Pavlik too fight Gary Lockett!!!!

You get an A+ in English for the day.:rasta

 

Dude...where did you find your avatar?

 

:good

 

The last time I checked Abraham had a fight scheduled for June 7th at MSG against an opponent TBA. That's obviously the Pavlik/Duddy undercard. Now that the Pavlik/Duddy fight is off the table for awhile I'm sure they will move Pavlik's fight to Atlantic City, and AA will move right along with him. Andy Lee signed with Top Rank, and was guaranteed appearances on at least two Pavlik undercards, so we may see him in Atlantic City as well.

Lockett is the #1 ranked WBO contender. Pavlik has to fight his mandatories, or he gets stripped and can't unify. Arthur needs exposure in the USA. Andy Lee needs to fight somebody with a heart beat.

June 7th in Atlantic City could look something like this:
Andy Lee/Giovanni Lorenzo
Arthur Abraham/Fulgencio Zuniga
Kelly Pavlik/Gary Lockett

However the exact line-up looks it will all be carefully orchestrated so that Pavlik, Abraham, and Lee all came away looking like monsters.

Boo

 

good for Pavlik, he deserves a gimme...

let AA fight some real comp...howabout Winky

let Sturm challenge himself

 

Winky wants to fight Sturm in late summer...

 

There is not a whole lot to do for Pavlik at 160. There is Abraham, who is a good fighter (overated however) but still a worthy opponent. Wright is past prime, but still deserves another shot I suppose, and other than these two, fighting 2 unbeaten (flawed, but exciting) prospects like Duddy and Lorenzo would be acceptable.

But thats it really, unless Andy Lee is up to the task in a year or two. SMW is the place to be right now.

 

I'll bet he does.

 

Only if they manage to get the fight in before this Saturday :deal

 

How long has Lockett been with Enzo Mac?

 

I know what you mean with that final point Boo, but whoever they throw in with Zuniga just might come away with a L.

 

According to some rumour Abraham will fight on Pavlik's undercard after he has defeated his next opponent Ayala in order to promote a showdown with Pavlik on American soil.
Guess that someone like Lorenzo,Duddy,Mora or Griffin may be his opponent for his first fight on American soil.

 

agreed mate. abraham is a good fight

 

Lockett trains with the Calzaghe's and has a great left hook and Is sharp with the straight shots.

Better than Duddy. He just needs better tune ups.

 

Lockett is very fit and a much bigger puncher than his record suggests. He has a good chin so do not expect a blowout in 3 rounds. Pavlik is over rated.
