Did Darren Barker follow Mundines blueprint?

I, like many others believe Geale won the first fight...admittedly it was extremely close but considering the closeness and the fact that Geale was actually the defending 'champion' at the time I don't think Choc did enough to take it away from him. Rule of thumb if a round is judged to be even then the defending champ is given the 10-9 split. This fight had so many rounds that were 50/50 therefore in my opinion had Geale winning the fight. The blueprint I believe to beat Geale is to counter him...sometimes with his high work rate he can be a bit sloppy and leave himself open for counters...Barker did this well. Geale still world class though and will deservedly get his shot again

 

Wasn't Barker he one that got dropped on his arse..........some blue print.......Ottke gave the blue print on mandy........just hit him on the chin.

 

This always has been a bug bear of mine, why should the challenger be disadvantaged and lose a point in that situation. A fight should be scored as fairly as possible, if it ends up a draw the champ keeps the belt anyway, so he does have a built in advantage in those situations.

 

geale is good but not great and mundine showed that in there 1st fight..
In the 2nd fight mundine didnt do enough,geale didnt improve any,but simply mundine fell asleep.

 

Keep dreaming Baz about ya boy.

 

Well I scored the 1st fight for Geale as well so don't get to excited with mandys performance.

 

Geale dropped Barker like a sack of potatos in the 6th round.

Neither, prowler. mundane Mundine was irrelevant to Barkers win over Geale.
When they find a cure for cancer, Mundine will be irrelevant to that too

Barker beat Geale for the simple old fashioned reason that he is a better boxer than Geale.
That and the fact that he did not cave in physically this time ..his physical frailties were always his big weakness. Once he overcame these, he was always likely to beat Geale.

So I'm afraid mundane Mundine had nothing to do with it, sorry pal.
No hard feelings!

 

It would be more accurate to describe what happened a bit differently, Dog.
Geale fluked a body shot knockdown.
Geale knew about as much about that punch as a pig knows about a holiday.
He just got lucky, that's all. If you throw a million punches, sooner or later one of em is going to have a big effect.
Hate to let the facts get I the way of a good story, but that's all there was to it.

 

Geale bounced up from a flash knockdown in round 2 against Mundine. Barker lay writhing face down from the Geale body shot in round 6 and struggled to beat the count.

 

All you boys are making Sox's and Baby Jesus cry lol
