Lockett was considered by many Boxing pundits & fans to be a big underdog going into the fight and few predicted that he would even be able to last the distance let alone have a chance of winning. Ultimately this proved to be true and Lockett was unsuccessful in his attempt to take the titles away from Pavlik, hitting the canvas 3 times before his cornerman Enzo Calzaghe threw in the towel in round 3 to end the fight
