Trainer Enzo Calzaghe threw the towel in as 31-year-old Lockett went down for the third time.
Lockett was never really in the fight and when the towel came in he looked a forlorn character in the ring his face covered in blood.
During a recent interview on Skysports on Friday Fight Night Naseem once again raised speculation about a possible return at some point in the future.
Ricky Hatton aims to end his career on a high rather than the sudden disappearing act made by Naseem Hamed shortly after his defeat to Marco Antonio Barrera and semi comeback fight against Manuel Calvo.
Last week Hatton stated that his new motivation is to prevent a Hamed-like ending to his career.
“Naz had his comeback fight which wasn’t one of his best and we never saw him again,” he told the Daily Mail. “I don’t want the memories of my career to be put on the back burner because people say: ‘The minute he got beat he was never the same’.”
Naseem Hamed has placed his £4million mansion Castle Dyke House up for sale after owning it since 2003.
The house, in 10 acres of lawns including a pond and field, has nine bedrooms a panelled reception hall, billiards room, gun room, swimming pool, gymnasium, boot room and an attached coach house with two double bedrooms. There is also garage space for six cars and security gates.
Naz, his wife Aleasha and their 3 children have moved to a detached property in Wentworth, Surrey, near the golf course. New neighbours will consist of Bruce Forsyth, Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley.
Aleasha Hamed, driving with her three sons in the car, called the police after Burgin had caused her to swerve off the road after pulling out on her.
The jury took just 20 minutes to clear Burgin of any wrongdoing following the alleged incident.
In 2005, former boxer Naseem Hamed was jailed for crashing into Mr Burgin’s car at 90mph.
Mr Burgin suffered fractures to every major bone in his body in the crash.
Hamed, 33, served 16 weeks of a 15-month jail sentence for dangerous driving and was electronically tagged after his release.
Naseem Hamed is due to make his 2nd court appearance today.
No pleas were entered and Mr Hamed, of Wyvern Gardens, Dore, was bailed until his next court date on 20 January 2006.
One man was seriously injured in the crash which happened on 2 May.
District Judge Anthony Browne heard no pleas were to be entered and agreed to a request from Steve Smith, defending, for the case to be adjourned.
