If this was anywhere else Geale would be running away with this.Geale is doing more than enough to edge rounds but he's probably behind. I've got Geale by two but there's no way that's how the judges are seeing it. I smell a scandal in the air...
If the fight carries on in the same manner, Geale should take this. However, I doubt he'll get the nod here.
