So, there is always the chance that Golovkin has already peaked (31 years old in April), in combination with the fact that the strength of his skillset cannot properly be judged at the elite level, which Geale is at, amongst any footage of his pro career.

1) Geale and Sturm both knew they would have to face Golovkin right away afterwards yet Geale decided to drop the WBA belt so he could fight Mundine and Soliman, that says something imo.

2) You would be hard pressed to find a worse style mathup for Geale. He's a boxer/swarmer hybrid or a ambush fighter like RJJ or Pascal except he throws combinations in the pocket and relies on a high volume with no power and a qustionable chin considering that he's been down 4 or 5 times against Aussie journeymen with shitty KO ratios.

Sturm/Geale could have been 7-5 either way and Sturm won rounds due to having a much higher connect percentage, Geale has all the moves to make it appear he has a good defense but he doesn't, Sturm had no problem landing on him. Felix also has a very predictable and limited offense, jab, right hand and the occasional left hook to the head or body. Ignoring his power for a moment Golovkin is a much better offensive fighter with a complete arsenal but he's also very awkward because of his switches, awkward hooks, brutal body punching and a very formitable jab himself.

He'll land alot more than Sturm did, Geale has nothing to discourage him and he will not last because of Golovkins power. Spending the majority of your time on offense in the pocket throwing combos, relying on volume and giving Golovkin constant oppertunities to exchange with you is a formula for disaster. I would be shocked if Geale made it past 6 rounds fighting in his own style, if he does he'll be running and just trying to survive. Either way he isn't winning. All that said i dont believe we will see them fight in 2013.

Note the part in yellow above....Im assuming ripper means solid or good.
