Gennady Golovkin splits with Abel Sanchez

April 25, 2019April 24, 2019 by Michael Collins

Abel Sanchez - Gennady Golovkin has decided to dump his trainer Abel Sanchez after years of working with him in his gym in Big Bear, California. Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 LOs) didn't go into the reasons for the why he's going in a different direction, but it seems obvious that GGG needs a someone that can work on the minor flaws he has in his game on the defensive side. Golovkin has struggled in 3 out of his last 4 fights against Saul Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs. It was clear from watching those fights that Golovkin needed a different trainer, because Sanchez wasn't able to come up with the right game plans and adjustments for him to dominate like he'd been doing.
