Interesting Gary Lockett Article

Says the guy that eats puffins! :shock:

Personally i'd pick Calzaghe to beat pavlik quite handily, i dont see Pavlik dealing with lateral movers very well as his style would require someone in front of him or going backwards and forwards (e.g. Miranda, Taylor). Calzaghe has great lateral movement and Pavlik would find it hard to land the 35%- 40% of punches.

 

I don't think what Calzaghe said was at all unreasonable; Pavlik's easier to hit than both Winky and Taylor so Lockett stands more of a punchers chance against him than he does against the others. Lockett can certainly bang and Pavlik's no defensive master so catching him flush wouldn't be that much of a surprise.

As for the Calzaghe - Pavlik comments, if anybody thinks Calzaghe's going to be beaten to the punch by Pavlik, you're having a laugh. Joe may throw looping punches from time to time, but he's also got a much more varied arsenal than Kelly.

Joe proved against Kessler that he can throw short, sharp, straight punches and he subsequently beat Mikkel to the punch all night long. If you think Pavlik has faster hands than Kessler, you've clearly no idea. Even more ridiculous is the idea that Pavlik could beat Calzaghe to the punch given that both his hand and foot speed are a fraction of Joe's. There's a slight chance Pavlik may win, but I can guarantee you it won't be because he was quicker to the punch.

 

Ya'll go ahead and keep goin on ahead JetSki and Boo! Nice job holding down the fort in here.

 

The guy's obviously not very thick skinned. He's a major underdog that most people outside the UK haven't even heard of. Why should anyone rally behind him? It's not like he's the first fighter to have been written off prior to a fight. He wants respect? Let him go in there and earn it.

 

I thought Jack Lowe was just trying to get into Jermain's head when he said, "Kelly does it one handed" refering to the photo's of Jermain surfacing beating a tire. But...

Being that I'm brainwashed by the American media that the UK posters know so much more about than us actual Americans, I admit I don't know all there is to know about every aspect of Joe's life.

But with the proof from UK posters, mind you, being surfaced here lately that not only had Eubank (clearly listed all the god damned time as one of Joe's only big wins) been quite inactive for up to 2 years prior, he took the fight on 2 weeks notice!!!!?? It had also been pointed out by UK posters that the only fight/fights Eubank had taken place in, in that 2 year span was some exhibition **** in Dubai!!.

 

ha ha good one. kelly gets his bald head beated all night long. pavlik does not move enough for joe. easy UD for joe IMO

kelly is too easy to hit end of

 

Please enlighten me as to when Kelly has been hit a bunch of times, all your going to be able to give me is the 2nd round of one fight in which he was being cocky and got caught for it, against an Olympic medalist. In the Miranda fight, Kelly was hit by about 5 right hands, and what else?? Anything? Did you see the Zertuche fight?? KP looked like Winky in that fight, until he found his range and put a nasty sleeper on Zertuche.

Better yet, name me one time including the JT 1 fight that Pavlik even had a little swelling, bruising, black eye, anything other than a bloody nose?? Name 1.

Yeah, his defence is just terrible.

 

Yep Eubank was hardly in his prime for that fight. But it would be a mistake to consider him shot. He was still dangerous and Calzaghe was a complete novice at the time not having fought anyone even remotely worldclass. Eubank continued to fight at worldclass for a while after and should have won the cruiser title but he'd been gunshy since the Michael Watson tragedy. Carl Thompson was a sitting duck at one point in their first fight.
I'm a Calzaghe fan and rate him highly but I'm no nuthugger (you can check my previous posts if you really can be bothered) and like other fans I dont think it unreasonable to state that I think he's a class above Pavlik in terms of talent. What annoys me is when those opinions are ridiculed by posters who are bigging up their own fighter like Pavlik. If posters cant be objective then I cant understand how they can derive any enjoyment from discussion. They're no better than cheerleaders imo.

P.S. I accept there are some right psychos who are Calzaghe fans as well.

 

Yeah, I came across a little "strong opinioned" in that post, which I usually try not to. But TFFP was using his "elite-ist" stance of being Joe C. fan so I came off differently than I like to on here.

 

has he ever fought anyone with the speed of JC, please dont say jermain taylor, he might be quick but he hits about as hard as paul malignaggi. JC will hit harder quicker and be harder to hit then pavlik is used to. pavlik may hurt JC but JC never loses this fight, P.S i gave Pavlik and JT2 to JT by 2 rounds. was not at all impressed by pavlik

 

It's funny how people are writing Lockett off...they obviously have just looked up boxrec and not seen him fight.

Gary's a good boxer, with great power and he will be in fantastic shape. Yes he's an underdog but people are writing him off because they havn't seen him, not because of how good a boxer he is.
