Willis "The Prophet" Lockett was stopped in the sixth round yesterday afternoon by "Son of the Legend" Aaron Pryor, Jr. at the Hyatt Regency/Penns Landing Hotel in Philadelphia, PA.
According to reports, Lockett was doing well in the first three rounds as he battled a six-inch height disadvantage. Despite this, Lockett was able to land winging shots.
