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.
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.
