Geale VS Mandy - Objective thoughts please, leave the trolling at the gate...

I don't really think you left anything at the door.

Mundine has faster hands, probably more pop in his shots and his stamina has never really been an issue when he has had a big fight.

The Mundine slide in skills is largely a myth coming from the falliga fight where he looked shot. Since then he has looked great save for his (fluke) loss to Wood.

He still has the slick defence, he still has the waist movement and he still has all of the tools to beat Geale up and he will. Geale is a good fighter but he is very basic in his approach and thus thrives against fundamentally "correct" boxers as they do what he expects them to - Choc is not an upright "European" style fighter....

 

I see mundine showing everything he has got in the first 2 rounds, and then leaving it all there.
Mundines only chance is to stop Geale in the first 2-3, after that conditioning takes over. Mundine may have a couple of flashes of his former self here and there in the later rounds, but his age, and obvious lack of strength will play a big part.

His level of opponent in the last 3 years has been nowhere. Geale on the other hand has fought and won against world class, claiming 2 titles. Mundine has fought noones, and won nothing, and has been stopped by Garth wood. These facts facts speak for themselves.

Rounds 1-3 = Choc stays with Geale and survives with movement
Rounds 4-6= Geale ups the workrate, Choc on the back foot
Rounds 7-9= Geales workrate too much for choc, loses all 3 rounds
Roundss 10-12 Geales Work rate tires choc, and choc gets caught with shots, possible stoppage in rounds 10-11.
Winner - Geale
Choc retires.

 

I truly think the highlighted bits are wishful thinking on your part.

I really think Mundine will go at Geale from the opening bell, I think he will stop Danny.

 

I think he will go at him too. I really think its his only chance of winning this fight. But his lack of power will stop it from happening.

 

atsch Truly awful analysis. I thought movement didn't matter .

Men were talking in this thread.

 

Most people are writing Choc off entirely. I think he will be primed for this fight, and it is going to be a much closer fight than a lot of people think.

It's Chocs last chance at the big time, he isn't going to leave any stone unturned, can he win?? I believe he has a pretty good chance, he will not be as weight drained as when he needs to make JMW which mean he won't come in looking like a HIV victim as he has over the last few years.

I believe that it's going to be a much more competetive fight than people think.

 

His body has been looking more healthy in his last few fights, the Jerez fight is the only one where I thought he may have ****ed himself on the weight cut.

Mundine has a huge ego when it comes to competition, I think he genuinely thinks he should be on the biggest stage of them all. You have to believe he is training his ass off to shine once more in the biggest OZ fight since he beat the **** out of Green. Like I mentioned elsewhere, the Mundine decline is mythical. All the tools he needs to beat Geale he still has, the first fight he didn't use his bike so he won't need it this time.

 

Brah, I was policing this thread!

 

Movement matters when you are on the back foot. Keep the trolling out of here.:yep

 

The main 2 concersn are his eye and his Hip, He has kept the severity of his hip injury under wraps for many years, but there is a reason why his movement and defense isn't once what it was and its not entirely to do with him getting older. His hips bothers him in big ways
