Golovkin wants his name spelled "Gennadiy" from now on

**** it. Should've done stuff like this earlier. No nice guy image, not much english so he he actually get his points across. People saying Canelo broke him are ******ed.

Yea pretty hard to break a guy when you have not even beat him according to ALMOST everyone but his fanboys.

So Triple-G asked media to spell his first name G-E-N-N-A-D-I-Y now because that's how it appears on his birth certificate and how he wants it. Now can someone tell him he has his name misspelled on his @GGGBoxing twitter account? 😉

His middle name is Gonna die a Vich! How does he want it pronounced? Gennady***** or Gonna die a Vitch? That’s my question

It will be done then my lord, Gennadiy. I will make sure everyone in this forum spells it correctly or they're getting confronted, period no questions asked.

Gennadiy as in hes doing it by himself now, no trainer ^^

Wow Gennad"I"y is truly next level. His mental warfare is exquisite. For those who cant read between the lines, this is a direct hit at Abel Sanchez. This it letting him know, "Hey! It's all about I. Me!". Thus, the added I.

"I" see what you did there, Mr.

There is no I in TEAM, but there is a ME!

...so? Heaven forbid the guy actually wants his name spelled the correct way.

A more interesting matter is why do we have to call Gervonta Davis Ger-von-tae when it's clearly Ger-von-ta...? We can't just pronounce words however we choose. Language has rules and if you (meaning whichever parent filled out his birth certificate) misspell your kid's name... tough. You don't get to make the rest of us sound illiterate just because you are.

As an aside, if anything has changed Golovkin's attitude in recent times, it's twice being the victim of the ongoing corruption in this business we sometimes like to call a sport.

People like breaking rules. For example, I worked with two girls named Danielle.
Proper spelling and all. One wanted her name pronounced "Dan-Nell".
So the other Danielle called her "Dumb as hell, Dan-nell."

i guess no more "mexican style" either...

Probably for financial purposes etc. His bank could reject a deposit if his name isn’t spelled correctly. Obviously he doesn’t run his Twitter account.

Since when did the media write him checks?

[GGG Gloveking]

Ok, then.

Lil giy it is...
