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

[firstborn]

all this is coming from wart's side, why don't we hear what kovalev's side has to say about this? what jackons has to say? lol

Seems reasonable to wait to hear from Kov's camp before judging. That being said, expect the total opposite around here.......

DAMN this is crazy. it sounds legit because JDJ doesn't seem too defensive of Kovalev in interviews.

i'm not touching this fight in terms of betting. holy crap that's huge.


how do we even know JDJ isn't leaking info to Ward's camp.

Yea, the drama between these two is some spy-movie level shyt.

I can't blame JDJ for looking for looking elsewhere. Sometimes you leave a job and look for work with a competitor. Also, maybe he doesn't like Kovalev as a person. I trust his reasons are his own.

I truly just blame J Prince for leaking this shyt to the media. What a self-serving ****.

Jackson was not even giving Kov proper advise in the first fight, if you watched the in between round footage he looked kind of lost and just tried to act like everything was going to plan. Compare that to the way Virgil was coaching Ward in between rounds in order for him to make the necessary adjustments and take the 2nd half of the fight.

You must've missed the part between rounds early when Kov motioned to Jackson to shut up. From then on, he said not much of anything.

This IS b.s., and I'm a Kov fan. If I were Jackson, I'd TELL Kov that either HE is head trainer or HE is gone. And for Kov to wake the he!! up and stop being a know-it-all azzholeo. This b.s. gets them nowhere in prep for the biggest fight of their career.

You must be goid at twister, but that was one hell of a stretch.

After the numerous times Kov has done this, it's no longer he may of done it not knowing. He's not ******, he lives in the USA.

It's not that he didn't know it was racially based, it's he didn't know people would get so upset. **** him, I hope he loses just because he keeps doing this.

That and his ****ing people helped because of complete utter ****ing dumbazz into power in the U.S., and for that they can all **** off.

For the 1st time I have to agree with you on this post. Right is right, kovalev should stop trying to front like hes mr tough guy,this is Boxing your only what you are in the ring. But kov tries to behave like an angry ornery old man. Kov tries to convince himself that wards scared of him,& that its wards fault somehow that he supposedly got robbed. Yes he does behave like a 50% trump,but nobody in boxing is as racist as trump.

Kovalev needs to fire him if this is true.

[RussB23]

Anyone get the feeling kovalev never listened to him anyway?

[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.

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

[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

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
