Do you agree or disagree? The old saying in boxing is that anyone can get caught, and if you're throwing punches with the obvious intent to land and hurt your opponent, and one happens to land that changes the course of a fight (whether it be a one-punch KO or not), then would you really deem that a lucky punch?

Here is a great video talking about Maruez vs PAC and he breaks it down.

When a fighter throws a lot of wild ass punches that only connect a small percentage of the time, he is usually considered raw and inexperienced. If one of those punches happens to connect clean on the opponent's chin and the opponent is counted out, the fans usually call it a "lucky punch." But the fact is that the fighter created his own "luck," no matter how sloppy his offense was.
If however, he wins because his opponent sustained an injury that wasn't caused by a punch (torn rotator cuff, twisted ankle, etc.) then it would be fair to call his win a lucky victory.Comment

I stand by the fact that there was an element of luck in the MArquez ko of Pac. He planned the punch. It was a beautiful shot with perfect timing. He didnt plan for Pac trip over his foot and fall into the punch.
Maybe he gets KO'd even if that didnt happen, but it amplified the effect of the punch imoComment

I believe that sometimes a lucky punch does land. I look at the luck part of a one shot ko being more on what the person that got punched did wrong instead of what the puncher did right and how they were lucky that the person did something that they normally would not do. For example Andy Lee's one shot ko of Jackson in my opinion was a lucky punch for the most part. It wasn't a matter of Lee's boxing skill that got Jackson ko'd but rather Jackson's total disregard for defense in thinking Lee was completely out of there. Lee was lucky in the sense that if Jackson was even a little more defensively cautious than no way in hell does that punch land so clean.Comment

I like how the *****s love to ignore that
Not only it amplified the effect of the punch, I think it was a big factor for the punch landing to begin with.
when you trip, lose your balance and feel you're going down , you instinctively try to protect from the impact with your hands, that means putting your hands between yourself and the floor. Pac lowered his hands instinctively because he felt he was falling. and that was the moment JMM nailed him.
without Pacquiao tripping, that punch would have been blocked, dodged or even if it landed, it wouldn't have the same force at all, Pacquiao would have taken it, the round would have ended, and Pac would have annihilated the wounded JMM who was on his last legs the following round
What a lucky bastard, no wonder he didn't want a rematch, you dont win the lottery twice
I have a better video, Marquez' perfect ring walk song
