My prediction 2013: Geale defeats Golovkin

[MidniteProwler]

Anybody discrediting Geale for fighting Mundine is ignorant, Mundine is Australia's cash cow, GGG is worth low 6 figures, Mundine is worth 7 figures in Australia...

Geale crying about having lost his WBA belt when he knew before he ever fought Sturm the winner would have to face Golovkin next was Geale discrediting him.

Golovkin is a straight up bitch anyway, he claims everybody is ducking him but Sakio Bika offered to fight him and GGG's team decided to completley ignore this and instead chose to fight a blown up lightmiddleweight...

Geale chin is glass? He took some of Mundine (who is a puncher) straight rights and Strum's body shots, his chin hasn't reached it's prime when he was dropped by one of the local fighters.

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.

Perhaps Solid would be a better choice of words.!!!

Geale is chanceless against Golovkin. He does not have a small chance - he has no chance whatsoever.

Why? He holds no advantage in any section of a boxers arsenal. I base the analysis on the Sturm-Geale and the Golovkin-Proksa fights. Both fights are on Youtube - go and have a look.

Sturm-Geale
Geale walks forward, seemingly preferring to do battle on the inside with Sturm. Sturm has seemingly few objections to this. While Sturm seems to be the stronger man, landing the more accurate and significant shots, Geale is more active (+better footwork). This largely sums up the fight over the whole 12 rounds.

Golovkin-Proksa
Golovkin walks forward trying to cut the ring. Proksa circles and potshots. It soon becomes apparent that he does not move well enough to avoid Golovkin’s jab or left hook, and later, the right. Proksa’s attacks does not at any point hurt Golovkin, and after round two his potshotting does not even cause Golovkin to blink. As Golovkin ups the pace in round three and onwards the fight turns into real beating.

The unfair comparison
Proksa retired Sebastian Sylvester in three rounds while Geale had to go 12 rounds to a split decision. Accordingly Golovkin will win easily over Geale. Not a fair comparison I would say. What happened? Sylvester had a major hole in his defense that only a Proksa-Martinez type of fighter could exploit. He keeps his guard up with both gloves really high while hunching forward. Proksa prefers to have his gloves around his waist to hide his angle of attack. The result was that while they are in the zone, Sylvester simply could not see Proksa’s gloves. Just dig out your old gloves from the closet and try it yourself! Sylvester fought blind, became totally demoralised and retired after three rounds.

The fair comparison
Geale walks forward a bit square without any final side-step or feint as he enters his opponents zone. This will be a major issue against Golovkin as he will not have any defensive advantage based on movement. Also, not possessing a fast, long or powerful jab means that he will have to take what Golovkin can dish out as he comes in. Based on what Geale did against Sturm, Geale will step on the gas and swarm Golovkin, Ouma used this to some effect in the early rounds of his fight against Triple-G. Big difference - Ouma was quick on his feet, Geale is not. This makes a Geale-Golovkin fight a slugging match between an active volume puncher with little power (52% KO ratio, several SD wins) and an active power puncher with 88% KO ratio and not an SD in sight. If Geale really tries he can stem the tide by swarming, but eventually he will tire and the outcome of this fight is not even remotely in doubt. The worst thing is that Geale has a decent chin, but hopefully the referee will save him before he is hospitalised like Ouma.

There is no disrespect for Geale in preferring the Mundine fight.

Excellent post.

Googled it and the only thing that turned up was a ESB thread where you claimed the same thing with no proof other than saying Sakio mentioned it to you at a local show. Just keep enjoying Australia's MW glory years with Geale, Soliman, Mundine and whatever other nobodies you clowns want to have "super fights" with.

You keep enjoy sucking GGG's dick until he fights a top fighter in his own weight class and is beat.

We both know Sakio would KO GGG's ass

[PowerBack]

Would be a nice fight to look forward to..
But Geale would be severely outgunned and his boxer-mover style combined with his volume punching, won't be able to keep GGG away. Golovkin would walk forward behind his jab and find holes for his hammer of a right hand.
GGG TKO 9

Lol owned.

What's the bet Geale will take Bumdine's route and become the new 2010's version of him by taking the easy ones at home?

Nice WWE avatar

Anyway, Golovkin is a small middleweight himself and is probably naturally smaller than his opponent. Anyone with half a brain will understand that Golovkin is only going to take keep busy fights at super middleweight otherwise the size advantage his opponent will enjoy just becomes too much of a factor. Even if Bika's team did offer a fight (unlikely, not seen anything) its hardly a good move for team GGG for a keep busy fight. Bika a large 168lb fighter who is notorious for going in with his head and causing cuts etc, Golovkin would outpoint him but would get roughed up something nasty in the process, preventing more important bouts at 160lbs being made. Its not rocket science, well maybe if your 1st sport is WWE wrestling it may be.

Golovkin said he would fight anyone from 154 to 168 Bika would KO him IMO, I'm just tired of the claim that everybody is ducking GGG, make all the excuse's you like for him not to fight Bika, but Bika infact has fought at 160 before.

Geale overrated?? Are you fucking kidding? On this forum, despite defeating Felix Sturm and Sebastian Sylvester in their own backyard and unifying the WBA and IBF middleweight titles, he gets zero respect and credit from anyone on this forum, yet Golovkin ko a guy with one of the worst defensive displays I have witnessed in the last 10 years and apparently he is unbeatable and is a future all time great according to some of the nuffies. Not to mention the retards on this forum having a orgasm over him feasting on yet ANOTHER blown up 154 fighter. Get real you fucking deluded moron.

Geale will have to find enough balls in his panties to dare and go in a ring with GGG first ...

Yeah true because GGG is showing he has a lot of balls fighting a 154 pound fighter Rosado.

When the small Rosado gets KO'd get ready for the Jizz flying everywhere on ESB about GGG's great power... Geales KO win over Karmarzin is more impressive then anything GGG has done...
