"Green Was Weight-Drained vs Ward & Will Be vs Kessler" -Trainer John Jackson (Audio)

[BoxCleva]

He isn't weight drained. It's a simple ploy to make Kessler underestimate Green.

Jackson appears genuine in his concerns about Green, even implying that Green risks getting KO'd by Kessler due to going in weight-drained. I don't think it's a form of reverse psychology to lure Kessler into a false sense of security but I suppose it could be perceived that way from the clip. In the full interview, Jackson comes across as pretty straight-talking and sincere imo.

this ****** is already making excuses for when Kessler whoops him next time around. How bout GTFO of the tournament?

I've never seen excuses made for a fight several months in advanced. Usually when the fight gets closer bu damn the ink on the contracts is still drying.
