Earlier, the Kazakh boxer had an open training session at Mendez Boxing.
At the roundtable discussion at Madison Square Garden, Sanchez admitted that the upcoming fight would be a tough fight. However, Golovkin’s coach was quite confident about the boxer’s chances. “This is a thinking man’s fight. The adjustments we make in the corner will determine the fight. Nobody at 160 can stand the power of Gennady,” Sanchez said.
Sanchez, who once wrote the best 12 fighters in the history of boxing on a dry erase board at the gym with Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather among others, saw in Golovkin the raw power that would surely bring him to the top one day. "Give me three years I'll get you to the top of that list," Sanchez told Golovkin.
