Interesting article about what Golovkin and Rolls want to improve on.
Never liked what I saw in the video clips coming out of the gym when he was with Sanchez.
Question.... At age 37 is it too late??
Wish he had left Sanchez sooner. From the videos leaking prior to each of their fights, especially the second, you could tell Canelo was working on more things with Eddy and Chepo, while Sanchez didn't appear to offer any new approach. There was too much focus on strength and that, looking back now, appears to have been what those training camps were all about. A puncher is always going to be a puncher. There were so many wrinkles Golovkin could have added to his game if Sanchez was that kind of trainer. There could still be time to add some stuff but Sanchez stagnated Gennady. GGG could have been a true ****ing monster if he capitalized on his earlier style and if Abel didn't mouth off so much and actually had Golovkin get more meaningful fights.
i don't think anyone gives a flying ****...or a rats ass.....
hell prob bring steve forbes out of retirement next
cant wait for tony ge to post a link to "2 pounds says he feels better than he did 15 years ago and is ready to give golovkin his toughest test yet"
In short.. yeah, it is too late. Don't get me wrong, Golovkin's style should age relatively well. But it takes a year or two to get completely acclimated to the new trainer. By that time, Golovkin will be 39.
Think so? I feel like Golovkin has always had the tools, but that the gamelans and coaching from Sanchez were holding him back. In really excited to see him with a new trainer. His cardio is exceptional for his age and he hasn't been in a lot of wars so I think there's time for him.
Golovkin’s trainer is called Banks. Rolls is his next opponent. Even though they are both African, they are not the same person.
Wow I screwed up. Thanks...

TBH I think Golovkin made the most of a relatively crappy situation he ended up. Sanchez was doing a good job promoting him and building him up, so he needed that to get a big fight. He couldn't replace Sanchez between Canelo fights, as that's a recipe for disaster. Now that he can replace him, it's late.
