The Quiet Man

GENNADY GOLOVKIN IS A RETICENT, PEACEFUL PERSON. ‘GGG’ IS ANOTHER MATTER ENTIRELY.

The Summit Gym is in a piney mountain neighborhood with streets named after unremarkable birds (Thrush, Wren). Still, you expect you’ll know it when you see it. And then you will drive past it. Probably more than once. The most combative thing about the white duplex with the spacious driveway is the “No trespassing” sign at the edge of the property.
