Comments Thread For: Banks Surprised GGG Defeated Derevyanchenko Unanimously

[Yerlan T.]

Who has GGG beaten to be considered hall of fame?

He could’ve fought Saunders, Froch, Macklin, Ward, Charlo, Andrade.

All next level career defining fights.

Instead, his biggest wins are a robbery against Jacobs and beating bum ass Lemieux and Rubio

He knocked Macklin out with body punch, do your homework first.

Because you must always show confidence in your fighter to help build there's. After a fight like that, no doubt GGG is questioning his performance. So the more voices you hear insist that you did well, especially when you might be too hard on yourself, the better chance you have at rebuilding your confidence which will make you a better fighter.

How's he supposed to rebuild confidence when even his own trainer is basically broadcasting to the world that he lost and performed badly. That's embarrasing and kills any argument in favor of his performance. The trainers job is to make sure GGG has peak tactical ability and conditioning for a fight, not to tell his honest feelings to media. If he felt GGG didn't do things well, than you have that discussion with him in private and focus on the great things he did when talking to media, which is what Hearn and Loeffler did and what Sanchez used to do. This new guy hasn't seemed to help GGG at all, he needs to be cut loose

You can not be lied to in the fight game. You can lie to yourself, but the people you put around you need to be able to tell you what you need to hear. It's not about what you want to hear. Banks is there to train Golovkin on how to deal with the upcoming bout and to get out of the ring the same way he walked in. Everybody screaming for Abel Sanchez to come back are ridiculous. Johnathan Banks can not be fake about Golovkins performance because it is a direct reflection on his training. Banks said he never like GGG being matched up with Derevyanchenko, and I believe that. After a hard fought contest, it's back to the drawing board. Confidence and ego boosting mean nothing if it will end up getting you seriously hurt in the long run.

When they announced Unanimous decision I was surprised as felt it was a lot closer, but only with all 3 them saying victory goes to my guy - that's when my jaw dropped.

J. Banks, GGG's trainer.

Comment of the year, anyone?

Still doesn’t take away from my point though. Off GGG’s resume, does he have a HOF career?

Fair points. Not sure if honesty is best or not.

basically this

[Combat Talk Radio]

GGG should fire him for being real?? LOL

What good are you as a trainer if you can't be honest to your fighter and tell him there are things to improve?

You do that in private.

Plus, the fact of the matter is that Banks tried to change the guy away from the style that got him this far. That was a mistake. He admitted that mistake. Don't bash your fighter in public. That's some Freddie Roach sucka ish.

[Boxing Goat]

Banks, watch yourself son. That's the kind of stuff that got GGG's last trainer canned.
