    1 being the lowest I presume.

    It was a 1. It wasn't lucky in any way. Wanted Price to win the rematch but to many people need a boxing education. Hope Thompson sparks him again.

    Well he threw the punch with the intention of it landing so....

    I guess the angle that Thompson threw the punch from was awkward but I wouldn't call it lucky.

    Wasn't lucky, maybe just unlucky for Price. Not 100% sure it was a dodgy part of the head he got hit or just can't take a punch. One thing is for sure, Price is highly uncomfortable when an opponent gets in range.

    It was a good shot. I do think it was lucky though in that it did something very strange to Price. I think if it would have hit him anywhere else it wouldn't have had the same effect.

    No such thing as a lucky punch. You throw your hands then you intend to hit a target, nothing lucky about that

    When the nature of the sport is to render you're opponent unconscious, there is no such thing as a 'lucky punch'.

    Price was lucky he didn't catch him clean.

    Flush would have meant that he was laid out sparko and we would have missed the sight of Pricey doing the soft shoe shuffle when he got up. That was comedy gold, down the pub funny

    You can have a punch that has an element of luck. Where you literally just swing and hope. Audley v Sprott comes to mind. Thompson was 100% not an example of that though.

    Hand on heart when reviewing the fight it looked like Thompson was aiming for the honey punch from the first bell :scaredas:

    He didn't land it, he landed a 9%er ...

    :?

    It's cruel to laugh but being around the same time as that Harlem Shake i couldn't help it :lol:. It's the way he grabs at his legs and tries to pull them up it's like watching a robot malfunction.

    If you are talking about the KO in Aud - Sprott II there was absolutely no element of swing and hope....Audley was looking straight at him when he threw, he intended it to do what it did. The same when Sprott KO'ed Harrison, he threw the left hook with the intention of knocking Harrison over, and it did.
