Lockett is a decent puncher and Pavlik has looked vulnerable on occasion.
Of course Kelly is overwhelming favourite but you never know.
100-1? No chance, more like 10-1....
Of course he's a puncher.
Didn't you see his incredible demolition jobs on world class operators like Lee Blundell and Gilbert Eastman? Far better than knocking out stiffs like Jose Zertuche,Edison Miranda and Jermaine Taylor!

Maybe you should watch some of his earlier fights then

That weak chinned bum Pavlik hasn't got a chance
Do you want to read my post again mate, then come back, pull your finger out of your a*** and post something constructive?
I said he has a chance, you come back with a pathetic little dig. Who said knocking out Blundell is better than Miranda, I didn't!

Pavlik should get little credit for stopping the unskilled plodder.
He is no slickster, I will give you that, but what he lacks in skills he makes up for with his dangerous bang - did you see what he did to Paul Smith's old mate??
He also gave Abrahams murder in Germany, braking his jaw in the process, so I dont think he can be purely dismissed as a 'terrible' fighter.

Thats right.
He can KO anybody. Pity he was drugged before his first fight with Yuri Tsarenko. Thats the only way Gary could have been beaten. His KO win over Pavlik is a foregone conclusion.

If you're that confident then definitely have a bet on the fight. You'll get great odds.

Bookies are rarely wrong with odds like 50/1 or 100/1 so lets be honest they dont fancy the Welshmans chances and neither do I. It would be great, in fact fantastic, if Lockett could pull off the win but I just cant see it happening.

When Dann fought Eastman in 2003 bookies weren't taking odds on Eastman as they thought that the fight was a formality. Internet betting wasn't big then and I was traveling, my dad got odds of 7-1 or 6-1 on Dann from a bookies in Plymouth, which probably was a bit shit as it's Scott's home town, but should give you an idea of what a outsider should be getting..
I agree Kelly for a man is not the most masculine name but look at poor old John Wayne growing up with the name Marion. There are big beefy Yanks called Tracey as well. Do you remember the Johnny Cash song "boy named Sue"? At the end of the song the father says to his son "I wanted you to grow up tough, thats why I gave you that name" Maybe Pavliks parents had a similar idear. Anyway Kelly Pavlik is the champ regardless of his name and its going to take a very good fighter to beat him, and I dont honestly see Lockett as that fighter.

Gary Lockett has KO power in either hand and if he catches anyone in the division they will be knocked out cold

I think you're exaggerating Locketts power
I agree. The knockout percentage is good (about 70%), but achieved at a low level in world terms. Lockett seems a great bloke and I wish him well, but - if you look carefully at his record - it is not easy to make a case for his deserving a "world" title shot.
8/1 is about right I guess, but I still think Lockett hits hard enough to give Pavlik a few surprises.
Ok the form says no comparison, but you'll hear a lot of people in the UK game say that Lockett is a genuine out & out puncher, and has been since his amateur days.
