Pavlik's trainer Jack Loew slams the Calzaghe camp.

[southakron314]

Kelly Pavlik trainer Jack Loew has some words for June opponent Gary Lockett.

Jack Loew, trainer of world middleweight champion Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik, read with great interest the remarks made earlier this week by Gary "The Rocket" Lockett, the No. 1 contender who will be challenging Pavlik for the title in June.

"I see where Lockett has become inspired by Joe Calzaghe's victory over Bernard Hopkins in his U.S. debut and is predicting the same result against Kelly. Maybe Enzo Calzaghe can teach Lockett to slap like a girl -- just like Joe," said Loew.

"You can get away with that style of fighting against a 43-year-old geezer, but don't try that against Kelly. That's how rockets crash and burn. Kelly is having a camp that is second to none. We didn't work this hard to win the title just to have Lockett and his troubadour trainer take it away from us. Kelly is going to launch Lockett back to Wales...without a plane."

Pavlik (33-0, 29 KOs), from Youngstown, OH, makes his first title defense against mandatory challenger Lockett (30-1, 21 KOs), from Cwmbran, Wales, Saturday, June 7, at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Frank Warren's Sports Network and Caesars Atlantic City, the Pavlik-Lockett world middleweight championship will be broadcast live on HBO World Championship Boxing, beginning at 9:35 p.m. EDT / 6:35 p.m. PDT in the U.S.

Jack Loew is trying to cash in . He knows he has the guy to do it in Pavlik. Pavlik , Calzaghe would be a great fight. I personally think Pavlik knocks him out . If Pavlik knocks him out (Lockett) in violent fashion he should call him out on live hbo. I would.

Would this be the ultimate match-up between two fighters whose trainers have their reputations built by having one very very talented fighter and have managed to avoid having that fighter move on to more established, and maybe more famous and more talented trainers.

Seems as though Loew Is getting the hang of the whole Preemptive promotion.Personally I would much rather see Calzaghe go against Pavlik rather than Jones Jr.....but money talks.

+8. Sorry thats as much as I could give.

I'd much rather see Calzaghe face Dawson than both Jones & Pavlik. IMO Dawson is most deserving of a shot at the 175 pound championship & Pavlik still has business to take care of at 160 with guys like Wright & Abraham in awaiting.

But I think Calzaghe will take Jones & Pavlik will move onto Rubio. From there who knows... maybe Dawson can clean up Tarver impressively & present an attractive option for Calzaghe

bernard and joe was just a clash of styles it was joes first fight at the weight and in my opinion bernard is th best spoiler in the world but after the third round it all changed. bernard didnt like how quick joe was changing his style and couldnt do what he normally does because joes inside work (grappling) was superb.

i personaly think kelly pavlik is a unschooled wild version of the beast that is mikkel kessler if joe fights kelly pavlik, pavlik want be able to deal with the amount of punches coming at him. pavlik likes to set him self and joe wont let him do it.

If you have ever scene Pavlik fight he doesnt set he pushes. He throws any where from 80- 120 punches a round. He is a way more sound boxer than Kessler. Going by how strait and accurate his punches are. If he was crazy he would loop his punches and throw off balance. He does neither. Joe cannot hurt Pavlik at all. Just like he could not hurt Hopkins with his slaps. Its a joke watching Calzaghes style. The only reason Calzaghe won is because he was busier than Hopkins. Hopkins landed the better shots. To think Pavlik wont be busy and wont land way harder shots than Kessler is undereducated. Joe is a overrated champ. He never fought RJJ , Toney , of Hopkins 10 years ago. Calzaghe just stayed hidden in the confines of Wales. Pavlik by knockout. Joe hits like a bitch.

I in no way think Pavlik is a lesser version of Kessler. Kessler was a spotlight fighter only when he fought Calzaghe and he lost. Kessler does not apply the same type of pressure Pavlik does. Kessler died down in the sight of adversity and Pavlik rises to the occasion when faced with the same problem. Pavlik is not a wild fighter! He throws punches in bunches, but he knows what he is throwing. He doesn't blindly flail away at his opponent. And also, you said Pavlik wouldn't like the amount of punches Joe throws at him, IMO, Joe won't like the amount and TYPE of punches thrown at him.

SOUTHAKRON314! I say the exact same thing! I like where your head is at!

[boozeboxer]

I would take Kessler over Pavlik.

[southakron314]

I would take Kessler over Pavlik.

I would not. Pavlik is longer. He is stronger. He is a harder puncher. He has a better chin. He is more sound and he has better feet.

[southakron314]

I would take Kessler over Pavlik.

Thats like saying I would take the doberman over the pitbull.

you're a moron, I agree Pavlik is a helluva fighter and IMO it's 50/50 with Calzaghe, but you call the criticism of Pavlik uneducated then you go into a rant about how bad Joe with nothing to back it up.
