    Rhodes caused Lockett problems with his power and Pavlik probably has more power (although not the same style) as Rhodes.

    Rhodes has superb power (especially at LMW).

    So I guess Pavlik has greater power than Rhodes. But whatever Kimbo Slice is the best :scaredas:

    Lockett is slow as ****, easy to hit and his much vaunted power is in reality managing to knock over a few tomato cans. He'll be doing well not to get banjoed inside 2 rounds.
    I think Pavlik is getting way overhyped now but in all honesty I want him to win this.

    How good is Pavlik? He is still a relativley new World Champion he has more to prove before what start regarding him as a really top fighter. Ok he beat Miranda and Taylor - but they are two opponnets lets see how he gets on against a few more big names.

    Why do you want a skinny redneck to beat the Rockett man?

    Locketts not super fast but he does have explosive speed and power to cause Pavlik problems.

    Put it this way I would put any money on it.

    However i am getting behind him, you gotta give him big props. he could have fought WBU bums and wated for Pavlik to move up next year and fight for the vacant title, but no hes going to what might as be the home town, of the number 1 in the division, a guy who has knocked out all but 2 opponents, whos ranked in the top 10 of everyone P4P and thats what allot of fighters that are more skilled and have better records would not be prepared to do.

    Lockett has already gained my respect by taking the fight, and if he puts up a good show he will probs get another title shot next year, if not set up some decent domestic fight with Paul Smith, Elcock, Macklin, Eastman or even Duddy.

    He must be getting at least a £100K for the Pavlik fight.

    Why fight 20 bums defending your shitty WBU title to a earn a total of £100K when you can fight Pavlik and earn £100K for one fight. He has nothing to lose and has done nothing to earn the shot.

    Yes I am backing Gary :D
    It is a very tough task ahead but I'm Welsh, Gary's Welsh, Wales won the grandslam so I have faith in him (I'm only betting vbucks though)
