Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Trainer: I Warned Hopkins Years Ago To Avoid

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

John David Jackson faced Bernard Hopkins in the ring and he also helped prepare him for several of his past fights. Back when they were working together, Jackson warned Hopkins to avoid Sergey Kovalev at all costs.

Now several years later, Jackson is the head trainer of Kovalev, who holds the WBO light heavyweight title and wants to add Hopkins' WBA/IBF titles to his collection. The two champions will fight in an HBO televised high stakes unification on Saturday night from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

Hopkins will win this fight easy. I saw Kovalev become slower and tentative in his last fight. I didn't see the Pacquiao type guy who stringed together multiple flurry combos on guys while they laid back and bounced out and came back in with fast combos with power.

Hopkins is going to make Kovalev look bad, Kovalev is going to look like every other B hop opponent, they will try to land a power shot and get frustrated when he ties up and holds.
