If it's true then Jackson is a little snake & Kovalev should spark him out in training for it.

Kovalev should fire his ***** @ss send him back where he belongs. r

Ho-Lee-Shyt, that is a bomb. I feel terrible for JDJ right now. Prince is an absolute **** for not keeping this quiet until after the fight. Not cool at all.

True. But it's all about winning, and this is clearly something that disrupts Kovalev's camp. Hell it might be a total gamechanger.

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.

phagot way to win , just like the last time. you csuckers should be very proud!

There does seem to be tension there. The whole switching teams thing though..doesn't seem that much of a believable story to me.
If not though, i'm sure Jackson will come out and say something. I guess we will see.

Jackson was overruled multiple times by conditioning coach in last fight and was silent for much of the end of the match. Kov was kicked out of Abel sanchez' gym for being a **** too. If I was Jackson at this point I'd take a nice payday to give him water this time too, then bolt after he loses again.

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 ****.

Damn near non existent since since Jennings hasn't fought since Ortiz. Jackson has picked up more fighters. But if he pulled something like this off do you think other fighters would trust him? Just seems weird he would go to the opposite team.

I think if Ward thought he could garner a clear advantage with jacksons info, like stealing signs in baseball, then it may have been explored more. More realistically JDJ was frustrated and had discussions that have been blown out of proportion by wards camp.

Regardless of tension in camp you just don't jump to the opposite corner. There should be rules written into the contract against that. I already feel like there is serious collusion involved.

There are a lot of things he could be telling Ward's camp that could potentially hurt him in the fight.

I think Kovalev has everything to lose in this rematch. I honestly don't see him getting the win.

I can't recall the last time a fighters won a major fight while facing turmoil in his training camp. It almost never happens. Ward is going to comfortably win a decision.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Judging by last fight he's playing second fiddle already. Also pride doesn't pay the bills and it's difficult to turn down thousands of dollars for the likes of Bryant Jennings paydays, which are less.
