Will Australia get its dream IBF MW bout Geale vs Soliman?

Geale's win against Sylvester was a massive effort and great performance, but he does seem a bit overrated here.

A fight with Soliman won't be a guaranteed win for him and Soliman did quite well last night. It will be an interesting fight should they meet for the title.

 

Hahah not my dream fight but I would watch and enjoy it, I like both boxers and IMO gealey is not as overrated as most people are saying. He can neutralize a boxers power and has done alot for a hard working Aussie :good

Haven't been smoking **** Sox, who you been talking too? :hat

Any news of his proposed december fight with Pirog?

 

I hear ya. I reckon Geale is actually underated by many people.

All these ****s will be silent once Geale has ALL the belts.

I meant Stifflersmum, thread starter mentioning this is a dream fight.

I haven't heard anything, but then I haven't really been listening.

 

hardly a dream fight. it would likley be a boring shutout. geale needs a big fight like adamu, pirog or lee

 

Geale has done very well and is a world champion.

But has been overrated. That dont mean his sh1t, he is very very good.

But we have peeps on here who carry on about Mundine and Green paper titles. Look at the linage of that IBF 160 title and who Sylvester had fought.

 

anyhow, I though Soliman fought well last night. It was his usual style but used the uppercut to great effect. I do agree he is not pretty to watch but it is a unique style.

In saying that I think Brad Pitt needs to hold hsi hands up. What is the point with the hands down business, just hold them up and you can catch, slip or block. Otherwise you rely on head movement, and his a big guy and thats not his go, as robot Organov showed.

Organov went well apart from throwing in the towel. Easy to say I know.

 

Sure sure Stiffy.....

 

Bull****.
Besides myself

, who else has overrated Geale?

Geale is underrated by most.

 

see above Sox.

He got beat by Mundine and should want rematch. Him and supporters talk about Matinez but he is far from that. In fact Martinez is over-rated as well. Just like Pavlick, everyone thought he was unbeatable few years ago, but far from the case.

I did say he is very good.

But fighting Sylvester in Germany is nothing like Green vs Beyer or Mundine vs Ottke. Green and Mundine would have whipped Sylvester the same as Geale. How Geale would have gone against Ottke and Beyer is hard to say.

And also having his past 2 fights in Australia on PPV is way way over-rating his standing. He should be on free to air like last night and tonight, or a co-feature to a Green-Tarver like bout.

The thing with Geale is he is being paraded as the great saviour in the face of the ever lasting Mundine circus, and the growing Green circus. Boxing is as much a show as a sport though.

When you say over-rated it dont mean a guy is no good. Just that things should be kept in perspective.

 

Yeh, and?
Geale does have bigger fish to fry.
Geale / Soliman would actually be an ok fight, but as I said earlier, just a tune up. Geale is on his way up and Soliman is beneath him on that ladder. So not much point in it.

Geale Mandy is also ok, but again, Mandy has slipped somewhat since they met, and Geale has improved. Perhaps a good money spinner, but not heading in the right direction IMO.

Having said all of that, Geale beats both Soliman and Mandy in a comfortable decision.

Geale / Mandy was arguably a draw. In fact, the 6 judges who scored, say it was.
Geale wanted a rematch from the moment the decision was made on that fight, so what's your point?

If I were Geale, I wouldn't **** on Mandy now because he's irrelevant. Mandy has ****ed around fighting bums and making false promises like he's done for some time. Geale don't need to be messed up with that ****. He needs to stay focused on the bigger fish. Mandy is nothing more than a tadpole now, and a win for Geale doesn't gain him much.

I agree, Martinez is overrated, but only slightly, he is very very good.
I don't know if Geale can beat Martinez right now, but I think he can get in there and mix it up with him. Geale has good ring smarts and rises to the occasion. I think right now it might be closer than many think.

Bull****. Geale / Sylvester was bigger achievement than both.

Mandy would have beat Sylvester, dunno about Green. Green is very average IMO.
Geale beats both Beyer and Ottke.

Geale beats both Green and Mandy now.

Well, I reckon there should be no PPV's for any boxer. It's a ****en rort.
But your point is taken, as irrelevant as it is.

And why shouldn't he be, he's got a very legit decent title, and he's making all attempts to keep climbing the ladder.
When have Mandy and Green done this? You just said Mandy and Green are running a circus. Surely you don't think Geale is?

If that doesn't make a Geale a saviour, then what does?

True enough, and Geale is providing a good show, not a circus.

I know that, and it is being kept in perspective.

I'll say it again, Geale is underrated by most.

Tell me, how many here said Geale even had a small chance against Mandy?
How many thought he'd demolish Karmazin and beat Sylvester in Germany?

How many think he has a chance against Martinez? Will history repeat itself?
Geale will beat Martinez when they eventually meet, you can count on it. :good

 

Geales a good kid and a great little fighter, but he is overrated.

 

you got some crap in that post sox. I know your just trying to defend your boy, but common mate Sylvester was what he was, and he was no Beyer and def no Ottke.

And you and all else can carry on about the Mundine-Geale decision, but at the end of the day Mundine got the win in a close fight. It happens, its boxing. Boxrec says Mundine won and this will never be reversed.

Anyhow had enough. Im out.

 

And again, I call bull****.
How the **** was Beyer better than Sylvester? Kessler showed us what Beyer was. Even Green did to some extent, and as I said earlier Green is just not that good.

Ottke, is perhaps above Sylvester, however the 06/07 version of Mandy would have handled him. Which tells me Geale would handle him now.

Lets pretend that you're right for a moment though, that Sylvester is beneath both Ottke and Beyer. What point are you trying to make? Both Green and Mandy came back with nothing, yet Geale came home with the belt. How many people said that was going to happen? Geale was underrated then, just like he is today.

I never said it would be reversed.
I saw the fight, many times. I don't care much for the decision on the night. It was a close very even fight, one that should have been judged a draw.

Of course you are, you have nothing of substance.
