Any one think Lockett can pull an upset?
Having actually made the effort to watch a bit of Lockett recently... HELL no.
No....till someone can bully up and keep pavlik from making guys fight going backwards he'll beat most of the guys he faces right now. Not all but most. I think this is just a set up for bigger things and lockett is in way over his head.
Nope. From what ive read he doesn't seem to give himself a hope in hells. He does have a decent punch.. albeit at a lower level.
I was just contemplating backing Pavlik to KO him in the 1st round (14/1)
:scratchchin:

Fact - Lockett has an inflated rating.
Fact - The odds are against him.
Fact - He is a good honest pro and a good guy .
Fact - He will bring all to the table.
Fact - He will lose by KO.
Those are my thoughts.
I'm with you, he seems to be saying all the right things but I just get the impression that he's glad of the final payday, and (while he obviously would like to win) the genuine 'Rocky' like hunger to overcome the odds just isn't there.Quote:

Lockett is 14-1 just for a straight win!!Im betting on him even known Pavlik will win(pavlik70,to Lockett 30)but it's the old saying AGAIN....It only takes one punch to change a fight and bring a big surprise to the game.It's happened before and it'll happen in the near future...Could happen on the 7th of june(History in the making!)thats why im putting a £10 bet on Lockett....YOU NEVER KNOW!Great odds for a two horse race:lickish:;D
true you never know! bet a few people made alot of money off Douglas beating Tyson! Think Ill be more likely to put a ton on Pavlik winning by ko 1-6, haven't checked the oods yet though!Quote:

Well i like Pavlik too and i'll have a round bet on him to.It'll be great if Lockett wins,but i know the obvious outcome on Pavlik,but still there are great odds for a gamely"Nothing to lose"opponant(LOCKETT).Quote:

Think it could be similar to the Tito Trinidad- Kevin Lueshing fight from a few years ago.
who's your cash on then mate?Quote:

whats the odds for him(Pavlik)to win in round 4 like mate,and how much are you putting on it?Quote:

Dont know the odds yet, i will decide nearer the time. Got a few wrong recently and cost me a few quid. lol.
I was convinced David Haye would beat Enzo yet i had a stupid idea on the last day that Enzo would find a big punch and put £20 on. Idiot! lol.
I thought that when the fight was first made. Pavlik is far from bombproof.. it wouldn't be a surprise to see Lockett have some success.Quote:

Once Pavlik starts flushing him with the right hand it'll be time to get the cheque.
Pavlik is generally 8/1 to win in round 4 ;)
I'd go for the round 4 one. Locket might not get that far but Pavlik's only got like six first round stoppages and 5 of them were in his first ten or twelve fights.
I should do that much research on the prediction contest, not for bets I have no plans to make.
:lol:
So everyone agrees it's an early night for Pavlik.
Think i'll go with the points win then ;)
I can't see anything other than a Pavlik KO or TKO, although I'll be cheering for Lockett. I reckon if I watch boxing for another thirty years or so I'm going to see half a dozen Gary Locketts beat their Kelly Pavliks and this is one fight I'd like the underdog to win.
Why?Quote:
