Pavilik said he wasn’t taking Gary Lockett lightly and would prove it in the ring. Last night, Pavilik was true to his word, blitzing the overmatched Lockett in three rounds in front of a feverish Atlantic City crowd. From the opening bell, Lockett was determined to go to toe. For his troubles, he managed to land an impressive left-hook, right-hook combination that slightly jarred the defending champion. There was only one problem for the Welshman—they were his best shots and the Youngstown hero hadn’t even warmed up yet. Midway through the first round, Pavlik found his groove, landing crisp jabs followed by his trademark sledgehammer right hand. Later in the round, another right from the undefeated Pavlik sent Lockett reeling into the corner covering up to survive the first anxious moments of the fight. Read more
