•Aug 31, 2012

Gennady Golovkin’s trainer is fully confident his fighter will impress American fight fans in his HBO debut Saturday night. “I think boxing right now, in general, is lacking that Tyson-esque type of endings to fights,” said Abel Sanchez. “Where guys are heading home from work on Saturday afternoons [on the West Coast] because they have to go home because Tyson is fighting. … It’s those dramatic knockouts that boxing is lacking and I think that’s what you’re going to see on Saturday night.”

When asked to describe Grzegorz Proksa, the first name Gennady Golovkin mentioned was Sergio Martinez. The undefeated middleweight title-holder from Kazakhstan didn’t go nearly as far as to say Proksa is as good as Martinez, but he reiterated several times after a media gathering Wednesday morning at Madison Square Garden that he expects a difficult fight Saturday night in Verona, N.Y. (HBO; 9:45 p.m. EDT). Proksa’s lone loss came by majority decision against light-punching Englishman Kerry Hope (17-4, 1 KO) on March 17 in Sheffield, but Poland’s Proksa stopped Hope in the eighth round of their immediate rematch for the European Boxing Union middleweight championship July 7 in Sheffield.
