Comments Thread For: Jackson: Translator Caused 'Big Problem' in Kovalev's Corner

[ShoulderRoll]

Egis Klimas is a ****ty translator and he probably is behind hiring ****ty translators for Kovalev.

Only knowledgeable boxing men belong in a boxer's corner on fight night. The suits should stay the **** out.

JDJ throwing other mfers under the bus now huh?!?! lol.

Who's like JDJ's #2 guy that he trains? If Kovalev fires him is his best guy some top 50 guy or something bleak like that?

JDJ did a great job with Kova, put some tricks in his outside game, but they treated him bad that last fight.

JDJ is delusional because Kova just confessed "John is zere forrr zee mitt wurrrking", they aren't really trusting him.

They are wrong.

But I guess when serguei is in the crunch, he doesn't really understand what JDJ is saying.
Dude sounds punch drunk as fck.

I guess it is hard to understand for a guy who barely speak english.

russian translator told kovalev to fade and lose the last 7 rounds. i speak russian. this was a setup. possible trump connections?

Too much disarray in the Kovalev corner. Surely they will lose yet again. The best chance they had was the first fight because Andre had knee issues but now those issues have been resolved, not to mention there will be smart adjustments on Andre's part.

The S&C coach, the translator, the Americans...to be continued?

I rather prefer instructions like this

lol, Roger had absolutely nothing even semi Intelligent to say and used the same line throughout "keep doing what your doing"

After the Chilemba fight, didn't Kovalev straight out say he wanted to look for a new trainer?

That's an excuse from Ward for his sub par performance. Nevertheless he edged KOVOLOV in the first fight.

As some posters mentioned, Kovalev's whole team is a mess. It's disrespectful to say that his trainer is there just for the mitt work. Why does the trainer take all this bullcrap when he might not even get paid his usual? And then there's Kathy Duva...

He's been saying it since before then. I think they problem is word has gotten around that he's a pain to work with and doesn't pay enough to be worth the trouble.
