Proof kovalev ignored jdj in first fight

[Hmabshir]

I have the final nail in the coffin for the very controversial topic on this forum that Kovalev did or did not listen to his trainer.

Here is the fight game interview with Lampley and Kovalev (only 4 minutes) talking about the first fight and the upcoming rematch in the second fight.

Kovalev says that JDJ is only there for the mitts while also identifying the guy from Russia as a friend of his. Kovalev also said that he will not listen to JDJ again in the second fight and do his own thing.

Before I saw this I had the fight an honest 50-50 but after this now I am 100% sure Kovalev will lose even worse than the first one.

All the people who said that he never listened were right...

Saw that. If thats the case the way he described it hes been doing this his whole career. Hell be fine.

Damn . Shady stuff from Kovalev ... Still rooting for him to win though .

His trainer wasn't talking. JDJ needs to open up more.

Wow, not a good look for Kovalev.

Basically said JDJ is only there for the pad work.
