To lose control
Do all three sentences sound fine to you:
- Rick lost control and punched him in the face.
- Rick lost all control and punched him in the face.
- Rick lost control of himself and punched him in the face.
The first one might sound a little odd. Also, can we use:
- Rick spiraled/got out of control and punched him in the face.
- Rick lost control and punched him in the face.
- Rick lost all control and punched him in the face.
- Rick lost control of himself and punched him in the face.
