    Hmm. If you read other fighters' quotes about him as well as his own trainers and promoter in the past, you can see between the lines that Kovalev is kind of an *******. I like him as a fighter. But I think he will regret trashing and dismissing Jackson.

    He is simply complimenting Ward for playing to his (home town) advantages well, as in surviving the first fight and having his biased judges score the fight for him, and having his referee allow an accumulation of low blows in their second fight which lead to the controversial awful stoppage. Ultimately Kovalev congratulated Ward in their second fight, but he still admits that he was fighting "two men" in the ring. Ward makes good use of his judges and referees, good on him.

    I don believe Hunter is a good fit for him. He would be better off with someone else.

    Like he stated, he got to where he is at because of his skills. I believe is the same with Ward. Ward is good because of himself not Hunter's training.

    There's nothing Kovalev can do to be better than Ward. His best bet is to move Cruiserweight.

    Kovalev has already beaten SOB in the first fight, but with SOB's personal judges, referee, and boxing commisson, in the rematch Ward got all the money, Kovalev got nothing, plus, SOB had his personal criminal referee Weeks just waiting to cheat Kovalev, SOB also had his personal judges and referee. It was SOB who said that Neutral judges would be unfair.......................why did he say that?

    Maybe because Jackson was all smiles and happiness during the post-fight interview after Kov lost?

    He said that if Ward is going to be trained to go cruiserweight it would be a waste of his own time going there as well.

    Sometimes people seem that way when the are suddenly presented wit another script to follow which contradicts a previous one.

    Why would he refuse to use the left hook?

    Kovalev just wants to join Wards team to get all the advantages ward does like home town cooking paid for ref and his own personal judges. Top that off with millions more than your opponent even if he is the Undisputed king. I would switch sides too. If they can keep a limited soft punching billy goat nut cracking fighter like Ward undefeated they could make Kovalev untouchable.

    Hunter has clear mental health issues abound...Ward himself is just an arrogant fool who has been guided to steer clear of any real danger...Kovalev was different as it was setup with judges 1st time & Judges & Ref 2nd...no good jumping up & down making your selves look like foolish stereotypes Lol...have some self respect ...

    Jackson was even in contact with Ward's team before the rematch.

    It seems like they mutually didn't like each other. Kovalev was even talking **** about us trainers and black people on Russian TV. They should have separated after the first fight lol

    Exactly !!! And Hunter is a great great mental coach. I think he already has Sergey's respect. He should be his first choice.
