    Geale is pretty slick, and pretty difficult to hit when he wants to be. I see him standing a good chance for a UD if he doesn't gas.

    Vast majority on this forum picking Geale to win.

    I am rooting for Geale to win but my pick all along has been a Cotto UD.

    A huge amount of respect for Geale in the poll here. But the betting agencies seeing it differently. Probably with the knowledge Geale will need to dominate Cotto to expect a points victory.

    That's why they are rich, many picking Geale on here because they don't like Cotto, betting agencies only care about making money they understand that Geale is a bum :good

    Didn't Geale just wipe the floor 119-109 or something with your hero like two years ago? You think you would have more respect for him than anyone on here.

    You're Australian; you should know better. Geale resume is solid, even if everything he does in the ring has been visibly slowed/weakened, or just less mental confidence to move with authority, over time (noticed first in the Barker fight).

    I live in Australia, not born there.
    Geales resume is weak, past his prime Mundine, past prime Sturm the rest are nobodies.
    Geale is a bum.

    Geale made Mundine look very ordinary. He has a solid resume and apart from being stopped by GGG, who KO's nearly everybody, has never been stopped.

    Geale should give a very good account of himself provided he can make 157 comfortably.

    Ooh. Harsh. I'd hate to see how little value you put into Mundines' resume.

    I'm a huge fan of Cotto but I think this could be a potential banana skin. There are so many different ways I can see this fight going, I can't give an outright prediction.

    If Geale is not too weakened by the drainage it could be a solid fight. In fact, all things equal I favor Geale as he is a better fighter than Austin Trout....LOL

    Cotto late stoppage. I think Geale's body is going to get beat down and due to him struggling to make weight, it doesn't bode well for him.

    Cotto on points, Geale has no power and no way judges will spoil Cotto-Canelo.

    Sulaiman would off himself if Geale were to win.

    I am starting to lean this way. I can see Cotto's body work paying dividends around round 8 and Geale sucking wind, dropping his hands and getting caught by something.

    Changing my prediction... Cotto by TKO around round 9 or 10.
