Before the inevitable "Golovkin dropped Kovalev doe" posts, just remember that Gennady/Abel have different philosophies than Kovalev, in that Golovkin goes hard in training whereas Kovalev doesn't and says why should we beat each other up if we're not getting paid? So while yes, Golovkin dropped him keep in mind Golovkin was going at him hard and Kovalev was holding back (they are friends after all and Kovalev wasn't going to get into a war just for sparring purposes).Comment

Not to mention Gennady DROPPED Kovalev in sparring, and he has also dropped several HWs as well.
There is a reason why Ward moved up to fight Barrera instead of Gennady.Comment

Tyrell Hendrix said he dropped GGG with a body shot in sparring. He said it's on video but might never be seen.Comment

Abel Sanchez in the past has revealed stories of Golovkin’s sparring sessions with well-known top class fighters. One of the most famous incidents dealt with Sergey Kovalev. Sanchez described the encounter to Hustleboss.com as a mismatch. He stated, “He [Kovalev] was one of the sparring partners that we had. He was with me for about a year and a half. Really Kovalev was afraid of Golovkin when he was in the ring. I couldn’t spar him too much because he showed too much respect for Golovkin. He just fell apart in their with Golovkin.”
Sanchez also confirmed with Bayloric TV, “Golovkin did drop Kovalev [in sparring].”Comment
