as "lucky", but michael sprott was extremely fortunate to land that left hook on audley harrison, he was facing the ground with his eyes closed at the time it landed. He was taking a beating up to that point.

I was going to say Tarver's punch

same here.

Louis vs. Conn

I'm reluctant to call it a "lucky" punch, as it implies that the fighter's punches don't normally pack a wallop. However, I am reminded of Joe Louis' KO of Billy Conn, who lead for most of the fight by stickin' and movin'. Wanting to finish the fight with a flourish, Conn made the mistake of trading punches with Louis, who wasted no time in disposing of him in the 13th round. Conn lead on all three cards up until the stoppage. Based on the outcome of that fight, Louis - a rather laconic man - uttered these immortal words: "In the ring, you can run, but you can't hide."

I was going to mention this fight. Graham was winning every second of the fight until that bomb landed.
Also, Mickey Ward was losing every second of his fight with Alfonso Sanchez until he landed the body shot. Poor Sanchez was never the same after that fight.

Yep Graham was a league ahead of Jackson in ability but Jackson could really punch therefore its not so much a lucky punch, more of a SOS punch, but it worked so....

yeah Herol Graham is one of the good fighters who had potential. He was trained my Bredan Ingle

Thats an understatement, he was easily the most talented fighter not to win a world title.

As you say he was trained by Ingle and had the same elusive defensive style that was made famous by Nassem Hamed and Johnny Nelson and he could seriously box.

Unfortunately his chin was a bit suspect so....he never quite made it although with 48w and only 6 losses (to good fighters) he was obviously a good fighter, especially when you look at his loss against Mike McCallum were many had him the winner by split decision as opposed to the other way round!

gonzales threw a combo gerry clearly ducked and went for the body punch. he aimed for it it was not a "lucky" punch.

I alway said that Ingle is the most underrated trainner in the history of boxing as well as Rudy Perez but he doesnt speak english so I going with Ingle.
