    Oh, I was replying to the thread started though Izzy didn't finish things with one punch.

    Didn't Micky Ward have a come from behind KO win?

    especially when the opponent is the bigger puncher, and has more chance of landing that punch aswell.

    how can i put it... harrison is truly screwed in this fight. way out of his depth.

    Jason Cook was on the verge of being stopped when he sparked Sandro Casamonica with one punch.

    It's a myth because if you're deficient in skills compared to your opponent, you've got no way to land your punch. Unless the opponent gets sloppy. In which case, it's less a puncher's chance and more an idiot's mistake.

    I concur.

    It's a phrase that is banded about far too much, hence I was looking for specific examples.

    They are very few and far between.
