I think it goes without saying it wasn't lucky. The fact that it's what they train and have the intention to do means it isn't lucky, but even more so when it's set up, feinted and then landed perfectly by a multiple time champ.

The question is whether Gonzalez is just a bad match up for Mares. Particularly as Mares moved up weight divisions so quickly and Gonzalez is a big, tall, still near his prime FW that didn't land just one punch, but many that put Mares down more than once.
