This has been in the pipeline for quite a while, and Lockett is Pavlik's mandatory for one of the belts I believe, so its not too much of a surprise to see that happen.

Lockett will get his arse spanked by Pavlik, although both of them can bang a bit. Lockett has looked a bit up and down in his fights, didn't even look that impressive against reasonable British competition like Ryan Rhodes, so I fully expect him to get beat. Fair play though, if he puts up a brave performance against Pavlik it'll do his career the world of good both in terms of profile and reputation.
