Gennadiy Golovkin declined to respond Saturday to the harsh words his former trainer delivered last week.
Abel Sanchez painted Golovkin as a greedy, ungrateful fighter once the former middleweight champion announced April 22 that he was parting ways with his longtime trainer. Golovkin announced during a press conference Saturday morning at MGM Grand that Johnathon Banks has replaced Sanchez.
When asked about Sanchez’s provocative comments, Kazakhstan’s Golovkin smiled and replied respectfully.
“I respect his [training regimen],” Golovkin said. “He [taught] me a lot. This is his thoughts, you know, his side. Just watch my Instagram. … I said, ‘Thank you very much. Thank you very much, sir. You teach me.’ It was a huge experience. It was a very nice, good experience. Thanks. That’s it.”
“I want more,” Golovkin said. “I want to learn again and again because, you know, I’m a big boxing fan. I can’t stop. … I am going forward. I need experience. I need more experience.”
“I think that’s obvious, because we’re two totally different people,” Banks said when asked about the differences in their training styles. “It’s almost like you have two people from different walks of life, OK? But they work in the same field. So, me and him, we’re both in the boxing business. If we enter the gym with a fighter, your vision will be different from my vision. Not saying your vision is wrong – not saying my vision is wrong or right. We’ve just got two different visions.”

Odd choice but i suppose Golovkin's looking for yes man to see out the remainder of his career, someone basically to work the corner like how Wlad did with Banks after Steward died
Banks was hopeless in the corner of the Fury fight, didn't even speak hardly, pretty sure Vitali ended up going mental at him

I’ve never forgiven Banks for throwing the Mitchell rematch.
That’s not at all relevant to the conversation, but I’m saying it anyway.
