What exactly is a "Lucky Punch"?

[VatoMulatto]

"Lucky punch" is a popular phrase in boxing that for most part don't make much sense. If I intend to throw a left hook and it lands, and knocks my opponent out - that's not luck. That's what I wanted to do.....No luck there.

I've heard people say Povetkin's left uppercut was a lucky punch. WTF? he knew exactly what he was doing and set it up perfectly.

What's your definition of a lucky punch and can you give some examples of fights where the winner landed a lucky punch to win the fight.

Lennox' punch that opened up Vitali's eye.

Lucky punch is grossly overused and usually by people who DKSAB.

Have I ever seen one? Not in a professional fight.

I'd have to see some Brian Sutherland type footage to spot something like a real lucky punch. Why? Because landed punches aren't lucky when thrown by a fighter. You intend to hit your opponent with anything with remote steam on it.

A true lucky punch is something you don't expect to land but also the opponent doesn't see coming. That is really rare. The only punches thrown you really shouldn't expect to land are setup punches used as feints and to disguise other punches behind them. Even if you "landed" one on accident, it doesn't have anything behind it. The punches that your opponent doesn't see coming that land with force are thrown with intent.

Lucky punches are stuff like, closing your eyes and swinging wildly spinning in circles, and you happen to clobber some unsuspecting bystander, on some candid video ish.

It's actually insulting. I'm offended as a damn amateur, that one could actually think, that I could practice throwing every punch in my arsenal over 12 years, but in the ring, if I land a good shot, you chalk it up to luck? That's disrespectful. Imagine if someone told you that all your success in your passions or profession is luck and not due to hard work, practice, skill, ability, etc.

Any punch that knocks down Anthony Joshua.

[El Más Loco]

A lucky punch is a punch wherein your favorite fighter (or fighter you picked to win) gets KO'd.

At least that is what is referred to as a lucky punch 99% of the time.

That’s not lucky, it’s from “the gods” !!!

there is no such thing... you know whats up

that is just another one of the many things spoken by ret4rded casuals

are you specifically referring to the Whyte/Povetkin matchup... or did comments in the Pacquiao/Marquez thread spark this off?

correct, either way

[aboutfkntime]

pity that Whyte did not pull off a lucky duck, for that lucky punch

same with Pac

Marquez sure is lucky that Pac did not pull off a lucky duck, and slip right under that lucky punch LMAO

nah, it still sounds ret4rded even when I joke about it
