styles make fights.
this sure would be an ugly one. when was sam in a pretty one? sams assult negates dans workrate. this one is all wrong for geale. soliman has more left at 39 than one would believe. gay shaw has already stated they wont fight soliman. i wonder now if they will change their mind that he has actually won, AND the IBF will demand geale fights soliman? i still think geale win it, but a clash of styles for sure.

Sam's all wrong for anyone. He's a world class spoiler who managed to manufacture himself into a contender. Good for him.
No-one has handled him well at their first attempt. The Man struggled with him, Sakio Bika lost, Prime Winky Wright struggled, Sturm lost. I've seen Kostya Tszyu sparring with Sam & even he struggled. The best you're ever going to do against Sam at your first attempt is look bad and win. That's Real Deal Geale's next assignment. |

Secondly, you're right in saying Sam is a spoiler. He's not a particularly great boxer, but what he does, frustrates his opponents. However, Geale is a master at not getting frustrated, so he has that covered. Sturm was all over Soliman in the first 3 rounds, mainly because he was pretty active. As soon as Sturm slowed down a touch, Soliman had the advantage. Geale won't slow, and he'll be even more active than Sturm and Soliman. I think Geale has this pretty easily, because they are both awkward in their own way, Sam with his gorilla tactics, and Daniel with his constant pressure. Geale will be much more effective, much like Sturm was in rd 2. Geale lopsided UD or stoppage. |

It's not so much as karma catching up with Sturm but rather 2 fighters who were fit and volume punchers. There's no way that Geale has this easily. Everything Geale does Soliman has already seen. The same can't be said the other way. And when you look at the way Soliman fights it is quite technical; he would've spent I reckon around 80% of the fight moving to his right, as well as controlling the distance by bopping up and down in and out of range. There's no way Geale stops Soliman. Mundine did, but only after hurting him badly in the 2nd round, and it took Choc until the 9th. And that was at 168. It will go to a decision. Realistically, Geale's best option is Soliman. Geale will get beaten by GGG and Martinez. |

But yeh, he did seem to steal the later rounds with workrate. Quote:

Come on 3 even rounds in the middle of a fight. Either it was very close or your sitting on the fence.
