    Martinez KO of Williams: Great KO or Lucky Punch?

    They just talked about this on Around the Horn.

    The question looked at how Martinez eyes were closed and head turned when he connected with Williams for that huge knockout. Kornheiser seemed to lean towards "lucky punch", while Wilbon said "great KO".

    I compare this to a QB throwing it to a reciever in football when he can't even see. Is that not a great thow if it's a nice touchdown? Or a no-look pass in basketball. Is it not a great pass?

    The instincts of an athlete make him great more times than not. If Sergio Martinez threw a hard shot and landed it there, it's because he meant it.

      Williams lunges in and Martinez counters him, lucky punch my ass. Martinez timed Williams, I'm sure they studied tapes of Williams even more. Heck, even Cintron timed Williams and stunned him before falling out of the ring.

            I agree. He literally has no defense. His offense is his defense. I can't even remember him ever blocking a punch.

                Carelessness in the part of Paul but that should not discredit the KO win of Martinez. Still Hatton>Paul KO loss

                  it can't be a lucky punch when martinez was throwing it all night. he knew pwill was open for it and trained for it.
