GL: How has everything gone in preparation for Kelly's most significant middleweight fight since he won the title from Jermain Taylor? "This is probably the best Kelly has come into camp, so it probably made it the best camp we've had. He's strong, he's healthy and everything he's done, he's done right for this fight. I expect the best Kelly Pavlik and there's no excuses Saturday night.
GL: What does Kelly at his best mean for Sergio Martinez?
Jack Loew: "It means we stop him late in the fight, like eight or nine."
GL: What did you think of Martinez's performance against Williams?
JL: "I think it was great on his part and I think he won the fight. I think it exposed Paul Williams for what he really was and the monster everybody thinks he is."
GL: Kelly has a dynamite right hand, but some people feel he needs to be set to deliver it and Martinez is a mover, does that concern you at all?
JL: "No, I'm glad everybody thinks like that. Nobody thought like that until after the Bernard Hopkins fight. Everybody goes back to the Bernard Hopkins fight and that's great, if Sergio thinks that he's going to see a robot in there on Saturday night, then he's got another thing coming."
GL: What will be the biggest difference in this fight that leads to Kelly getting his hand raised?
JL: "The natural size and strength. I think Sergio has one shot, and that's early in the fight. The longer this fight goes the worse it's going to be for Martinez."
GL: Closing thoughts?
JL: "Come out or tune in on Saturday night, it's going to be a great fight and people could expect to see the best in Kelly Pavlik. I think 2010 is going to be our year."
