Andre Ward’s trainer Virgil Hunter is offering former light heavyweight champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev a helping hand to get him back to the top of his game following his second consecutive defeat against Ward.
Kovalev was stopped in the 8th round by Ward on June 17 after getting hit with 3 straight hard body shots that folded him in half.
Hunter says he can teach Kovalev how to protect his body in fights, as well as how to throw body shots. Hunter questions whether the trainers that Kovalev currently has have the ability to teach him how to fix the flaws in his game.
Hunter wants Kovalev to know that he’s not looking to solicit a job from him as his coach. He just wants to help Kovalev, because he sees him as a struggling fighter now after his second loss.
”I would tell Kovalev, If [John David] Jackson and everybody’s gone, come on down with us! I’m sure he’ll have a lot of fun and I believe at this stage that I could teach him how to be a devastating body puncher,” said Hunter to Fighthype.
