Comments Thread For: Kovalev Rejects Talk That Golovkin Dropped Him in Camp

[Cinci Champ]

shocking sanchez spinned the truth i would of never guessed such a thing from him. smh. its crazy i wonder why im not a fan of ggg sometimes i love watching him fight then i realize its sanchez. maybe thats not fair ggg is his own man but sanchez is so full of **** its annoying and whats even more annoying is ggg fans eat up everything he says like its the gospel

Things like this is why GGG is becoming disliked by many people. His team, Abel in particular, keep running their mouths and I'm having a hard time believing all of it. It's hard to distinguish GGG from his team, because GGG hasn't made them put a lid on it. I get the promotional side of it, but geez... Not only does it not matter, but they not trying to move up to fight Kov right now to prove that a knockdown in SPARRING matters. *in my Allen Iverson voice* We talkin' bout practice?!?!?

[NapalmKnuckles]

Didn't JDJ confirm this? Didn't Kovalev himself hint that GGG got the better of him and that he's happy he isn't in his division? Why deny now when GGG's camp have been making this claim for years.

[New England]

To fight guys he already Knocked Out and Ward Slappy Arms who hasn't had a KO in years!!! So what is GGG afraid of again???

moving in weight and kissing the biggest fight in boxing [canelo at middleweight] goodbye. his handlers are "afraid" of that.

they also realize that he'd get handled by ward and kovalev.

The obsession with this one moment is weird. Boxingscene seems obsessed with regurgitating it over and over.

BTW, Golovkin himself got dropped in sparring by a bodyshot by some guy no-one really knows. Meaning, it doesn't mean that much in the grand scheme of things.

Wasn't real if it happened to golovkin, only when golovkin did it to other guys in sparring.

[Weltschmerz]

He's admitted it numerous times. In addition to that, Kovalev and Sanchez/Golovkin have different sparring philosophies. Kovalev said because of the way Golovkin trains, the way he goes hard in training, in order for Kovalev to properly spar him, he would have to go hard too, meaning it would be a fierce fight. He said why do that unless they get paid? Why both hurt each other unless it's for money. So that is the difference. Golovkin went hard, Kovalev wasn't going hard. That's all it is really. Abel never liked that about Kovalev and I don't think Kovalev liked that about Abel. Just a difference in training philosophies.

That explains it and now that you mention it, I remember the part you say about different approaches. I recall Kovalev stating those things before, that's true.

[BigStomps]

Only one way to settle it. Little g should pull a Kell Brook and jump up to weight divisions and fight the Krusher. I'll put my money on the Krusher

[GaryMSchneider]

WBO/WBA/IBF light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (30-0, 26KOs) has a rejected the circulating rumors that he was battered and dropped by Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs), who holds the IBO/IBF/WBA/WBC titles at 160, during a sparring session several years ago.

Who cares.

[Thuglife Nelo]

Of course. It was only until Groves recently said that GGG used body shields for sparring... Abel never disclosed that...
