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

I would not work for somebody who said that sh@t either. Kovalev is a hell of a fighter but he's gone over board with some of his comments. (I do think some of what he says is lost In translation, however)

The most racist people I have encountered so far are the Latinos, Blacks and the Asians. Want evidence?
- In how many construction crews led by a Mexican you have seen a black man, Asian or a white man working?
- In how many restaurants owned by Asians you have seen white or black man working as a waiter?
- In how many businesses owned by Blacks you have seen whites or Latinos working?
All of these races heavily discriminate against everybody else.
The least racists among all races are the whites. Whites have even created laws giving privileges to all other races. Non whites oftentimes sue employers etc. with fabricated facts, just to get some money. No non white country in the world has done that for minority races!
Playing the race card against Kovalev is an obvious attempt to darken his image.

In addition, Kovalev picked up Jason for a reason. He is black and that shows that Kovalev didn't care about race. In regards to his "N" calling of Ward, I don't think he realizes what the word "N" stands for in US. In Russia the "N" word stands simply for a black African man. It only describes the race of the Sub-Saharan black African man. Russia never ever had even a single black slave.
Kovalev has almost surely heard black people calling each other "N-r". I think he just wanted to talk as the black people talking to each other in the hood. I don't even for a second believe Kovalev wanted to offend the black race.

Hope they deliver a good fight, and no one gets injured.

Wait a minute, how long did Jackson train Kovalev, since 2012? Aside from some initial getting acclimated to each other, I haven't heard of any issues. Now that Kovalev, has a loss, there is trouble. Not a surprise that maybe there would be some finger pointing. What is surprising, is that Jackson would actually reach out to his fighter's opponent's camp to jump ship. Dick move.

Able Sanchez asked Kovalev to leave
Big Bear when he was training there. He isn't coachable according to Able. He also hinted that there were other issues.

Again, the Ward's team bringing this racist card...Russians vs Americans, these guys are racist themselves...jealous cos Eastern Europeans have balls to fight on the U.S. oil and collect those belts

racist vodka chugging ****** scumbag kkkovalev. he has been making nonstop excuses about why he lost the fight.. but somehow he was "robbed". he blames his coach, blames training too much.. the guy is a clown. everybody should've seen this coming. kovalev told jdj to shut up in the corner after round one. jdj is only there for a check. he takes that disrespect from that russian scum simply for money. times must be hard. let him get whooped with nothing but russians on his team just to see who he'll blame next.

Has anyone reached out to Jackson directly?
Has he said anything about this?

John David Jackson doesn't even have a Twitter account...

Typical mind games by a scumbag team coWard.. I hope Kovalev punches him so hard that he will retire Ward. Typical scumbag tactics, first they try to paint him as racist, then vodka drinker now this. coWard b1tch is going down hard. And they want to be respected ???? bunch of scumbag shysters - SMH
