Explain how Taylor would possibly beat Kessler.

Going on both boxers last fight it comes down to who impresses the judges most with good looking punches and form? Taylor avoided and landed against Pavlik enough, some think the decision could/should go the other way. So, this fight might not be about power, where you feel Kessler has the edge. It will be a boxing match. May the best 'flash' win.

Just a foil to your question. Not saying it is a prediction.

Launch at T Minus 60(whaever that means)
Destination: Pavlik's Chin

So, what with the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight now basically a foregone conclusion, thoughts turn to the next British challenger to light upon the shores of the US of A, Gary 'The Rocket Man' Lockett.

Now, I'll be honest here, I'm pretty sure I've seen a few of Lockett's fights on TV, but I'm buggered if I can remember any salient details. Should that stop me from boldly declaring that he'll derail the latest American hypetrain with a first round KO merely on the basis of him being British? Well it's damn well not going to!

On the other hand I can read BoxRec as well as anyone, so lets talk resumes. A quick look at Lockett's record, and a few names jump out: Howard Clarke - denizen of many victorious European Ryder Cup teams, Kevin Kelly - gave Naseem Hamed a decent match, Kai Kauramaki - never heard of him but he's got a hard sounding name. Pretty solid.

Now onto Lockett's challenger, one Kelly 'Pavlova' Pavlik. Now it's well known that ESB is a Eurobum-only forum, lacking the benefit of any American posters at all, so I'm assuming that, like me, you've never heard of the guy. So, first thing, yes it is a bloke. I know, girl's name, but I've double checked. Predictably he's never had the stones to fight outside the USA, though BoxRec doesn't specify whether he owns a passport or not.

After an early career mainly spent fighting opponents with the first name 'Boxcar', Pavlik has apparantly become something of a favourite amongst the several hundred Americans who are aware that the sport of boxing still exists. Pavlik's most notable wins have come against Germaine Taylor (I know! I know! Again, this is a bloke, really) a fighter who failed to knockdown the oldest man in the World, despite 24 rounds of trying, and Edison Miranda, who's only claim to fame is not being able to beat a German with a broken jaw.

It's fairly clear then that this is a notable step-up for Pavlik, and it won't be at all a suprise if Lockett has too much class, speed and power for him (if he actually has any of those things. Like I said, I'm not really too sure. In fact I might even be confusing him with someone else).

In conclusion, Lockett stunningKO1 Pavlik.

I say its time for the ICBM ballistic rocket to come back. The real estate industry in Wales is drying up and he's getting broke I hear. Could get some decent paydays
