“What everyone noticed was the inactivity to him,” Banks said. “He wasn’t as active as most people normally see him. I see the talent in the guy, but I think he can be more active and throw more punches. One thing I can’t stand is walking in the ring with only one way to win.”

I like what I'm hearing. GG did slow down a lot in terms of pressure. And, the 2nd line seems to be a direct shot a Sanchez's inability to give a fighter a way to overcome adversity (a plan B, C, etc).

Suprised he didn't even consider making his twin, Max Golovkin, his trainer.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense, it kind of looks like he just went across the street up there in big bear

Hahahahaha

Yea you mean the cheapest trainer.

It’s obvious ggg let Abel go due to money issues because out of all the trainers he cudda got Roach, Garcia, goosen, Hunter etc Banks is easily the cheapest.

Money hungry ggg

His brother was supposedly the better fighter you’d think he’d help advise him. I think he should’ve gone with Robert Garcia.

That's speculation unless you know each trainer fees. I think the change is good. Abel has his style of training and banks appears to be a bit different. We will see if anything actually changes when we see upcoming fights

Cool, nothing wrong with this decision let's see what's up

I think he wants to learn African American Style.

Tom Loeffler-"Banks was a distraction tactic used to cover up fighting an unknown opponent ranked #97, after back stabbing Abel."

"We needed a smoke screen in order to pull another okidok on boxing fans."
