Pavlik stops Lockett on TKO in 3rd round

Canwest News Service; Sports Ticker

Gary Lockett was no match whatsoever for Kelly Pavlik. Making his first defence of his WBC and WBO middleweight titles last night, Pavlik scored a technical knockout of Lockett at 1:40 of the third round at Boardwalk Hall. Pavlik (34-0, 30 KOs) knocked down the Welshman twice in the second round before sending Lockett (30-2) to the canvas again in the third. Upon returning to his feet, Lockett watched as his corner threw in the towel, ending it before the challenger suffered any more serious damage.
