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

[therealpugilist]

Am I the only one thinking that The Juice/Roids could be an issue

Russia has been notorious since the 80s with its top athletes across all sports coming out to be dirty

i like kovalev but bringing in a russian Strength and conditioning coacj isnt a good look and underminds the expertise of JDJ

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.

well when the fighter you guided to his biggest wins, gives you no credit, belittles your knowledge and skills to train him then all honor goes out the window

Who is he gonna find better than JDJ to prepare for this fight?

hell JDJ is a two division titlist, with world class fights under his belt....some random russion Strength and conditioning coach will bring nothing to the table..lets get real


Kov is gonna lose this one clearly, he has taken no responsibility for his performance and really believes he can train less and get more results....

This has to be some of the dumbest **** I've read on here. And that's saying a lot considering A.K. posts here

It is hard for some to handle the truth. They would rather get 250 pounds of load on their shoulders and walk with it all day long, than handle truths about race.

Jackson wants to be surrounded by Americans.
Kovalev wants to be surrounded by Russians.

One is racist the other isn't?

Everyone saying how Jackson is in the right. He is the head trainer for a fighter and wants to leave MID CAMP! And people actually support this?? Jackson has said in the past numerous times that Kovalev is a stubborn guy and doesn't listen well. If he didn't like working with Kovalev he should of stopped training him well before 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO A MASSIVE FIGHT!

Anyone siding with JDJ is a complete moron and should be slapped upside the head for their bias.

Agree with every point you made!
Truth is, people do want to face the truth.
I have a friend of mine, a black guy who believes blacks cannot be racist because they do not have the power ....
So it goes in US, only whites are the racist, and if you do not subscribe to their believes you are the racist too.

Jackson trying to get on Ward's wagon shows clearly his loyalty and integrity. .... Tomorrow he may decide to drop Ward too.
Kovalev probably figured him out what kind of a person is, and obviosly he feels he is not training him properly. Anyway Kovalev was a champ till he was robbed.

what a GREAT time for Jackson to develop an ego

J.Prince trying to cause chaos in the Sergio Kovalev camp.

He doesn't seem like a liar though, so there might be some truth to this.

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.

Kov hasn't taken responsibility for his loss one time

Made excuses after the flat chilemba performance too

Not a good look


If you think you won, why make anything besides minor tactical changes? No need for S &C n head trainer drama

[Southpawology]

Kovalev only uses JDJ as his Mitt Boy lol. Anyways, Kovalev needs to FIRE this dude ASAP! Get lomachenkos dad hes in oxnard where he trains anyways

[uppercut510]

Lmaoooooooo at these replies!!!!!! this is too much

[j0zef]

That's not a good look for Kovalev. He was seen acting like an ass to JDJ in his last fight, and this all but confirms it. First Sanchez said he's difficult to work with, now JDJ is being treated like crap. Sounds like Kovalev is a bit of a headcase.
