unAbel Sanchez does it again: I made Kovalev

[Dip_Slide]

This guy is great for ratings and publicity, and I think he has to know boxing however since he's been around the game a long time and worked with a lot of very good fighters. However he never made any sense when it came to stuff like this, he's the epitome of a troll and that's one of the way to sells tickets.

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:

  “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.

Still wouldn't be the worst thing Abel has said..

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.

You mean he didn't! I am shocked, totally shocked!
