Is there such a thing as a lucky punch?

[JepMasta]

Well skill is a huge part of the sweet science, but I definitely believe in the concept of the Lucky Punch. If you are coming in with a punch at just the right angle, and the opponent dips his head and positions it in just the right place, that could be the one punch that drops him. Now that Punch, if it is thrown in any other way, may not damage him...but with the right momentum...and the right hand speed...you never know what could happen.

Anyways, just my $.02

I've seen plenty of "lucky" punches land in my 30 years of watching boxing. Most "lucky" punches happen because the better fighter gets careless or came to the fight unprepared though.

I was told today by a fellow member(!!Shawn) on this board there is no such thing as a lucky punch.

Whats your thoughts?

So Oscars punch with his eyes closed that won him gold at the olympics was not lucky?

Or people getting battered on the ropes, who have one last punch before the fight is stopped, which is landed. Then they win by KO. Is that not lucky?

Your thoughts.

Is this question aimed at ottke's knockout of mundine by any chance?

[MELLY-MEL...]

Of course there is such a thing.
