Comments Thread For: GGG: Sanchez Lived Whole Life In California, Not Mexican Style!

[whoseyourdaddy]

What exactly is “Mexican style”? Is it merely the in fighter style? Or does one just need to be a popular fighter from Mexico to fall into the “Mexican style”? Or is it just a marketing ploy to appeal to California/Texas Mexican? Is this term actually used in Mexico or is it a Mexican American term? I don’t see how multiple fighters with different t styles can be lumped into one. Canelo is a counter puncher.

Kid Asteka, Miguel Canto, Salvador Sanchez, JMM, Finito Lopez, Barrera, Morales and many many more were counter punchers and now Hallofamers. Mexican Style is defined as "Smart Pressure Applied"

Sadly some sector of the Mexican population took it as a Mexican Style, should be a Margarito type of fight, they are the ones that don't care to see boxing from the 50's 60's 70's and grew up in an era of many face first, come forward fighters, and that same sector never accepted Oscar De La Holla... first for beating JCC, and second for his counterpuncher approach hence Canelo signing with GBP.

Mexican style is when you go to places, as a victim, like Puert Rico, and you dog out the home town hero, like Salido. People ask, who was that Mexican?

Hey guy, thats your opinion. Golovkin circles an opponent with "finesse," all his shots are swung with great form - with good impact. He relentlessly stays behind that jab. He's NOT a bad fighter. I'll admit, I'm a Mayweather, SRLeonard, Thurman, Canelo etc,. type of guy - I love "boxing" - NOT the so-called Mexican style. To me, Golovkin fights very much like Julio Cesar Chavez Sr, but at this late stage of his career how could he possibly look good against a YOUNG strong Canelo who DOES NOT fight Mexican style.... Golovkins PAST his prime with a WORN OUT style that won't help him at this stage of his career....He's lucky he didn't get SMASHED TWICE like how Oscar took advantage of a legend in Chavez....Oscar was really convinced that he did something special. He sure as hell did not!

You make a fair point about ggg,he certainly had some sort of skills considering his long reign. Even if it was against meh level competition mostly.

I think that if a younger ggg were to fight canelo however, ggg would have gotten stopped. At 36 years old ggg had enough experience to hold on for 24 rounds, and even impress in very small spurts.

As for Oscar, man all the wierd kinky **** aside, Oscar was a fkin BULL when he was young. I have yet to see someone with as much explosive power speed and precision as Oscar has when he was younger. He'll he even went 12 rounds and lost a very close fight to a completely roided out Shane mosley. Just saying.

Mexican style is when you turn the tables, like Bobby Chacon put a stop to Little Red's reign of terror.

Mexican style is when Carlos Palomino starched John Stracy in London.

I agree. In the rematch the real winner was the fans. That was awesome from the 1st minute to the last. IMO that was a draw. One guy moves forward on the bogeyman and lands big shots, the other guy past his prime gives one of the best all he can handle and rocks him hard. Canelo should not have been handed the titles because it was so close. I'm not knocking him, he did great. Too close a fight for title change.

I might talk sht about GGG but I have never said he can’t box. I’ve told ppl before I have both him and Canelo ranked P4P top 5.

36 or 37 and Hang with a PRIME Canelo shows mad skills. And Canelo in his 2/3 rd fight at MW going right at GGG is a BAD dude also! Too bad they were soo far apart in age that we couldn’t see both fight in their peaks with the same amount of experience in the same weight class....

[aboutfkntime]

That and Angulo where they look like FREAKS from getting hit. They think MexiCAN Style you should never back up or move your head and use defense.

The guys you named are way before my time. But to the fights I saw as a kid MexiCAN style is Barrera vs. Hamed where he bullied the bully. Hamed was a DIRTY fighter and Barrera planted his head when he pulled that sht. I never liked Haned for how he fought and did that BS that ruined Angie Sanchez. And PAC vs. JMM 4 also. I’ll have to catch up on the guys u named.

He himself said he was Mexican Style because Sanchez is Mexican and drastically changed him from the fighter he was in amatuers.

He's beloved by American fans for his aggressive, hard-punching style. Golovkin is constantly on the prowl and has one of the sport's highest knockout ratios.

But when he got to Sanchez, he didn't fight that way. He was more erect and vastly more economical with his punches. He fought behind a jab and wasn't looking to necessarily mix it up.

"Gennady has a completely different style than when he first came to me," Sanchez said. "We've been able to modify it and convert it into a fan-friendly style. If I'd have kept him how he was – the best way to describe it is that he came over here boxing like a Klitschko – we wouldn't be talking now.

"I was able to make a dramatic change, but I had to have a fighter who was willing to make that change with me."

And remember this cringe worthy BS out GGG mouth about how because he has Sanchez around him that means he himself has Mexican Blood? LMAO

Sanchez wanted to make sure Golovkin’s managers were given something they could really work with, so he went about teaching him the Mexican style.

“If we don’t give them something to market, then it’s impossible for them to do their job,” said Sanchez, a 1974 graduate of Edgewood High in West Covina.

Golovkin, 35, has fully embraced this way of doing business.

“This is more than a fight,” he said. “It’s a real Mexican fight. Abel brings a Mexican style to me. I love fighting Mexican style. I love Mexican food and eat it every day. I love the Mexican tradition. I am surrounded by it. I have many Mexican friends. I have Mexican blood.”

Talk about a fraud GGG was all this time.

Mexican style went out the window real quick once he was actually in a Mexican Style fight then he reverted back to his puzzzy amatuer style and it was nothing but scared jabs as his own trainer told him you losing the fight stopping backing up fight this man. Then after the loss he kicks that Mexican to the curb, Mexican style gimmick and sayings are removed from his promotions at his request. Hell he can't stand so much as a Mexican style burrito that is how traumatized Canelo beating the Mexican Style out his azzz and punking him did to this man. Now he calling Sanchez a fake mexican when without him there is no mexican style and no phony gimick and nobody in the US would of cared about you and your boring euro style. We now see what he really feels about Mexicans from this commie phuk boy from wack azzz kazaphukstan.

If we believe all this info to be true, then we must also conclude (at least I do) that Golovkins a little (a lot) pissed at all the disparaging remarks being hurled at him by someone who's supposed to be father-like to him! Maybe if Sanchez was cool about the whole thing and instead THANKED "G" for the memories - being that he was HIRED and not bonded for life thru some religious ceremony on the hills of Mexico - exchanging blood in viles in some ritual that made them ONE forever......

I believe Golovkins simply using the Cali analogy to simply say Sanchez needs a purer form of the so-called Mexican style to get him over the hump - against Canelo - and he CAN'T - it aint pure enough!.... Sanchez seems to think Golovkin owes him comfort and financial stability for the REST OF HIS LIFE!!

Every trainer in the game is STILL HUSTLING - Roach, he'll pretty much work with ANYBODY to get that money - even suffering with parkinsons), Naazim, always giving interviews in the midst of training somebody, Hunter, "helped" get Breazeale & Khan blown out - but still hustling, etc.,...Golovkin had A LOT to do with his own career blossoming, as well as helping to make Sanchez a STAR!.....It undoubtedly BOTH WAYS!

[Corelone]

Golovkin was never in a position to go Mexican until he was, and he didnt. He has a fan friendly, search and destroy style, but nothing Mexican about that. Canelo put the run on him back to the B class.
