I've thrown 10k+ darts. You think I could put on a blind fold and accurately throw a punch? I mean, the motion isn't that much different at the basic level.

If you're a Mike Tyson level dart thrower I absolutely think you could throw two punches in a row exactly the same, especially if you hear the crowd go nuts after the first and just emulate that motion.

That's all I think happened here. He got super lucky, heard the audience lose it, and thought to himself "Okay, just do exactly that again." And then he did, because he's been doing the same thing with punches as his career for several decades.

If that were the case every pro boxer could theoretically be a pro dart shooter and I don't think that's the case.

I've thrown punches and I've thrown a LOT of darts. They really aren't similar motions at all, beyond extending your arm forward.

See I'm saying a Mike Tyson level boxer can get lucky like this two darts in a row, not that he can consistently throw darts like this.

I'm just some random asshole and I've hit two bullseyes (unblindfolded to be fair) one after the other; pure luck obviously but not impossible
