    How is this a fluke KO?

    Tszyu always timed that right hand and got it in on southpaws. Judah, Rodriguez, Mitchell, etc.. He recovered from a bad first round to have a much better second round and dropped Judah with it.

    I consider it a fluke because of the stoppage. Although Zab was KD, he got up way too quick and didn't give himself time to regain his equilibrium and he fumbled in that ridiculous manner that costed him the fight...who knows how that fight would've played out had he given himself the proper time to recover. I personally think KT would've won anyway, but it might've been far more legitimate

    It wasn't a real knockout... it was a referee stoppage.
    Gomez didn't take this fight seriously. In fact he didn't train at all for Diaz, and it has been reported that he'd been out at a club drinking until early morning the very night before the fight. So this might not be such a big fluke after all, chances for an upset were quite big here.
