Yvon Michel (Canadian promoter) said the exact same thing about Kovalev about 3 years ago. Before his first fight vs Pascal.....Kovalev was really nice with the Montreal medias , the fans etc.. Pascal was not very loved by Canadians fans...people had much admiration for Bute. People found Pascal arrogant etc.. Then Yvon michel said that to not be blind by this public image of Kovalev . He said that in fact in private he was a really bad person saying that he was very arrogant, not respecful of people etc.. I thought ..well Michel wants to defend Pascal because some Montreal fans were cheering for Kovalev but ....he told the truth
If Jackson is telling the truth, it speaks a lot about his character to keep taking a paycheck for so long. Either he's a lying scumbag or a sell out. Grade A piece of trash.
JDJ is a disgusting POS. He endangered Kovalev's life by feeding Team Ward information throughout the rematch camp. Apparently a cruiserweight beat the crap out of Kovalev during cano and JDJ loved it. Kovalev should sue him.
The main problem Jackson and Kovalev had was that Kovalev wasn't paying him. If Kovalev was at least paying him I'm sure Jackson would've sucked it up and kept working with Kovalev. I used to see Jackson at the Getty Museum all the time about 5-6 years ago and he would tell everyone that would listen that he was training the greatest light heavyweight fighter ever, so at that time Kovalev must have been paying him well. It seems at some point Kovalev decided to start stiffing Jackson on his money and considering how Jackson takes shots at him all the time Kovalev still owes him money. Tommy Brooks also talked about Tyson being a major pain to work with, but as long as the money was coming in he could deal with it, however once Tyson stopped paying him and offered him less than was owed to him he walked.
Have you noticed, no one is really saying how do we know he passed info to team Ward ??? Its like its painfully obvious, he's actions, body language screams snake, and people just know it by common sense..He 1000% passed info..What cruiser was it anyway ??
Lets be honest here Kovalev has never been a nice guy he's no saint and that's why his fans liked him so much it was apart of his so called "badass" persona that attracted fans to him and they loved him for it. You can't get mad now when he falls off and people are coming for his head.
**** both these guys, Kovalev is clearly a piece of ****. Sanchez, JDJ and his new trainer have all slated him, there’s a pattern there. However JDJ stood with Kovalev when said that borderline racist **** and defended him, he was disrespected in that Ward fight and he stayed, Kovalev claimed American trainers were overrated and he still stayed and he did this all for a check. He shouldn’t be saying ****.
Stop with that racist sheet, you all talk about it too much. Most blacks are racist and so are many whites , also asians are too, so nothing new here and I don’t care.
Kovalev racist? probably a lot of the world is he's no KKK member though or someone who commits hate crimes he's like talking to a 65 year old midwestern lady who is racist big deal to me. He probably was hard to deal with too but the reason why it's so WRONG for JDJ to do this is he's a trainer... he's a damn trainer, you put your trust in a trainer and him being like this hurts his credibility. This is like student/teacher relationship and JDJ is unprofessional. Also I said before and got laughed at for it, That they aren't a good match, I still think they weren't regardless of how you saw the first fight between ward. most people feel ward took over the second half, with a large number saying he was down by too much for it to matter. but JDJ let him down. it was like Pascal vs Hopkins 1
