Comments Thread For: Golovkin Hires Johnathon Banks as New Trainer

Exactly. Abel brought nothing to the table.

That much was evident when Gassiev looked clueless against Usyk. He assumes brute strength is going to win.

Sorry Golovkin but how is this guy better than Abel?

So disappointing

You remember Gassiev's corner instructions in that fight? How he could turn it around? I don't. That's been Sanchez in every important fight I remember him being a part of since the Jacobs fight.

Gassiev needs to leave him, too.

Loeffler probably suggested Banks to him.

Abel didn't even have a game plan. If it wasn't for Gennady fighting the way he did in the 2nd half, he wouldn't have got back in the fight.

It was GGG who made the ill advised decision to retreat and jab for much of the fight. That wasn't the plan.

Edit: i apologize to Mr. Banks. That headline is clickbait. He didn't say that at all. He said alot of good things imo. GGG throwing more body shots, upping the tempo, Jab even more, not allowing Canelo to back him up etc. He said if GGG can up the tempo and pace to a point where Canelo gets uncomfortable and starts swinging back, GGG can knock him out in 6 rounds. He got belief in GGG and he wasn't even his trainer back then.

Abel doesn't have plans. He wanted him to stand toe to toe and exchange body shots. That wasn't working so Golovkin decided to box and that's what gave him success.

It's why Barrera left, Joyce left, Diaz left, Golovkin, idk about Saucedo but he was taking too much punishment. He isn't teaching anything.

I think Klitschko went 15-1 with Manny. He hired him after the Sanders loss, not Brewster.

Yep your right. Wikipedia confused me with their wording. Thanks for the correction.

Didn't see this coming. Not much training will be needed to beat Rolls to a pulp.
