Egis Klimas causing chaos in Kovalev's camp like he did in Usyk's?

[Motorcity Cobra]

He's the common denominator in both situations involving his fighters and their trainers. He brought in his guys to interfere with Bashir & Usyk and he eventually pushed Bashir Ali out and installed Deontay Wilder's cutman as Usyk's head trainer. (Russ Abnar & Klimas are also business partners) Now he's brought over his guy and he's pushing Jackson out. Jackson was probably tired of the backstabbing from Klimas and wanted to join a team with a professional atmosphere. He didn't want to continue working in a hostile work environment so he inquired about joining Wards team. Like my mama always told me, you never quit a job until you have another one lined up.

I find it strange that Kovalev would condemn American coaches when he's had his greatest successes with American coaches. That sounds like Klimas in his ear telling him what to say.

Kovalev-JDJ combination looked in jeopardy during the Ward I fight, JDJ even said in the rematch preview show that Sergey got a guy from Russia in the corner & he didn't know what he was telling Kovalev, that limited JDJ's game plan as the Russian guy was talking something JDJ wouldn't understand..

And who do you think brought that Russian guy over?

Could be Kovalev or Klimas idk for sure.. You've got to remember, Kovalev isn't the guy who listens to everyone, he has his own ideas & plans.. Even JDJ said that Kovalev does what he wants to do sometimes..

I think Kovalev is just extremely difficult to work with because he's a jerk. I don't think the Usyk situation is similar at all. Klimas has a bunch of his guys trained by American trainers and he even bought Robert Garcia's old gym and has kept some of his top guys with Robert's assistant, Marco Contreres. I don't think Klimas is the guy to blame here.

Klimas and the dumb smurk whenever we talked about Loma vs Rigo or Loma vs Walters (initial 'negotiations').

Even that unknown Russian guy gives better advice than Virgil.

Bashir & Jackson hmmm, maybe Klimas doesn't like a certain type of training

Even if Klimas is trying to push Jackson out, it would still be a massive **** move for him to join the Ward team lol.

You make it sound like thats the most logical step to take.
