Gary Lockett???? Any info at all PLEASE!!

[pipe wrenched]

Pav's gonna be squaring up with Lockett in June, just wondering if anybody has any footage, links, stories, etc.. as he is unknown in the US. He appears to have a good record with high KO %. Don't know any the names really, but I know that doesn't mean a damn thing.

Anything would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

[JETSKI]

I just made a post in the British Forum & we'll see if anyone can post a vid of this guy.

No HVAC work today?:think

Damn economy sucks. But we're bringing democracy to Iraq though!:-(

[TFFP]

Has a fairly good amateur record, 80 wins in 88 fights winning lots of British junior titles and the European youth gold medal

He was a real slugger in his early days, but he's been slightly refined by Enzo, much like Maccarinelli

Has had a lot of injuries which really held up his progress. As an unbeaten novice he was rated as a real prospect, but he just sort of disapeared off the radar with his injuries and personal shit

Yeah, no shit. Go Bush!! (cock sucker!!:fire ).

Materials sky rocketing, no one wanting to spend BIG $$ to do little projects, not even getting into the big projects. Price of gas??? I don't know what the hell we're going to do.

Thanks TFFP!! We are truly kind of in the dark on this guy, and going by his record, he's not to be taken lightly.:deal

Not many know much about him in the UK either, I can't remember too many of his fights being aired

Looked like his career was just drifting away, and suddenly he pops up with this fight :nut

Yeah when you can't find footage on the internet, wtf is goin on?:rofl
Still we surely can't sleep on this guy. He's team Calzaghe right??

Well, I guess he has a slim punchers chance. But it's difficult to say he hits any harder than Jermain Taylor, Taylor probably would knock out his competition at a similar ratio

Problem is, I don't see him getting past Pavlik's jab and he really suffers in height and reach - he's small. When he can't do that, he'll start backing up and getting peppered with 1 2's. His defence isn't outstanding, you only have to look at his face after fights!

[ThePlugInBabies]

so was enzo macca, look what happened to him when he stepped into the ring with someone who outgunned him.

lockett hasn't been on tv in the UK since last april on the calzaghe-manfredo undercard and even then it was on some tucked away channel (itv2) before the main event took place on a more high profile channel.

[robpalmer135]

Lockett is fit, can take a punch and dish out ounishment himself. He is not technicly gifted, but Pavlik is not Mayweather.

He has the ability to make Pavlik look very ordinary and give him 12 hards round. Imagine Hatton vs Urango.

[pipe wrenched]

Thanks fellas. All info appreciated!!

[headhunter]

I haven't seen him in years but If I remember rightly hes a blown up LMW with a big punch.Pavik is a hell of a lot bigger.

[Boro chris]

If he's trained by Enzo he'll come in fit and motivate. Cant vouch for his ability though. No footage of him anywhere.:-(

So who would be who?? Are you saying after 6 rounds Pav will be grappling and holding on for dear life?? Or other way around??:D

[Pimp C]

This is a garbage fight for Kelly, Lockett is a club fighter.

[pipe wrenched]

From the pictures at fight news Pavlik does look to be a hell of a lot bigger. Not many at MW as tall/big as Pav any ways, but still, quite a difference in height for sure.

pavlik is better skilled than some give him credit for. it's just that's he's as quick to turn full circle as a jet carrier that makes him look less than refined at times.

pavlik will blow lockett out, hatton-urango is a bizarre comparison to say the least.

[TFFP]

Lockett definitely looks like a JMW, and he'd have much more chance in that division. Abraham and Pavlik are way too big - and good.

While admiting to knowing nothing about Lockett, and trying with open imagination, I couldn't make much connection either.:lol:

But all info IS appreciated.

WOW, thanks headhunter!!

1. He does seem very humble and likable guy.
2. He does look pretty small standing there in a couple of ways.
3. WHAT kind of injuries???

[TFFP]

He's had hand injuries, not sure what else

[JETSKI]

This is a garbage fight for Kelly, Lockett is a club fighter.

Its one of Kellys mandatories. Whats he suppose to do? He's got to fight these guys sooner or later. After this one is out of the way, he'll go belt hunting again.

I had a info about him, he is a undeserving challenger, and he had fought a lot of bums.

[dwilson]

Lockett is not the best opponent for Pavlik but due to the lack of decent opponets stateside Pavlik has got to fight guys from Europe.

Or he could just fight blown up welters and light welters like the two champs before him did.

Lockett is his WBO mandatory. Might as well get it out of the way now, to clear the road for "better" fights.

Yep. Definetly a good chance to clear his mandatory against a guy who is an amazing underdog and who prob does not deserve a top ten position.

But the "better" fights do not look too great.

Who would you have lined up for a fight with Pavlik apart from the two German belt holders? It is poor when the two guys most noted for a fight with Pavlik are Duddy and Winky.

[ApatheticLeader]

The things that bugs me is that Macca looked good that night - until Haye started throwing punches. If Macca had fought decent opponents in the month before that fight, he'd have stood a great chance :fire

[Pimp C]

I understand the mandatory thing and I'm not blaming Kelly. It just sucks he's fighting a no-hoper like Lockett.

[robpalmer135]

So who would be who?? Are you saying after 6 rounds Pav will be grappling and holding on for dear life?? Or other way around??:D

No as in a fit and tough fighter will make a supposed pound for pund guy look average.

In a recent interview he said he was never a true light middle. one thing he is defo not is a blown up light middle, he will certianly come in at 159 - 160lbs, and that will be all muscle, unlike alot of other calzaghe fighters

[pipe wrenched]

Yeah, Pavlik is currently head and shoulders above now that JT and Miranda left town. Not at all his fault though, it's up to the other dudes to step it up.

[booklord]

I understand the mandatory thing and I'm not blaming Kelly. It just sucks he's fighting a no-hoper like Lockett.

With Abraham setting a fight for June 7th as well and possibly even appearing on the Pavlik-Lockett undercard it seems to me that their setting up a unification fight in the fall.

After that I think Calzaghe is going to offer Pavlik the spot on his last SMW defense ever before permanantly moving up to LHW.

With that sort of potential schedule I got no problem with Pavlik making an easy mandatory defense.

[booradley]

Jack Leow said Lockett reminds him of Zertuche. If that's true, it's very good for Kelly. Maybe not so good for Lockett:nut

[ikeabuchia]

If any one checked out the Yuri Tsarenko, The fight was brutal, Gary looked like the elephant man after, He has got a huge heart and took some ridiculous shots, even though he was coming forward Yuri was picking his shots, I personally thought the fight shouldave bin stopped after the 9th round , But Lockett gradually got his way back into the fight and lost Unanimously, Make no mistake Gary can bang, I havent seen him since his loss, but prior to the Yuri fight, He looked solid, Not the fastest, But heart wise World class,
Not sure How his power would stand up to Pavlik,
after weighing up the positive and negatives in both,
Theres a possibility that Pavlik will take gary out just after the half way session say TKO7, the reason I say, TkO as opposed to KO, is the heart of Lockett, i.e. (will power coupled with pride) The referee will see to much unnecessary punishment and wave off the fight,
Pavliks reach and and steel determination and a sickening a ramrod jab, working his man towards the ropes, (corner)
If Gary can work out how to get pass the reach and jab, and land good body shots (Not head shots) thers is a 45 % possibilty he will prevail, if he can not be put off by pavlik power which is a BIG IF and utilise a smart tactics, can win by split,

[Bigcat]

He featured highly as a strong puncher in a chock full of talent Light middle division in Britain.. He was known as Gary the rocket Lockett. He was a likeable well spoken very well conditionned fighter , he was racing out to the head of his class then he lost in what seekmed a shock at the time, he is very brave and can punch.. But like someone said.. He has been out of the picture for ages and BANG... here is a great opportunity..

[booradley]

That's an intersting film clip, but it's hard to judge a guy based on 2 rounds from 13 or 14 fights ago. About like watching Anthony Ivory take Pavlik the 8 round distance, and then deciding he had no potential.

As long as Kelly comes in fully prepared, and ready to go to work, I don't think Lockett will pose much of a problem. I can't imgagine Kelly underestimating a guy and failing to train hard. So far I think we are looking at something similar to Pavlik/Zertuche, but my opinion could change with additional information.

Boo

[teetop]

I remember that fight several years ago. he was a bloody mess in that fight. he had never fought someone as tough as tsarenko and it showed. as it stands today, the best win on his resume is fellow brit
middleweight ryan rhodes. so, in conclusion. there is nothing that lockett has done so far in his career that suggests that he has a snowballs chance in hell against pavlik, and i'm not being closed minded
by saying that. it's just truth.

[nickthegreek]

This is a garbage fight for Kelly, Lockett is a club fighter.

How would you know that? You know nothing about Lockett, us brits know practically fuckall about this guy. Good stamina, decent power. Thats all we have to go off. To say he is a club fighter when you have probably seen nothing of this guy is silly.

Nobody knows how good he is until he gets tested off the best.

Beat me too it. Lockett fucked up his hand in that fight and fought totally different to what he would normally do (from what i've seen anyway)

Don't write this guy off because you don't recognise any names on his record, this is boxing, anything can happen.

Do i think he can win, NO, is it a possibility... YES!
