Yes, you are correct, Kovalev did say he had fought a trainer but would not say who it was yet....................however, no boxer can take it to the testicles like SOB did, that was clearly against the rules, listen to Paulie calling him on it! The fix was in.........................testicles blows are clearly illegal and always has been, except for SOB. He clearly cheated, Tony Weeks and Bob Bennett both were in on it also, they knew that SOB cheated...........................
So apparently Barrera was offered $400k to fight Kovalev. He turned it down as he considered that too low, apparently he got more Vs Ward.
Hes might not win this fight, to stupid not to get a trainer to push him to do road work and Sit-Ups. If this guy can take his puch and go to the body pressure him, kovalev is toast no trainer to make adjustments in the ring . Cause fighters don't always see things they are doing wrong and how to adjust to diffrent fighting styles their opponent is trying in the ring. But his punching power probably will save him hits to hard. If this is true and he fights with no trainer and this guy takes his punch and it goes the full fight he might lose cause hes making an easy fight hard and it's not necessary, Hmmmmmm
That's like going to court and representing yourself. Sh*t never ends well but it'll be fun to watch while it lasts.
He got more versus Ward because that was a title shot. If you fight Kovalev now you get less money because he doesn't have a title. Seems like pretty basic arithmetic to me, Sullivan.
Vitali Klitschko should train him! Kovalev needs that father figure! Lol & I wouldn't **** with Vitali..
I heard on Pavlik's podcast that Kovalev not only drinks between fights but also is a cigarette smoker. They reckon Joel Diaz might be his new trainer.
Kovalev is learning how to play the media and get attention. He has a trainer and is probably working with several ones behind the scenes.
