I might get ripped for this, but in some ways, it reminded me of the JC-Hopkins fight in that one fighter was landing the more eye-catching blows while the other one relied on consistent work to win the fight.

I have disliked the whole Pavlik crew after he robbed Jermain Taylor in the rematch. I'm also sick of seeing videos of pavlik hitting heavy bags with baseball bats or tires with sledgehammers. This kind of training is why he is so mechanical...plod, plod, plod until hopefully you can load up and connect with one big shot. Pavlik will not be around for long. Once he moves up in weight he is done.

Joe Calzaghe's father/trainer Enzo Calzaghe has lashed out at Jack Loew, trainer of WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik. Enzo who also trains Pavlik's June 7 challenger Gary Lockett, takes offense in Loew's statement that maybe Enzo can teach Lockett to slap like a girl - just like his son Joe. "Loew had better hope and pray that Lockett doesn't slap like Joe because if he does it's going to be goodnight for Kelly Pavlik," said Enzo. "...I have not seen anything from Kelly Pavlik whatsoever that worries me. He's a good fighter but he's mechanical, it's the same thing, same thing, same thing all the time. I can't get worried about it....he's never heard of Gary Lockett, never seen him fight, but Lockett knows all about Kelly Pavlik, and he is in for a surprise on June 7. His team opened their mouths and talked the talk, but can they walk the walk?" Pavlik and Lockett meet June 7th at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

---------------------------

Good night Kelly? Has Enzo seen a Pavlik fight? Super Mario better shut his mouth or Kelly just may move up a bust his son's mouth open.


People can say what they want about a Kelly Joe matchup. Joe has never felt power like Kelly... I dont care if he's fought at 170. Hopkins does not have Pavlik's heavy hands or workrate... If a 43 yr old Hopkins (although still a good fighter) is the best thatJoe C has on his resume, I'd tell my father to quiet down before he gets joe KTFO!

Anyhow, only a week to go, and I reckon Pavlik will blast Lockett out of there in a few rounds.
