    Troll thread.

    Probably from a Wilder fan.

    I´m almost certain Andy intentionally tried to hurt AJ, so not exactly lucky.

    The 2nd knockdown the blob backed him into the corner, and jabba'd the crap out of him. No shots around the back of the heads there!

    A few years ago I noticed a slew of new accounts being made and padded with comments like "yes", "agree" and "."

    I'm thinking somebody just activated their alt account army.

    If you think it’s a joke why don’t you put your money on Ruiz considering he gets +250? Professional sports betting certainly believes it was a lucky shot and they’re betting on it.

    Lucky punches aren’t real

    You throw a punch to hurt or set up another punch to hurt

    I hate that argument

    I don't entirely disagree. Not exactly a lucky punch, but AJ made a big mistake thinking Ruiz was more hurt. I totally disagree with all the alarmists saying AJ has no chance against Ruiz. That was not a rabbit punch though.

    Skill shot comes with intention and accuracy. Lucky shot comes with your opponent being careless and you not even aiming and just swinging in hopes of you catching your opponent off guard, which happened with AJ. Had they both had proper boxing stance without all that stumbling and Ruiz did that, then I’ll give him the credit he deserves. Everything after the lucky concussion shot was the aftermath of carelessness.

    Lucky punches exist. Don't think that one was one, but they do exist. When basketball players throw the ball from one side of the court to another at the last second and make the basket, is it not luck because their intention was to make it? Of course it's luck. Yeah they are more likely to make it than some random person, but it's still a lot of luck.

    Liston was favored over Ali in the rematch. Tyson was favored over Holyfield in their rematch.

    Liston lasted one. Tyson was punching cops before the third round bell could officially sound.

    Making one of those shots is thousands of times harder than landing a punch when someone stands in front of you

    Ruiz is like Maidana and Mathysse his punches loop in a weird way and land behind the ear and yes he does target AJ's back of head in the fight watch it again but this time be looking out for back of head shots.Ruiz bangs Aj to the back of the head several times on the break and gets away with it.
