Is there such thing as a lucky punch in boxing?

[King P]

So I made this thread about which L is worse

And the last post actually touched on something else on wanted to discuss

yeah but fluke kos can happen you can be whopping some cats ass or just be in a competitive fight and a lucky punch puts you down. It sucks but at least you can say it was a lucky punch and run it back, getting shutout is way more demoralizing for the fighter and there is zero chance youre ever going to get a rematch plus you have killed any hope of ever amounting to anything. i cant think of one good fighter whose ever been 12-0

I've always been curious as the whole idea of a "lucky punch"

My Ring Gang Brothers @patscorpio and @LauderdaleBoss actually spoke on this not too long ago





Do ya'll really believe that landing something that someone trains their whole life to do is somehow "lucky"

Speak on it Coli

No

For every "supposedly" lucky punch, there's usually a mistake or window of opportunity that was right around the corner.

First off yes there are lucky punches not every boxer has "trained their whole life" sometimes a scrub lands a shot in the dark. That being said I was more or less referring to a flash knockout. If you are in the ring being totally outclassed and you somehow get one through and KO a guy you were in fact lucky because that one shot saved your ass.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Jermell Charlo be landing lucky punches all the time then cuz he's been outclassed before finally landing a big punch that ends shyt.

but then we'd have to dismiss his toughness and composure which you need to have to endure being outclassed in order to still land that game changer later on.

If somebody can still come from behind and knock their opponent out, the point can be made that they weren't getting their ass kicked hard enough.

i sort of think that, maybe its that all punches are lucky, and all boxing is, is luck. but you get more lucky, or less lucky, by how much you know.

Manny's fans still trying that shyt? Lol

 

[desjardins]

I consider it a lucky punch if it wasn't set up and the person was being outclassed otherwise.
i.e. fighter getting their head boxed off and just wings a punch and the opponent gets caught slipping

Funny that they had this one on one with Max i think where Marquez show this startegy and Roach had a counter for that. But just like what they said, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It's a habit of Pacman

I mean that shot Connor landed on Aldo was a lucky shot so ya, you can have em in boxing to.




Wow. That dude knocked the fukk outta pacquiao. Holy shyt I've ever seen that

 

[Professor Emeritus]

I think if a boxer doesn't have a great read on his opponent's tells and is basically just throwing shyt, but happens to initiate a punch to the right location right before the opponent opens himself up for it, then that's a lucky punch.

Or if a boxer is attempting to throw a punch and doesn't hit what he's aiming at.


This is an example. Miss with the uppercut and still get the knockout:




For some reason tho I read thread title and thought of Tyson Fury clocking himself.
