Comments Thread For: Sanchez Adjusts Golovkin's Sparring Schedule For Jacobs Fight

[Deletrious]

If he sparred the same amount as he did the last 6 fights then his schedule isn't being tweeked...

GGG still has three years at his absolute prime. GGG has not had much wear and tear over his career. He has learned how not to leave it all in the gym. GGG could have beat the pulp out of Brooks all night long if Brooks could have taken it. Of course Brooks would have been lucky to make 8 rounds.

Smart. When you have over 300 amateur/pro fights combined and over 15+ years in the sport you don't need to be sparring a lot. One because to wear and tear on your body and two you've seen it all and everything is second nature.

I think Abel is just trying to say it´s quality over quantity. Sounds smart to me.

Only 8 rounds a day??? I used to spar more when I was an amateur, is Golovkin fading??? I'm joking I know he's fading, not the same Golovkin 2010 and before

What fighter in their mid thirties is the same fighter they were 7 years previous? This is just common sense and goes without saying. Nevertheless, he is a special fighter and until he gets beat, he is still the best middleweight out there.
Given he beats Jacobs, he should go after Charlo now that he's a middleweight. Beating those 2 should silence most of the critics who aren't totally bias and affirm his legacy as one of the best middleweights of all time. It might not put him at Robinson, Monzon, Greb level but definitely in the conversation.

That's not a lot of rounds but at the same time you have to be cautious because you don't need a freak injury happen during training camp.

Beating Jacobs isn't more special then beating Lemiuex, but if he beats Charlo that's one hell of a win but I don't see it happening, yesterday I was watching Charlo's last few fights I think he's just too good and powerful for Golovkin
