    You know like where one guy is getting totally beat up then...bang a KO out of the blue for the losing guy. Off the top of my head example....Tommy Hearne v Iran Barkley in their first fight. Tommy was bashing Barkley up in fine style. Barkley's face was bashed up to then 1 big shot out of nowhere and he's banged Hearns out.

    Let's have some fights or clips of such....then we can look em up on YouTube if we've not previously seen them.

    Cheers guys

    Rocky Marciano vs Jersey Joe Walcott I is a classic example.

    Rocky Marciano suffers a flash knockdown in the first round. He then got cut and was partially blinded for at least 3 rounds, because his corner used a caustic colagulant called "dynamite" on a cut on one of Rocky's eyebrows, and were then rinsing his eyes in between rounds, which then caused the substance to run into Marciano's eyes. He's getting pounded on by Walcott -- an excellent and Heavyweight at that time -- but around the 7th through to the end of the 11th, Rocky begins to mount a strong comeback. But in the 12th round, Walcott takes over again and gives Marciano such a sustained beating in the round, that the referee was on the verge of stopping the fight. He's behind on all 3 judge's scorecards after 12 rounds, and then in the 13th he landed an absolute monster of a right hand to lay out Walcott and become World Heavyweight Champion.

    Best one I know of is Jorge Castro tko'ing John David Jackson. I am not a believer in lucky punches, as luck is what I call preparation and opportunity intersecting...but this is as close as I can find to a lucky punch and a dominated fighter snatching victory from the jaws of defeat

    Toney v Nunn
    Nunn was whitewashing Toney early, Toney
    eventually turned it around, dug himself
    back into the fight. A beautiful left hook
    (was really a left cross because he switched feet) and
    the rest was history.
