When Bob Arum told me that middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik’s next opponent would be “ought of sight,” I thought the reference was to Ireland’s Nearly Blinded John Duddy. I was wrong.
It turns out that Pavlik will take his breather bout against Gary “Rocket Man” Lockett, an ordinary challenger with 30-1, 21 KOs record from Wales. This would be astronaut’s only loss was a 12-round split decision to Yuri Tsarenko, a household name in his own household who had a sparkling 12-7 record. In his last bout, “Rocket Man” soared over an opponent with an amazing 13-13 record.
