Enzo: Pavlik is mechanical!
Thursday, May 22 2008

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!

Pavlik is going to make and example of lockett. I almost feel sorry for him.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I can't say anything about Locket as to be honest I've never even heard of him but what I do know is that Enzo lately has been writing checks with his mouth that none of his fighters but Joe have been able to cash and Locket will be the next victim... Enzo should humble himself a bit cuz his gravey train with Joe will end soon aswell

Bit harsh boys. Kelly's trainer disses Joe that's ok ...Enzo disses pavlik he's a dick?

What's he gonna say "Oh this is just a paycheck for Lockett...weve been training not to get sparked out in 2 rounds"?

Nah it's not a bit harsh it's the truth. Look Leow said Joe slaps and he does... Enzo says that Joe could put Pavlik to sleep?

Stop it! I didn't sya he was a dick I said that his mouth has been moving but no one's been backing it up. Mac, Gavin and soon to be Locket, he doesn't have much to cheer about...

What I'm saying is be careful what you wish for or he just might get it... Or Joe might I should say

Pavlik is mechanical. He is lucky he carries power at 160 because that is the only thing he is exceptional at there. Arum knows Pavlik is mediocre and that's why he is fighting a tomato can

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.

I'm not Enzo's biggest fan but how do you think he should respond to someone calling his son a girl?

He didn't say Joe would put Pavlik to sleep (although he probably thinks it ) he said they better hope "Lockett doesn't slap like Joe or it's goodnight".. He thinks his son would beat Pavlik so it's silly to compare Lockett with Joe considering he (Joe) is in a different stratosphere.

PLUS.. they are not just selling Pavlik-Lockett but possibly Pavlik-Calzaghe.. so it's all good

All you need to know about Lockett is he gets caught with right hands at will which means disaster for him end of.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that Taylor took the rematch, I wouldn't say he was robbed though. It was a close fight.

[bcollins]

I have disliked the whole Pavlik crew after he robbed defeated Jermain Taylor fairly in the rematch.

Fixed that.

Not harsh at all , Enzo didnt give any credit wot so ever to David Haye , he claimed Enzo Mac beat himself ? WTF.

I agree with Mike , his gravy train ( Joe ) will soon be retired so hes running his mouth off , to make a name for himself.
Fact is Enzo is a dickhead.

As for Gary Lockett i wish him all the best , hes a good honest pro , who is a good bloke , i do think he will get knocked out , and i dont think he should be number 1 contender , but one thing for sure is he will give it his all and you cant ask for more than that.

Taylor robbed against Pavlik ?? lol good one bro you surely must be kidding with that comment ?? Taylor landed less punches in the rematch than he did in the first fight which only went 7 rounds. But forgetting that Taylor only fought in spurts which is fine in some cases but not in this case when Pavlik is working entire 3 minutes of the round landing solid punches. Pavlik clearly won the last 2 rounds which erased any doubt in my mind, i'll admit it was close after 10 rounds but after that Pavlik clearly won last 2 rounds to pull out the victory 7-5 on my card, which means by your scoring you had Taylor ahead by at least 3 rounds or more after 10 rounds what the hell ??

I don't think Taylor got robbed, but I do think a case could be made for him winning the fight. I've only seen the fight once, but I remember Taylor landing the cleaner, harder punches and Pavlik looking very sloppy and missing with most of his shots. I thought that Taylor's aggression was much more effective, aside from that body shot in the 11th, I don't recall Pavlik landing anything that was really significant.

[mexirican]

Taylor fought a great fight but just got out boxed. Something they said Kelly couldn't do. As far as Enzio, Pavlik and his team can walk the walk. Lowe is as firey as they come and believes in & looks at Kelly almost like a son. He doesn't respect Lockett as a fighter but does as a person. The more noise he makes outside the ring the more Pavlik can focus inside the ring. Jack is playing the game just hoping & trying to piss Enzio off enough to lure his son into a mega fight.

[superheavyrhun]

To me it just sounds like any other trainer in the build up to a fight. After all, as some other guy mentioned, they're not training to see if they can survive the first half of the fight, in his head, I'm sure Enzo thinks Lockett has a chance. He'll have put a plan in place, and think it'll work, but I think he's going to be looking for miracles for Lockett to win.

I wonder what the odds are of Pavlik breaking both hands in the same fight?
