Kelly Pavlik vs. Gary Lockett talk about upcoming bout

[sweettartasb]

kelly pavlik is the best middleweight right now hes at his prime and on top of his game ..hopefully he'll be facing joe calzaghe the pride of wales and it'll show what middleweight is all about

[brewcitybroker]

They picked Lockett because he was built to order and would make them look good. I get the whole set up and build more interest so you can get a bigger gate thing. Let's hope that was a one time thing.

[brewcitybroker]

I guess you can give Pavlic a pass on this last tomato can because he has fought top guys in each of his prior 4. He's not someone who will hide from guys. The sport is getting hurt though because of all the tune up fights and fights that are just done because to please a mexican fan base-a lot of the recent Delahoya fights. It should be the best against the best -that would create a LOYAL fan base. These crapy mathcups have killed it.

[gargola440]

against kimbo lets see

[madmaxsdp]

if you gave kelly one clean shot at kimbo's face, kimbo would go down like a bitch made niggah he is.

[provekyl]

youv obviously got no boxing knowledge at all if your talkin about Kimbo. fuckin unreal the morons who say stupid shit on this site

[tomassinbrooklyn]

baseball bat....... the other youngstown fighting style! lol

[brewcitybroker]

This tomato can will be lucky to make it out of round 3. I'd like to see Pavlic move up to Super Middleweight and take on Kessler.

[brewcitybroker]

Disappointed in Pavic with this fight. Lockett is meaningless. What's it prove? He's just a journeymen.

[temahoney]

not his fault, lockett was the Mandatory #1 contender, Pavlik had to box him, or give up a belt. not kellys fault.

[brewcitybroker]

That's Bull Shit! They "could" have vacated the belt- They NEVER would have though -it was one of the meaningless belts anyways-not the WBC, WBA, or IBF -It was the frickin WBO. Who really cares about belts anymore? Pavlic fought this fight so he could get on a national stage and look good to raise interest for a big fight. This kind of tomato can tune up fight on a national stage is killing the sport. fight-Abraham, Kessler, Calzaghe,fuck me even Sergio Mora would have been better.

[temahoney]

point well taken, but hey....they are in it to make money...and after years and years of grinding it out, its Pavliks turn. ..and yes, the WBO means nothing (IBF too)...and apparentley your right about ol`sergio mora....

[seerauberjohnny]

Interesting training method pavlik has chopping away at the bag with a baseball bat-It reminds you that Ernie shavers used to be a lumberjack-to which he attributed his fearsome power!

[whoodkid]

great attitude by lockett too bad he might lose to pavlik.. pavlik is a awesome boxer with great power

[MattShep85]

cant wait!!!! even if im pretty sure pavlik will outpower him, i still cant wait for it.

[KLC899]

This guy Lockett is too nice. "Well even if I lose..." WTF is that all about. A champion never says shit like that. If you are fighting for the world championship, you are there to do whatever you have to do to win.

[mancunian1234]

Enzo spat his dummy out at Leow.Its got to be a win for Pavlik.He comes to the fight with a pedigree.Lockett hasn`t.

[kylecyclopdoddsmole]

Kelly is only 26 aswell, i think he has at least anutha 6 years left of his prime. If he fights the best people out there i think he will be remembered in years to come

[ibeayankee2]

yah baby the fight is getting closer cant fucken wait i dont think pavlik should go up in his weight class yet

[dellahoyasmc]

Pavlik is a legend. never saw lockett fighting before so it should be intrestin

[mrsilencio323]

he aint a legend yet he still has a long way to go but i think he'll get there

[dellahoyasmc]

He will defo be a legend 100% fact but you are spot on

[chadazee23]

he'll beat lockett but calzaghe wud bang him!

[alectrifyingalex]

fuk off tht faggot calzaghe wud get assholed by the ghost!!

[mancunian1234]

Calm down.

[meatwad33]

I am a fan of both Pavlik and Calzaghe, two great fighters, and I would have to go with Calzaghe on that one. He has the style and the heart to beat Pavlik. I think it would be an instant classic.

[NormenBatez]

Lockett is toast

[CoffeeAchiever]

This Gary Lockett seems like a real class act. Nice and respectful. I hope Kelly doesn't give him too severe a beating. The ref shouldn't wait forever to step in.

[AsterixInstincts]

Both guys are very likeable and I bet they're going to put on a good fight. Can't wait.

[freewillyplz]

lol at all americans that call calzaghe a slapper! 45 boxers

[DefaultPosition]

Are they going to let Pavlik use that baseball bat in the fight?

[jbirdy30]

come on gary. good luck dude!!!

[JosePerez2200]

Pavlik would probably end joe calzaghe's career because his jaw would shatter from Pavlik's right jab.

[Brothe1]

i don't know about that, jose. if kessler couldn't shatter his jaw i doubt pavlik has enough power to do it. I think mikkel kessler and kelly pavlik are at the same level in terms of power. pavlik is a good fighter but calzaghe is too elusive and quick to get caught. i see this fight going the same way that kessler-calzaghe went. i think kessler-pavlik would be an awesome fight but i dont see it happening for a long time if ever.

[numnut79]

Yeah but Kessler doesn't have the kind'a heart, determination and killer instinct that Pavlik has. Plus Pavlik's taller and rangeier than Kessler. I think Pavlik is somewhat one-dimensional but I give him a better shot to beat Calzagay than Kessler.

[bobbrode314]

Clazaghe has nothing that could hurt Pavlik. Joe can maybe slap his way to a win over a 43 year old Hopkins but not Pavlik.

[IrishBoxingClub]

hope to see pavlik fight calzaghe. what a great fight that will be

[carrtex]

Calzaghe vs Pavlik would be the biggest fight out there in terms of meaning.

[marti32]

joe would smash him, i love to see the fight.

[makajam]

Joe Calzaghe fears Kelly Pavlik!

[17brandiff]

Pavlik a monster!!!
