What the funny is, he gave JDJ credit to take back his words which were saying that GGG dropped Kovalev in sparring.
"When Kovalev first came to me he had nine fights. He was a young man, not in age but in boxing ability. When he came to me, Golovkin was already a world champion and a silver medalist in the Olympics, over 300 amateur fighters….he had all these credentials. So when they sparred, it was a like a very experienced guy against a very inexperienced guy – so of course Golovkin got the best of him," Sanchez explained to BoxingScene.com.
"I had him for eight fights and by the tail-end, he had improved dramatically. And I think since he left my gym, which I think was after 19 fights, John David has done a magnificent job with him and he’s evolved into a killer. That guy that we see on Saturday night is not the guy who left my gym, because the guy who left my gym was still a pup."
He lied too much so that he can't even remember what he himself said in the past lol
gotta give him credit, he knows how to make headlines
Homie, now I gotta complain to my Japanese Weed Man. I feel cheated.
I wanna smoke what UnAbel is on. My green buds that I bought don't take me to the imbicile zone.
Abel is solid but one of the most unlikeable trainer around. He's usually the reason whenever GGG-related makes headlines. GGG should've left him long time ago.
Lol that fans pretend that this is successful trolling. He just looks like an arrogant old fool, nothing more. He's not an Angel Garcia that's creating heat by throwing drama. Sanchez doesn't have that same charisma. He just comes across as senile.
Lol good point. If Kov loses Abel will say he had a bad game plan and would have won with him in the corner you're still not getting it...
Context: Ward vs Kovalev
Fighthype: ''Would you credit a win like that to JDJ as a coach...'' (hence: present tense on current training)
Abel: ''No... I made Kovalev.''
translation: For whatever winnable outcome against Ward, it is because of Abel.
consistent logic:
GGG's previous training is all credited to pre-Abel Sanchez since his style has been apparent even before Abel.
This is why Abel's ego is so apparent such as lifting GGG in the ring and saying absurd things in industry. Abel wants to be revelant for his own legacy... shameful behaviour
Everybody knows Abel is being completely disrespectful to JDJ....a guy who boxed himself...
so if Kovalev loses, in theory, it's because of Abel... lol
i did think about what he said.. and its completely retarded
-Would you credit a win like that to JDJ as a coach
-no i made Kov
Not sure how else to say this. He's not taking credit for any wins. He's taking credit for the style Kovalev uses because that's what he taught him early on in his career.
He didn't say he "made" him into the fighter he is today and all of Sergey's success is because of him. He said that Sergey's style is his style.
I'm not gonna argue with you. Those are facts, and you get what you want out of them. If you don't want to think about what he said and just want to throw dirt on Sanchez, be my guest. Plenty of people do that.

he didnt "make" him by training him for 8 fights

So I wanted to investigate what Abel is talking about. Here are the facts:
Sergey had 10 fights of professional experience when he started training with Sanchez
Sanchez trained him from late 2010 to early 2012, for 8 fights. 7 were KO, 1 was draw after punch was classified as behind the head.
They had a falling out and reportedly the two just don't get along.
Sanchez has previously taken 'partial' credit for building Kovalev. Here's an article:
So yeah, sometimes Sanchez says crazy stuff for headlines. It's not the case this time. He did play an important part in developing Sergey into the fighter he is today.

CrazyAbel just picking up where CrazyRoach left off. Boxing has to have at least one standout loudmouth coach. I thought it would be CrazyGarcia, but he fell off the face of the earth lately.
Abel's ego is way out of control. Maybe he feels unappreciated or overlooked at a top trainer because GGG is undefeated, but given the people GGG has fought he would be undefeated even if he were trained by crazy Ruben Guerrero.

Sanchez has previously taken 'partial' credit for building Kovalev. Here's an article: “Does Sergey Kovalev’s style remind you of anyone?”
“I started working with Kovalev after he was almost beaten by Darnell Boone back in October of 2010,” states Abel Sanchez. “I worked with him for about a year and a half after that. He recorded eight knock-outs while training at The Summit Gym, and more importantly developed the style that he uses today."
“I don’t try to change anything Kovalev does because his style is very unique,” confesses John David Jackson. “It’s not conventional. He punches from different angles. One thing he does exceptionally well is he sits on almost all of his punches.”
So yeah, sometimes Sanchez says crazy stuff for headlines. It's not the case this time. He did play an important part in developing Sergey into the fighter he is today.
