Lockett is pretty much a stand up slugger with good power but a guy must be elusive to have a chance against Pavlik, Lockett has no head movement so I can see him being dusted quite early. He would have to catch Kelly with a pretty mean shot to KO him, Pavlik has never been out before against big punchers. Pavlik KO3
exactly ... imagein if it was 1990 .. and everybody on this forum was talking about douglas vs tyson...everyone would have picked tyson...and tomorrow morning? everyone would have known all along tyson would fail due to some stupid insider bull**** they claim to have
Pavlik is too tall and too strong and throws too many punches to let Lockett get close enough to do the damage. Lockett would have to be made of iron to close the distance. My take anyhow.
I give anyone the slightest chance. I'm not completely sold on Pavlik. I think his reign will end soon, but I also think that he's probably going to beat Lockett.
Lets put it this way: Lockett has as much chance in this one as Gomez had against Cotto. He's totally overmatched and I dont think Kelly is interested in going rounds with this type of rival. The fight ends inside 5.
I expect a somewhat similar fight unless Pavlik's dark side comes out and he just does this to him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z_OhYaDy5k&feature=related
Cotto is several league above Pavlik. Lockett would appear to have 0 chance. Pavliks jab with keep hitting home right form the start...then he'll throw in the rights.
