A punch that landed that either got the KO, or ultimately began the build up to knocking someone out. A punch that would be considered a 1 in a million shot...IF anyone else other than said boxer had thrown it. Examples, including videos if you can, please. :good

Ali's anchor punch against Liston in Ali vs Listgon II. People were screaming FIX when it 1st happend but Cus D'Amato on ABC TV interviewed Ali believing Liston took a dive until they watched the tape and slowed it down. Listen was clearly popped right in the grill so hard and so fast that his right foot came off the ground. But you couldn't see Ali's hands at all unless you slowed the tape. also ol Cus looked pretty good shadow sparring with Ali.

I never used to believe in lucky punches. I always said there was skill involved no matter the caliber of fighter, but than I checked out the Ray Mercer/Francesco Damiani fight. Mercer really was getting his ass handed to him, than he landed a grazing uppercut that caught Damiani just right on the nose, ****ing guy started spraying blood. That **** was crazy, Mercer really did get lucky that night because he was well on his way to a wide decision loss. Damiani even did what he was supposed to do by slipping the uppercut so it didn't land flush, just a freak series of events that went in Mercers way.
Jefferson knocked Harris down three times so I wouldn't say that it was a lucky punch which turned the fight.. But yeah one of the craziest knockouts for sure..
good choice. i think the word fluke is more apt lucky imply's that you didnt want it to hurt. fluke sort of means that you hoped the best and knew what you where aiming for even though it didnt seem likely it would happen
You just lost all your credibility you British nuthugger. Let me guess. Harrisons loss to everyone else was also by 1 in million shot. So did Hayes????? Everyone would a brain will tell you McCall had a game plan vs. Lewis to counter his right with a right of his own. Worked like a charm. Andrey
I think another would be George Foremans KO over Michael Moorer! Big George was taking a lot of heat and was patient enough to wait for his opportunity and then, KO BABY!
