NEW YORK Sergey Kovalev will take a different approach to training camp for his rematch with Andre Ward than he did for their first fight. Kovalev admitted Monday before a press conference to promote their June 17 rematch that he thinks he overtrained for their light heavyweight championship match November 19 in Las Vegas. According to Kovalev, overexerting himself during camp prohibited him from having enough stamina to keep up the same pace in the second half of their 12-round fight as he did during its first half.

I must no understand or something was missed in translation. You don't train 2 hours a day to be a professional boxer can you? I was an amateur and I trained 4 hours a day after work and worked 10 to 12 hours on my normal job. I couldn't go 12 rounds no way. That can't be right.

I dont understand how a veteran of the game like Kovalev can overtrain when literally nothing changes for him physically. Its his weight class, fighting a smaller and physically weaker opponent.

Yes I know its the toughest fight of his life. That doesnt mean his training camp should be any different. He should do what he has always done IMHO.

which apparently is..... 1hr of roadwork, 1hr of boxing

Kovalev was the better FIGHTER thst night we all saw it. Ward getting away with dirty tactics and having the ref and judges steal that fight was a disgrace. Kov shoukd have mandated the rematch be in nyc or Russia because he isnt going to be able to win a decision in Wards home area. Vegas is 4 hour drive from Wards home. Such a joke of a fighter Ward is.

yep, Ward punked lil'G REAL good huh ?

that's it little fella, let it all out

Not like Kovalev to make excuses so there would have to be some merit to what he is saying. Kovalev wants this win bad, I still think he faded pretty bad over the last 6 if he has his conditioning in order Ward is in for a tough night.

What he is saying if you actually read or watch his interviews, is the imrpovements he wants to make this time round.
