John David Jackson: record, next fight and profile →
John David Jackson, trainer for Sergey Kovalev (30-1, 26 KOs), does not expect Andre Ward to improve on his performance from last month's showdown. At the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Ward (31-0, 15 KOs) got off the floor in the second round to win a very close twelve round unanimous decision over Kovalev to capture the WBO, WBA, IBF light heavyweight world titles. All three judges scored it 114-113.
