Comments Thread For: Kovalev Feels Boost With Russian Coach For Andre Ward Rematch

[bluepete]

Never a good sign making changes going into a big fight like this. It's he's fault the rematch is happening for switching off from he's own jab in the last few rounds and putting it beyond Wards reach.

I bet what he's really happy about is the fact that he has someone he can freely say the n word to

[-Kev-]

Hmm. Deceiving title, will definitely get non-readers who only reply to the title.

wont make any change, hes still gonna get robbed by the 3 american judges. not interested in this fight at all.

These days I get su****ious of even the slightest circumstanial things. Kovalev said he had stamina problems and hence adds a russian nutritionist to the team. Hmmmmm.....

I guess it evens it out if Ward is still working with Conte.

... Kovalev was never trained for wrestling!!! In fact, he wasn't able to box and wrestle in the same time...

Should have had a Judo coach.

I hope there is VADA testing for this fight.

He seemed to have the headlocks down because he used that move a few times in the first match.

I think it's a good call by Kovalev . By watching his past interactions with JDJ in the corner it looked as if they didn't mesh well . Add that to the interview where Abel Sanchez talks about Kovalev being hard to train because he thinks he knows everything .
I thought Kov won the fight ( and I was choosing Ward to school him) . The people who agree that he Lost say he Gassed out by the 6th . So how are those people gonna try and spin this as if it was Not a good idea bring in the Russian S&C coach ?
