Comments Thread For: Duva: Ward's Team 'Should Be Embarrassed' by Offer to Jackson

[HanzGruber]

lol the last person to talk should be this lying kunt

Plenty of ppl defended it. Shut up. I honestly didn't say anything. I don't really care. This is boxing. All the ******* to the left. But I sure as hell didn't see you crying so hard about it. But you'll cry about this tho right?

First of all, I'm not crying and could care less about what will happen to fckin Kova in a rematch, trained by JDJ or not.

I don't really like Kova.

I'm more concerned about the integrity of the sport who is supposed to be a gentlemen sport.

Lol Kovalev goes on a racist rant...that's ok let's make excuses for it. Team Ward causes a little dissension in team Kovs ranks and "OMG that's SO wrong! It's unfair!" Lol you guys a ******ed.

This^^^^^^^^^^

What racist rant?

It was definitely wrong and low for Ward's Team to pull what they pulled. Not sure if they intended to lure Jackson away for real or just to use it later as they did now as a ploy to create dissension. I think John David Jackson was wrong also to consider going over to Ward while training Kovalev for the rematch.

Go back to the press conferences where Virgil Hunter was mentioning turmoil in the Kovalev camp and that he didn't expect to see Jackson in Kovalev's corner June 17th, Kathy Duva getting upset at Virgil, Virgil mentioning Kovalev having a vodka drinking problem. How did Virgil know so much? Sounded like he had inside information. You couple that with Jackson not being there too.

Also during the interview yesterday of John David Jackson everytime the Ward situation was brought up he was visibly uncomfortable and was fumbling and stuttering. One thing that caught my ear was when Jackson said, "if they would've accepted my offer, who knows?"

All of this leaves me disappointed that Jackson would do or consider such a thing against his fighter. I know Sergey can be a douchebag and if Jackson doesn't want to deal with it anymore, that's understandable, that's cool. He should've cut ties and left Kovalev.

But negotiating and taking or giving offers to help train the enemy of your fighter that he's about to fight in a rematch is intolerable.

Really bad move by Jackson. Team Ward used him and exposed him. Threw him under the bus and made him to look a turncoat.

I highly doubt Jackson and Kovalev will work together again after this fight on June 17th.

Kovalev is gonna fight really pissed off now. That could be good OR bad. We'll have to wait and see.

[Rip Chudd]

The only one that should be embarrassed is Duva on how horrible of a promoter she is.

Spot on man. I kind of expect it from Team Ward, that's their level.

But Jackson has profited from his association with Kovalev, it has put him in a good light just like Sanchez has from his with GGG. It's quite something to consider turning his back for 30 pieces of silver.

He almost pulled off a Judas move.

If this all happened in Winter-its damn near Summer-whyas well? would Team Ward be in a "rush" to get it out now? There were plenty of times it could've come out already. Why is Kova's team just now finding out now? It seems like negotiations have been going on since Winter JDJ and ROC couldn't come to an agreement and they just came out with the info to cause friction in the other camp.
