Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Trainer Jackson Tried To Jump Ship To Andre Ward's Team?

I wouldn't doubt that being the case. Kovalev looks like he would be a ****. But still, this is a business. You can't just jump to a rival company because your boss is a ****.

Remember the can you hear me now guy from Verizon? Michael Flynn? If he didn't have a contract I think he could go but as it stands I think this is just another way to try and get ticket sales and into kovs head

not even sure if we can take that article at face value..... ?

To me, Kovalev has been imploding since the last fight. All of this is just another symptom. I'm honestly expecting s huge Ward win at this point.

I'll wait for some proof before condemning JDJ. I get there are issues in the camp and all that but you resolve that like men by either working it out or by leaving the fighter. I really hope this isn't true, that would be treacherous...yet this is the Ward camp and they've been playing mind games so who the fk knows what's true.

WTF. This is crazy. I would like to hear what Kovalev, Egis or Main Events have to say about it before I take it as fact, but either way, that is a pretty crafty move by Prince to go public with this.

It is common knowledge that Kovalev is a di*k. I'm sure he can wear on trainers. Abel kicked him out of his gym a long time ago. It wasn't about not working hard...it was about questioning everything and not being coachable. However, I don't see anything wrong with adding a Russian coach to his team. When you need to understand exact, precise instructions, a basic understanding of a second language just doesn't cut it. I'm surprised there are so many fighters/trainers that do not 100% understand each other.

On the one hand I feel bad for Jackson as Kovalev is putting the loss totally on his shoulders and is tired of being the scapegoat. On the other hand he ****ed himself by trying to go to Team Ward.... This makes him look disloyal to his fighters granted Kov maybe acting like an ass but going to the enemy and that enemy making it public when it could of been a passing thought....... Team Ward kinda stabbed him in the back but he brought it on himself.

Kovalev already talked **** about Jackson prior to this so...

[Pigeons]

I'm sure its been mentioned already, but remember when Kovalev told JDJ to shut up in the corner during the first Ward fight in favor of some young Russian guy?

I guess it makes sense. Its not like JDJ is the guy that built Kovalev since childhood. He just came on board late in the game.

Russian conditioning coach. around my way we don't call the guy that brings melodium and other PED's to training camp the "russian conditioning coach". We call him a drug dealer.

I hope Jackson tells Hunter everything he knows about Kov.
