ESPN:
Broner (26-0, 22 KOs), 23, of Cincinnati, was in command in the fifth
round when he landed a digging left hand to Rees' liver. Rees dropped
to a knee and was clearly winded. He made it to his feet and was game,
but as Broner was teeing off, Lockett climbed up the steps and threw in
the white towel, prompting Brown to call off the fight at 2 minutes, 59
seconds.
Lockett is familiar with Boardwalk Hall and knockout
losses. He was knocked out by Kelly Pavlik in the same ring in a 2008
world middleweight title fight.
Not exactly the toughest test, but his claim to be the
future of boxing isn't yet clearly incorrect.
