Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez: Golovkin is Already 37 - Not A lot of Time To Adjust

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Abel Sanchez, the former longtime trainer of IBF middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin, is not surprised that his former student is not exactly showing any new wrinkles in his game. Earlier this year, Sanchez and Golovkin had a tense parting of ways - after being unable to agree to a new financial agreement. Sanchez claimed that he was offered a significant cut in pay.

The reason ggg will go down as a true hypejob is because he has literally broken every promise & every word he ever sold his rabid ravenous fanbase. No mo Mexican style,no mo saying that "slick brotha style is coward runner style thats nots real box",no more "anyone from mw" let alone from "154-168" but "Got any more wws/bricklayers/belt vacancies". Gggs entire persona was erased when Nelo took his soul & exposed him as a moneyman that avoids anyone elite whos bigger than him.

I mean ffs dude & his fanbase used to ridicule fighters who didn't block with their face as "boring cowards"etc. They used to say Nelo was a coward for not standing still & playing rockem sockem robots,that ggg was all about"big drama shows & belts",I told ppl on this site that entire time that his persona was just a character like wwf wrestler's,& that he has never been truly mexican style unless he was fighting lower levels.

Then he stabbed his team of 10 yrs in the back & Sanchez who made him rich by letting him co-opt Sanchez's mexican fanbase he created for ggg by making ggg act mexican. Dude is a shell of his self & should face Charlo/Andrade/168 lbers or retire

It’s true. He’s got a whole career reflexing one way, harder to break those things now. U can learn knew things, but does he have time to get good enough at them to make them a benefit? He will just push forward like he always has. On paper learning to switch to southpaw would be an advantage. He needs to just work on the simplest tiniest things if he can even do that.

Stick a fork in him

Wow, Sanchez is a real pos sticking to the fighter that made him a somebody. He was a loser before and back to being a loser now. Bitter. Sad.

So, who are you training these days, Abel?

Anyone?

[landotter]

Some can say Sanchez is being salty... and there is a level of truth to that.... but is he wrong? Trip G is who Trip G is, and if Rolls can't get him to adjust quickly to what his skill set is at 37 as opposed to what it was at 30, than his next loss will be the KO variety and his career will have a real anticlimactic ending.

GGG has lost some of his legs and movement, which happens when fighters get older. I'd love to see him retire for his own sake, but I would probably take a beating, too, for a $100M deal.

you cannot teach a old dog new tricks

the problem for Gennady is... he did not have a steady progression of opponents, to enable him and Sanchez to develop/expand their game... they only fought low/mid-level fighters, and then suddenly stepped up in class

a 37yo suddenly deciding that he needs to become more well-rounded is a bit silly

Needs to hire Bernard Hopkins as his trainer.
