Anyone backing Lockett?

Has Lockett got ANY chance against Pavlik. He's recently said that he and Enzo have figured out Pavlik who they say is predictable. Can the Rocket pull of the upset ?


"Pavlik's brilliant at what he does," said Cwmbran's Lockett, a huge underdog for the 7 June bout in Atlantic City.
"But he's no Floyd Mayweather, Joe Calzaghe or Miguel Cotto, he doesn't have their all-round game.
"We know what he'll do, come forward at a pace and put it all through the left hand. We've got a game plan for it."

He has almost no chance. I have no idea how he got this shot against Pavlik, I just hope he gets through it without getting hit too much. As for the "puncher's chance", I just don't see it at all.

 

Hey he has a small chance

 

Just a "punchers chance"; nothing else.

 

I think he's capable of pulling It off the upset, Taylor being explosive In the 1st fight had Pavlik down but he was too negative to finish him and Lockett Is an explosive puncher. Lockett's got good straights and left hook too.

Pavlik's limited In the defense and technique department.

My only worry Is Lockett's record has too many journeymen tuneups on, but he has the style to upset Pavlik and has a good chin.

The Middleweight champs aren't exactly strong champs either who stand out very much.

 

I already have backed him.

 

Lockett is technically nowhere near as good as Taylor...so bit of a bad comparison there imo.

If Kelly can walk through and beat up a big puncher like Miranda, them im sure he can demolish Lockett inside 5 rounds.

 

I thought you had a good understanding of boxing...

I just hope he doesnt get seriously hurt

 

It would be one of the biggest upsets in boxing history if Lockett beat Pavlik.

Lockett marks up badly around the eyes and if Pavlik does'nt put him out cold with a legit KO the fight will be stopped when Locketts face is looking like a raw hamburger. :yep

 

If one of ours is fighting a yank and is a massive underdog it's worth 50p.

 

I really want him to win but like most people I can not see it happening.



CMON Lockett.

 

this is the fight ive been waiting for for quite awhile

i hope gary lockett can do the impossible tyson douglas come to mind any1!

 

A punchers chance, although if the odds are as long as they could be (10 - 1 maybe?0 I'll have a tenner on it

 

I to believe Pavlik is predictableand pretty one paced, but he will still be to much for Lockett.

This is an ideal time for Enzo to have a look at Pavlik for Joes fight with him.

 

Pavlik in p4p terms sucks but he's huge at the weight.... Lockett is pretty small, I'm right behind him and want him to win but its going to be very tough. Really looking forward to it though.
