Guys, its hard to imagine Geale not taking this oportunity to give Mundine as much trouble as possible. KJust how much trouble Geale can muster up is hard to concieve. Mundine always has an answer... in 90% of his bouts anyway. He looked average against Taylor, only due to his limited SERIOUS efforts. He appeared comfaortable going the rounds, and may have picked Taylor for the sake of getting rounds into his legs. Simply, a conditioning fight. Geale, should he attempt to KO Mundine, may well give Mundine some anxious moments. If Geale legitimately mixes it, or forces the fight, Mundine might have to use every ounce to STOP him. This fight still makes the mind wonder.. 1. Why the hell would Geale take the fight??? He is obviously confident... Great step for him, and full praises to Geale for accepting the bout. 2. If he loses shockingly, he will be in the backwaters of the M/W division.... alas, a great performance will open some eyes. 3. If Geale wins.... big IF IMO, will he take the thrown, and take the 'bigger' fights made available to him, unlike Mundine over the last 12 months?? This fight does carry a lot of weight... positives and negatives. Mundine may destroy a potentiallly fantastic 'Geale' career, yet, Daniel has accepted the bout. Best of luck to Daniel for giving himself a shot, and the Aust. public the chance to witness a courageous kid with stars in his eyes. Mundine, if to win, should take heed of Daniels attempts, and show some creditable form in the future.
Yea i bag Mundine for fighting blokes way below the level he shoud be fighting at and the hype surrounding this fight proves im right in doing so , Young Geale is a decent fighter from the little ive seen of him but really ? Would Mundine still be fighting @ this level ( Domestic ) IF he didnt know the game was up ? Look for Mundine to beat Geale then Challenge Sturm then quit ,Mundine might be as thick as a paperboys scarf but he ain't stupid .
If Mundine wins and challenges Sturm, hopefully the fight goes ahead.... If Geale wins, I imagine he'd have the willingness to face anyone, anywhere, anytime for any legitimate Title.... something thats been missing in Mundine. ...... looking forward to the bout more and more. Starting to hope Geale prevails also, for the sake of some reasonable defenses/ challenges being made.
Mundine won't destroy a potentially fantastic career for Geale.. u want to know why??? Because if Geale can't beat a soon to be 34yr old past his best contender in Mundine, then there was no promising career in the first place. If Geale is any good, this fight makes sense,otherwise it wasn't mean't to be at the top level.
Geale, 20-0 atm, has atleast 5 good years of boxing left. 18 months of that, to earn his respects on a world scale. This fight is a MUST win..... for both men. No man achives 20-0, without risks. Geale is a man in the making, a good performer on the brink of BIGGER things. Mundine is a man with the world at his feet, yet he dances on the 'National' dance floor. He's wasting his own time, plus the time of us fight fans... You cant dismiss his ability, just become frustrated at the 'circus'... Hopefully Geale makes a clown out of him.
Congrats on winning the Rugby Sevens world Cup, I sadly watched the entire thing and witnessed boilover after boilover. It was a good thing to see imo
Thanks mate and congrats on Mundine fighting a live opponent things are looking up for both of us aye ? :good
Firstly i would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG thankyou to Ashley for keeping flame lit while i put myself on Mundine ban for a few weeks. Ashley great job mate but its time to take a back seat while im around :yep:good Geale will not win this fight. I've read that Mundine wont be the best that Geale has ever fought :rofl:rofl:rofl Alot of respect must be given to Geale for taking this fight, i compare this to when Mundine fought Ottke. People gave him a chance but in the end he was always going to lose to a undefeated champion who was far beyond him in experience at the time. Geale had some good choices as opponents here in Aust to use a stepping stones to get to Mundine but he has decided to go the full hog. Soliman, Pittman, Taylor are all good fights for him. As for Mundine not being able to KO Geale, please brothers...Mundine has every advantage possible in this fight. If he is on his game and tags Geale easily early in the fight then i expect him to fall before the 12th. Time to put my money where my mouth is :yep I offer my facebook profile pic space for 2 weeks to anyone who thinks Geale will win :deal if i win all you have to do i fly an avatar of my choice here on ESB. There has to be some takers cause there are some that believe he will win. Lock me in as a end of the year Award winner if Geale shocks the world :deal

Glad to see Mundine still has 1 fan left. I don't think many people are predicting a Geale win but just expect him to cause Choc a few problems. I don't agree and think Mundine has much better boxing skills to EASILY win a UD. I agree that Mundine WILL be the best Geale has fought, however as for stopping Geale, your friggin kidding yourself. You obviously didn't see the Taylor fight. Absolutely no pop on his punches WHATSOEVER. His punches were more like slaps. Mundine couldn't crack an egg the way he's been going, and it's quite obvious that what little power he had to begin with is all but completely gone moving down in weight. Teke every opponent Mundine is up against, you say he is getting stopped, and each time you are wrong, . . don't make yourself look like a fool again. Happy to put my money where my mouth is, that is, if you think Geale will be stopped. If you can't knock down, let alone even hurt "D" grade bums and blown up welterweights (e.g Pintos, Taylor) you aint stopping ANY decent contender. Not a chance in hell is this happening.
Geale will win this fight. :deal I agree, Mandy is of course the best he's fought, I don't see how anyone could see that he ain't. :nut I agree that Geale should have first fought the likes of Soliman, Pittman, even Bika. This is a brave and tough move for Geale. :bbb There is not a chance in hell that Mandy can KO Geale though. Refresh your memory and take a look at Mandys last 5 fights, granted Soliman was in that group (though he did KO him only 1 year before), but look at his last 3 fights. There has been a small but definite decline in his performance in every fight since he KO'd Soliman 2 years ago. :tired The way I see it is if journeymen like his 2nd and 3rd last fights can drop him, then it should be a snap for Geale to drop him. Whether that gives him a win, well that's another matter. I'd expect this to be a very hard fight for both guys, as at this stage of their careers, they are very evenly matched. This could go either way, though I'm putting my money where my mouth is and backing Geale for a close UD. :thumbsup I'll take whatever Avatar you can throw at me. :hi:
Look forward to this fight Choc lovers, as this will be as good as it gets for him. I expect Geale to be the best opponent Mundine will face for the rest of his wasted career.
mundine is trained by a dinosaur. his old man has anthony spar hundreds (thousands?) of rounds between each fight. anthony ends up getting hit a lot in sparring, when there is no need to. its just that he ends up so tired. another example is; i noticed anthony wearing jumpers and a garbage bag while sparring.....so i asked khoder if anthony needed to lose weight.."no, his weights fine, he just wants to wear it..".. at the time mundine was sparring some late ring ins. they werent even pros. both over the hill old amatures. mudine was toying with them, but they were getting through....due to his fatigue. anthony is getting old from the way he is trained. he is never fresh and rested. he doesnt work on tactics, new skills, etc. its just hard-slog-sparring. he has had some good input from some good trainers, but they were just pissing in the wind. anthony is trained by a dinosaur. and hes too stupid to know or see any better.
