Pavlik-Lockett Update!
Wednesday, April 30 2008
Jack Loew, trainer of world middleweight champion Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik, isn't impressed by the "Calzaghe Connection" of next challenger Gary "The Rocket" Lockett. "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 (Lockett's trainer) 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) makes his first title defense against mandatory challenger Lockett (30-1, 21 KOs) on June 7 at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.
