I didn`t need a crystal ball for this one:
"Kelly Pavlik will have his first defense of the middleweight championship this Saturday. His challenger Gary "the Rocket" Lockett is a heavy underdog, and I do not expect "the Ghost" to have much trouble with him. Pavlik (33-0, 29 KOs) will be fighting in Atlantic City, the site of his victory over then champ Jermain Taylor. The Youngstown native has a strong following, and that night the crowd was heavily in his favor. I expect another pro-Pavlik crowd on the boardwalk Saturday. Lockett (30-1, 21 KOs) is trained by Enzo Calzaghe, widely recognized as the best trainer in boxing last year. This fight will give him and his son, super middleweight and light heavyweight champion Joe Calzaghe, an idea of what to expect from Pavlik. They two champions are expected to meet in a "super" fight in the near future. I do not see Lockett being able to handle Pavlik`s power for too long. Pavlik by KO/stoppage."
