              The punches that Glen Johnson landed against Roy were lucky punches... all one hundred and fifty of them.

              Johnson got real lucky that night that Roy had a cold.

                Sprott knew what he was doing... I'm amazed people think that was a fluke.

                  Define lucky.

                  If you try to do something and actually manages to do it, can it then be called lucky?

                  Like when you take a bow & arrow and put your target behind a building, shoot over the building and hit the bullseye.
                  You were trying to do that, and you did. Luck?

                    Perhaps you could define the term 'lucky punch' as a 'decisive blow thrown by a boxer who up to this point has been completely dominated'.

                    The prototype for this gotta be Barkleys home-run shot in round 3 of the Hearns fight.

                      Absolutely. It's a punch that has unreal effectiveness but wouldn't happen under any other normal sircumstances.
