Abel Sanchez

Golovkin is called "Golden boy of kazakh boxing", because he has a special talent, he won almost all competitions where he took part. In Kazakhstan many experts criticize Sanchez's work. Golovkin had a proper style of boxing in the amateurs, including a good defense with lots of feints. Where all those skills now? Abel ruins GGG's career by changing his style to be more appealing to Americans. Now he doesn't move his head. He's taken lots of unnecessary power punches to his head since Abel became his trainer (Ouma, Proksa, Rosado). The fight against Ouma looked horrible. I believe money's not Golovkin's priority, he just wants to be a good fighter, but his trainer has a business mind. That's not good for GGG.

Golovkin'd better change his trainer for his safety.

 

Whilst I agree with some points you cant say Sanchez didn't make him an exciting HBO fighter with immense hype and following right now.

Gennady is aware what the public, especially Americans love and he is ready to discard his defensive, counterpunching style into a more offensive powerhouse style fighter. He has all the tools to fight that way and look spectacular doing so. Gennady knows if you want to make it big you have to excite the casuals and leave it all in the ring. He has a big desire to not only become a good fighter but one of the best.

He's Russian and a was complete unknown quantity before the Proksa fight, he knows he has to give the public something special.

I am satisified with Abel Sanchez and think he is an underrated genius trainer. I really hope him and Golovkin will make it far as a team.

 

Please don't call him Russian. He's Kazakh boxer.

 

Korean?

 

It doesn't matter. He was born in Kazakhstan, he grew up in Kazakhstan. His parents were born in Kazakhstan also. He became a boxer in Kazakhstan. He is a patriot of his country. He wears kazakh national suit when he goes to the ring. His short is made of kazakh color flag. He brings kazakh national flag with him. Kazakh national anthem plays before his fights.

In conclusion he's kazakh boxer!!! He doesn't care about Russia. And Russian fans would support Pirog against Golovkin. Russia doesn't need to pretend that Golovkin's their boxer.

 

Just facts:
1) He can speak Russian because Kazakhstan is a former soviet country, kazakh language was under an embargo. And even kazakh people couldn't speak kazakh for a long time. they were forced to use Russian letters. But anyway GGG can speak kazakh.
2) He was born in Kazakhstan and grew up in Kazakhstan
3) He won his Olympic medal for Kazakhstan
4) He represents Kazakhstan, not Russia. He also said to Russian reporter that he will never represent Russia.
5) He is a patriotic of his country and proved that a lot of times
6) He doesn't care about Russia
7) Russian fans supported Pirog when he was a champ and didn't care much about Golovkin.
8 ) Russian fans would support Pirog against Golovkin.
9) When GGG became popular in the states Russian people started pretend that he's their boxer - BS. Ask yourself why Korean people doesn't say that Golovkin is a korean fighter? because it is not the case.

Btw, he looks more Asian, than Russian.

Final question to you: Do u agree that he's a kazakh boxer?

 

with this kind of logic you can say that Wlad is a russian boxer. He was speaking russian with his mother after his fights. And one of his parents is russian, no?

Russia, you have Povetkin, don't touch kazakh national hero - GGG.

 

Ok, I see your point.

 

I thought the national hero was Borat. :yep

I'm out !
