On espn they were saying sergio martinez caught paul williams with a lucky punch. imo there is no lucky punch in boxing. that is the point of the sport is to punch and sergio landed a big bomb. they must not know boxing enough to know the punch was an overhand left and sergio turned away to crank on the punch and wasnt looking at paul williams. that was the same punch that pacquiao knocked hatton out with. still makes me laugh when emanuel steward ruins the ko call by saying no no it was a right. lol.

there is such a thing but espn was dead wrong to say martinez caught williams with a lucky punch -
those guys on espn make me laugh when they talk boxing. how was it lucky when he trapped williams and timed his hands going down and cranked on an overhand left? great punchComment

Pwill fights with his hands at his side all the damn time... It was bound to happen...
no such thing as a lucky punch... There either was an opening or not... The fighter either through the right punch at the right time or not...Comment

It can't be a lucky punch if you knock someone out cold with a shot **** on the chin.
My argument for this is really simple - the shot was thrown with real intent.
Maybe if you knocked someone out with a 'don't hit me jab' and somehow KO'd them that would be a fluke.Comment

There can be lucky punches but Sergio's was nowhere near lucky. He was setting that punch up for the whole (short) duration of the fight, whoever said it was a lucky punch is a moron.Comment

Lucky shots probably occur with some frequency. What I do not like is when a fighter uses that as an excuse for losing.Comment

That was not a lucky punch. Martinez knew exactly what he was doing. I knocked out one of my best friends last year and that was the definition of a "lucky" punch. He caught me with a solid right hand that had me dizzy and I threw this haymaker just to keep him off me and I caught him right on the chin and he was completely out for at least 30 seconds. That made me and everybody else nervous as hell, but everythnig turned out well and he's fine now lol....but yeah that was definitely a lucky punch cause I wasn't aiming for his chin.Comment

Sergio's definitely wasn't. He was hitting Paul Williams with that left throughout the fight. A perfect example of a lucky punch is Tarver's KO of Roy Jones Jr. Jones was winning the fight and just got caught at the wrong time. Tarver is full of himself and is jealous that he'll always be in the shadow of Jones. Imagine if Jones didn't have to kill himself to lose weight, he would've beat Tarver even more decisively in their first fight and there wouldn't had been a rematch.Comment
