Damn u people are literal suckers.. Do u think JDJ and he are just going to wing it? Do u think Kovalev is going to tell u his plan? Its just SK hyping his animal machismo instincts...
Hunter just made some comment about there being turmoil and confusion in Kovalev's camp. Maybe this is what he was talking about. There is no doubt Jackson is discussing strategy with Kov, as Hunter is with Ward. Is Kov listening or will he pull a Durant-Leonard?
Jackson said another time that Kov doesn't take direction well and they didn't hit it off well when they first met. If their relationship and communication is sketchy, it may go downhill fast if the fight goes in unintended (for Sergey) directions for the first few rounds.
If worst case comes true and Kovalev isn't listening intending to fight Ward without a plan, then come Saturday night, he will be baptised by the son of god
He definitely has some tactics, they're probably just not formed into a cohesive plan since Kovalev usually fights the same way in every fight. An emphasis on certain punches or moves, sure. But I don't see Kovalev following some ABC plan. And not just because he's a puncher. It's probably similar for Ward.
Anyone believes he has no plan is an idiot for being so gullible. He showed against Hopkins he can come in and fight differently to his normal style. That suggests some form of plan was formed and you can bet for sure he has a clearly laid out strategy for this fight as well, as a number of contingency plans should the fight not go as planned.
