Questions:
1.What effect would it have on Kovalev if he got rid of John David Jackson + Don Turner?
2.Did Turner and Kovalev's Manager Klimas discover Kovalev in Russia?
I apologize I am editing this now i found answer to part of this question here.
http://www.foxsports.com/boxing/story/e ... ing-040517
It turns out Turner and Klimas were friends and Turner said to Klimas find me some "Russian boxers"
This part I will guess at Klimas was living in Seattle area I wonder if thats were the connection to John David Jackson comes in.
3. What is Don Turners relationship to Kathy Duva, did they have a business connection around Evander Holyfield?
4.Does Don Turner evaluate and help train boxers for Kathy Duva and she promotes them?
if anyone can explain the how Kovalev was found in Russia brought to the US , and then the connection between Kovalev being with Able Sanchez and how he left one for the other if someone could expain this to me i would be interested to hear it.

Thing I noticed in the build up was Kovalev walking out on a press conference ... that's not good.
Good fighter but they didn't school him on social media properly.

He should've gotten rid of JDJ and Turner after Chilemba fight. Most definitely right after they learned about Jackson's contacts with Ward's team.

Maybe they thought Jacksons contacts were disinformation by Wards camp, maybe Kov should have kept the Russian interpreter for the second fightboxing_rocks wrote:He should've gotten rid of JDJ and Turner after Chilemba fight.

Without naming names the Kovalev corner were not experienced for a fight like this, see them in the corner of the first fight.
Their overall outlook preparation and lead up was abysmal.

Re: Question:Kovalevs Promoter and Trainers
First fight they had Ward where they wanted him, it was just a matter of narrowing the scorecards in case of moody judges which would have meant a slightly stronger effort assuming the questionable rounds didn't go their way.victor-romeo wrote:What should his corner have been doing different in the first fight than they did?Evander wrote:Without naming names the Kovalev corner were not experienced for a fight like this, see them in the corner of the first fight.

At the end of the day, Kovalev could've made all of it a moot point by KOing Ward like he promised.

That's a pretty tall order. I am sure Kovalev said alot of things but the interview I saw Kovalev said KO would be a bonus.IKSRTFO wrote:At the end of the day, Kovalev could've made all of it a moot point by KOing Ward like he promised.
