Comments Thread For: Duva: If Kovalev Listens, McGirt Can Change Career Like Gatti's

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey Kathy Duva fondly remembers Buddy McGirt rejuvenating the career of one of her aging former champions. The veteran promoter hopes McGirt can have the same impact on Sergey Kovalev as one of her favorite trainers had when he worked with Arturo Gatti for nearly five years. Kovalev hired McGirt to train him following his seventh-round knockout loss to Eleider Alvarez on August 4 in Atlantic City.

“I’m told they get along great. Buddy’s the right guy for the job if Sergey wants to listen to him,” Duva, Main Events’ CEO, told BoxingScene.com. “It’s certainly gonna be up to Sergey to decide if he’s gonna listen."

Maybe Kovalev did NOT listen to JDJ? Sounds like it doesn't it?

So she wants him to start fighting lower level comp only to step up again and have Buddy holding Kovalev in his arms while he stops the fight while saying "ITS OVER BABY, I LOVE YOU TO MUCH"

By score cards Stevenson was beating gvozdyk doesnt mean he was. Kovalev was winning 4-2 at best and he gassed in round 7

I doubt it. You can't reach an old dog new tricks. Kovalev will revert back to what he always does.

Trying to milk Kova until he ends up like Adonis Stevenson... Nice!

It's too late for someone at that age to do something as simple as listening to your coach.

Gvozdyk???

I'll believe Krusher is back ONLY if he knocks out Alvarez in the rematch.
