Comments Thread For: Banks Wants Golovkin To Show All His Skills, Not Just Power, Against Canelo

[HeadShots]

Abel Sanchez hurt GGG? He turned him into a "meathead fighter?" Abel Sanchez was GGG's trainer since 2010, since he came to the US and for his entire MW championship ascent.

GGG was undefeated as a pro and 350-5 in the amateurs without mentally Disabled Sanchez.



GGG propelled Sanchez, not the other way around.

I agree with you that GGG would have been great with any trainer, but you haven't supported your argument that Abel Sanchez turned him into a worse fighter than he was, or that Johnathan Banks is a better trainer.

by Disabled Sanchez's own words he wants GGG to be a meathead brawler.


He said, "GGG shouldve been more aggressive in the 2nd fight and that he didn't want him to box." when in reality, GGG boxed beautifully and won despite being out of his prime.

He should've supported his fighter for choosing a different game plan and using it. DISABLED Sanchez only wanted him to fighting aggressive meathead style. his doesn't know a different way.

Who knows GGG better than Abel Sanchez? Regardless of the scores, GGG fought very effectively against Canelo in the first fight (with Sanchez in his corner). GGG fought his normal style in that fight, pressure fighting behind the jab, closing down and keeping Canelo on the back foot (not sure why you call that "meathead" style).

In the second fight (which I think GGG should also have won, but a lot closer), GGG gave up too much ground to Canelo. Sanchez has been very vocal and clear about how GGG changing his tactics away from his normal pressure style in the second fight hurt him on the cards. He very astutely observed that when a fighter who is known for fighting nearly 100% of the time on the front foot is suddenly voluntarily giving up ground and boxing on the rear foot, it just looks bad to the judges. GGG made Canelo look more effective than he was. Sanchez was right. If GGG allows Canelo to back him up again in the trilogy fight, the ref's will score a whitewash for Canelo.

I agree.
Why did Golovkin fought that way? Maybe a small injury we will never know of?
Maybe he just wanted to try something different?

You can't be an olympic silver medalist and world amateur champion without knowing how to box. GGG can box if he chooses to.

I'm curious about how you define "boxing." GGG is an excellent technician and boxer. He has shown that for his entire career. He doesn't dance or fight like Erislandy Lara or Rigo, if that's what you mean by boxing. He never has and he never will fight like that. If his style has changed in any measurable way in recent years, its due to father time not letting him do everything he could when he was 25-30 yrs old.

Funnily enough, GGG deviated from Sanchez’s plans of taking the fight to Canelo. GGG was on the back foot, jabbing and trying to box Canelo when Sanchez was telling him to fight like they trained in the gym. In the post fight Sanchez said we can’t complain about every loss and that GGG didn’t fight Canelo like they planned to.

Sanchez hyped up GGG with the Mexican style BS for the rematch, only for GGG to fight more like Ivan Calderon.
