Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez Expects April Bout For Gennady Golovkin

[Kagami Taiga]

The legend of Golovkin's old age is growing faster than his knockout prowess. I can see the headline in late 2016:

Seventy three year old Golovkin fights off 22 year old Canelo Alvarez with help of a cane.

Lol u Golovkin fan are wayyyy to defensive. 35 years old is quite old in boxing. Spending more than half a year out isn't good. Period.

Man, my comment went right over your head. I thought it was pretty straight forward.
Hint: Google is your friend.

Also.. you do realize that 90% of "star" level boxers fight 2x a year, which is.. drumroll... ~6 months apart.

Tureno is no joke he's probably better than Monroe and Rubio

No way, Monroe beats Johnson 8 rounds to 2. Rewatch Johnson vs Gavronski, Theran, and O'Kane - he has nothing to offer Golovkin. He's a stalking pressure fighter with no power, average speed & footwork, sub-average defense. It's a farce that he was able to become a mando off the O'Kane win, absolute farce. Monroe atleast blew by guys like Kopylenko, Adams, and Vera overall losing maybe 2 rounds at most. He went into the Golovkin fight with atleast a speed advantage. Johnson has nothing to offer.

Trainer Abel Sanchez is on his daily grind at the Summit Gym in Big Bear with his various boxers but in due time, his best known client, WBA/IBF/IBO middleweight, Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31KOs) will be walking through his doors to get back to work as they embark on their 2016 campaign.

Cant stand GGG mainly because of his fans but this is what helps make him good, he actually fights a lot. Staying active keeps him sharp and in shape. No way given his style would he be the force he is if he were fighting once maybe twice a year, hell given his build itd probably kill him to make weight if he fought less often. If Canelo were smart hed take a 10rd (non title) fight in March/April than take his voluntary in May than GGG in September but my guess is Canelos about 185lbs right now and not even looking twice at a boxing ring. I hope Canelos team gets their head out of their @$$, he barely beat a career welter. He needs to focus on moving up and keeping his skills sharp in the ring, and that stamina of his needs a lot more than San Diego sea level training...

That's a momentum killer and it's horrible for a 35 year old fighter.

Slow down dude he doesn't turn 35 for another 16 months yet.

[NEETzsche]

if they only plan to fight twice, hopefully they can offer a bigger purse than usual in april and secure a better opponent than johnson. otherwise he'll likely kill his chances for FOTY 2016. of course, to postpone the johnson defence would require unification, which leaves us with jacobs and saunders, who require $5m apiece to face gennady...

GGG smashed Monroe/Rubio and he's gonna do the same thing to Johnson. The fight will probably be more entertaining because TJ is a scrappy inside fighter.

[Holystroke3]

The April fight will probably be against Campbell

[Shadoww702]

If you look up the top 10 in middleweight GGG either knocked them out already or they are ducking him. Not many fighters left that dare to step into the ring with him.

And NONE are even ranked P4P in the top 50! Sht I don't think this shty MW division has any ranked in the top 100...

Brag-on!!!

Change your pic to GGG picking fruit on Loeffler shoulders...
