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

[War Dinamita]

Another excuse they will use when Kovalev takes another L by Ward.

[Cheek busting]

Kov has to KO Ward to win. If he disbt grt the decisión last time despite dominating he wont this time.

Check this out. For brook vs spence they had judges from arouns the World. But for kovalev vs Ward theyhve three american judges AGAIN. WTF is up with that? Why is that ok?

Yeah, I don't know what issues they've got going on but wow, going to train the enemy and join their team. I've never heard or seen any kind of drama like this before a big fight.

Kovalev has a history of being difficult as well. Abel Sanchez and others have went on record about how difficult it is to train Kovalev.

Things must have gotten really bad between Jackson and Kovalev for things to get to this.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jackson wasn't in Kovalev's corner June 17th.

Couldn't have been worse timing.

Lol, this guys aint loyal man. Remember when Floyd snr turned on his own son against Dela Hoya.

In less than three weeks, one of the most anticipated fights of the year will take place when Andre Ward (31-0, 15 KOs) steps in the ring with Sergey Kovalev (30-1, 26 KOs) for a second time. Their HBO Pay-Per-View fight takes place on June 17th, from the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The first fight, which took place last November at T-Mobile Arena, saw Ward survive an early knockdown to win a very close twelve round unanimous decision to capture Kovalev's IBF, WBA, WBO light heavyweight titles.

oh, shhh......




really ?

It's a lot worse than I thought. It's weird because "Kovalev won" and got "robbed", why get rid of the trainer who helped you "win"? Trainer-switching is a sign of lack of confidence in a fighter. Trying to put the blame on everyone else but himself. Team Ward did good on not that accepting Jackson in the team and the explanation as to why makes sense.

problem is, releasing that information to the public will likely cause the same damage

maybe now the public will not credit Jackson if Ward is successful..... but they will blame Kovalev's disrupted camp

either way takes shine off Ward/Hunter

this is bad news all around

Pls keep all that russian-american bull**** and racism away from boxing . Here we are all one big loving family .

This is a sport where people punch each other in the face with mean intentions.

'Big loving family' is not the term I would associate with such a sport. Maybe in netball or volleyball you can use that slogan.

Jackson has beeeeen very quite compared to the build up to the 1st fight. He has not said a word. No matter what is going on between Jackson and team Kov, jumping ship to the opposite corner is just not right, I don't understand how Kov would take him back after that- knowing that your trainer not only wanted to step down but to also go help out the enemy. Disappointing from Jackson, that means that he could do this to any of his fighters that he he does not want to work with. He should just walk away from team Kov completely.

maybe he didn't know

maybe he just found out the same way you did ?

shht could be about to get REALLY real

[aboutfkntime]

smart for team ward to leak this. create tension in the kovalev camp, whether its legit it or not. mob tactics from the great j prince, the mastermind.

you could be right

but that just gives them an excuse if they lose

like Mayweather, with the 152 demand on Canelo

both are/were unnecessary

but you could be right, that is likely why they did it

shame

[aboutfkntime]

this is likely a BIG boost for the Ward camp

and a BIG bummer for fight fans

both camps are starting to look a little lame over this

[deanrw]

We all know Kovalev is not a good person, but jdj trying that shows he is just as bad.

They deserve each other.
