    ...during interview conducted ringside immediately following the fight.

    Not completely sure what to make of this recent development just yet. :thinking:

    His assistant did an interview as well calling him just a "puncher"
    Both bitter exes after he fired both of their arses.

    Well, Kovalev did it first in the pre fight interviews, I don't blame JDJ at all tbh.

    Team Ward was right. They weren't a happy bunch team Kovalev. If it's true that he was just a mitt man for Kov then JDJ should've walked or Kov should've sacked him. You can't be the gaffa and and the boxer at this level. Boone said something about Kov never improving and I think there's a little truth in that. Pig headed he might be

    Kova wants to call all the shots and it shows. Gassed after 4 rounds. Lazy EE training habits.

    Some "slick jabs" in there if you listen carefully. Doesn't sound like a trainer who feels his fighter was wronged in any way whatsoever. From a cynical vantage point, it almost appears he's feeling 'somewhat vindicated' or satisfied.

    Comes off a bit odd to me.

    His answer should have been, 'Don't ask me, I'm just a mitt man.'

    Satisfied is the vibe I'm getting. Why even work together if there's an ongoing problem

    Yeah, JDJ is a real POS. Dude seems really content with what happened.

    What an honest and refreshing take from his own trainer. Good for JDJ.

    Apparently, Jackson didn't show up at the Kovalev postfight press conference either. He was completely absent, which is almost unheard of for the trainer of such a high profile fighter and (former) champion.

    kov brought it on himself, he claimed he trained himself, in order to get all the credit when he won, now its time to take all the blame when sh1t goes south.

    When the fighter says you aren't the trainer, you're just the mitt man, what can you expect?
