I was hurt. Abel Sanchez spoke about the break with Golovkin

Former coach of the IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) from Kazakhstan, Abel Sanchez, spoke about breaking off relations with GGG in an interview with the American media. The American mentor still had a grudge from the departure of the ward to another mentor, according to bbabo.net.

In April 2019, after almost 10 years of cooperation, the Golovkin-Sanchez tandem broke up. Now GGG trains under the guidance of American Johnathon Banks.

- How was the situation with the gap with Golovkin for you?

- I think people should understand that most coaches give a lot of time to the sport and the fighter. It cuts you off from your family, from work, and from many things in life. When you dedicate 9.5 years to someone and put everything else in the background, and end up with what he did ... I will say - yes, it was a shame. If I were given an explanation why, then I could understand. But this was not done. I also understand that the career has to move on. I hope he made the right choice. Although, looking at some of the results of his last three or four fights, I don't believe it was the right choice. Not because I'm the best person he should be with or a super trainer.

Sometimes you do certain successful things, but once you change those things, everything changes. And it's not just about Gennady. It happened to other fighters. You change all the work and all the things you've done - and things don't go so well. Not so that you lose, but not so good.

Here you need to think about age. The opponents you are fighting now are just as hungry as you were before. The blows you take may have an effect later in your life. We are here thinking about the damage received in the hall, and how it can affect in 45-50 years. We continued to spar, we did a lot of things, but I tried to do things that would keep him safe from injury in the gym. And if you do everything right in the hall, then, accordingly, you do everything right in battle. The fight with Derevyanchenko told me, showed me the picture. I didn't see the whole fight, but I saw the pictures and read some of the reviews. It just showed me that he wasn't doing the necessary things to take care of himself. It is he who will suffer from all these things in the future. No aunt, no uncle, no brother, no wife.

- If you meet, what will you talk about?

- I'll just hug him. I'll say, "It's nice to see you, you look good." If I see him, I will shake his hand, hug him and wish him good luck.

"So he doesn't camp at Big Bear." Are you not dating him?

- No, he's not in Big Bear. He was here the first fights, but I don't know where he is now.

- Do you think it was more his team's decision than his?

- Not. What do you mean by "team"?

- I mean, maybe the brother influenced, maybe the family.

It's definitely not a brother. These were not his managers, because they are in Germany. One day, off camera, I will tell you, but now I don’t want to discuss it.

Recall that Golovkin will return to the ring on April 9 in Japan, where he will have a unification fight with the holder of the WBA Super middleweight belt Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs). In case of victory, the Kazakhstani in September will meet with the Mexican Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) for the third time. Earlier, by the way, Sanchez named three boxers capable of beating Canelo.
