Pavlik to fight Gary Lockett?

[Master]

Lockett is a good guy but not world class. He has a big punch but Pavlik would stop him midway into the fight.

Lockett is good ................................thats it , hes not even european top fighter , he has a joke world title , and is a good puncher at domestic level , thats all he brings to the table .
Pavlik KO 2 .
Saint Johns ambulance men in Locketts corner.

Thankyou Mr Warren for once again pissing in the eyes of real boxing fans by calling a guy like Lockett a WORLD champ , rot in hell Warren you cock sucker.

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.

its a rare occasion when i don't go for my home town boy, but yeah of course pavlik should win this. honestly tho i dont think gary will shame him self, i think he will do a decent job, its hard for anyone to go 12 with pavlik who hits hard as fuck and throws like a muthfucka, it will be a task, but i think lockets name will improve a fair bit after this fight.

he does throew great straight rights, if he can work them into his game with pavlik he can trouble him a bit and goa good few rounds.

i don;t see kelly slamming him early tho, i think locket can do better than miranda.

Lockett has decent power at domestic level, never been in world level. First half of his career was at LM where he looked impressive but went off the boil a bit after his loss. He also had a very close fight in his first Middle fight against a journeyman when his power didn't seem to carry.

It seems he could make the fight with Pavlik if accepted lower money than the other contenders, which he should do as it is the only opportunity he'll get.
