    I may be insane, I may be totally wrong and if I am I will gladly admit it, because I'm not as neurotic about my guy losing as most of you guys.
    Although I rarely pick a loser.

    Geale I think will pull off the upset, he's being very underrated going into this fight. He has never been KO'd, rarely have I ever seen him hurt. I think he is just slippery enough to survive and pull a close points decision.

    Geale doesn't take many flush shots he's good at slipping and rolling with punches, GGG does not have 1 punch KO power, how many flush shots did Stevens just stand in the pocket and take without going down same goes for Rosado (I know he was sick).
    Ouma, Stevens, Rosado, Macklin have all been stopped before, and many of his other unknown opponents had been previously KO'd. The only good opponent I've seen him cleanly KTFO was Ishida, which mainly happened because of Ishida's recklessness. He's never KO'd someone who has proven great chin.

    Geale obviously lost to Barker, but that I believe has alot to do with the fact that he was on US tv for the first time and he wanted to put on a show, he didn't respect Barker's punching power, and easily took his shots and that carelessness caused him to be outpointed nothing more, it was a close fight.
    I highly doubt he will make the same mistake with GGG, he will be very cautious and may be able to pull off an awkward, ugly, frustrating Herrera Algieri like performance the night of the fight.

    It took 293 punches for GGG to stop Stevens.
    It took 208 punches for GGG to stop Rosado.
    It took 128 punches for GGG to stop Adama.

    Geale went to war with Barker throwing caution to the wind yet
    Barker only landed 292 punches out of 862. That's pretty good at slipping punches at close range in a war.
    Geale if very cautious and having anywhere near the chin of Stevens, I believe may be able to survive and get the upset. Depending on how many shots he can land on GGG, which is questionable.
    Its a risky pick, but thankfully I'm not risk adverse, crazy **** happens in boxing.

    Okay now beat the **** out of me.

    Only problem with this is that Geale is a glass jawed bum
    He lost to Darren the bum Barker
    went life & death with bums like Sylvester & Adama
    got his ass handed to him by a 35 year old Mundine
    got a gift against Sturm

    Geale has been dropped and hurt many times by Australian domestic level bums, Golovkin is going to mop the floor with him.

    I predict an early KO by Golovkin, but I do agree with you, Geale is a threat

    Making a pick is one thing, being an ******* about it is another.
    There's nothing wrong with backing your fighter or picking who you think will win the fight.

    First of all ggg does have one punch knock out power

    Two macklin is very durable, he only got stopped early in his career when he was very young when he got thrown in the deep end against a good fighter in Jamie Moore and that was more to do with exhaustion than durability

    He got stopped by Martinez but it was a healthy and near prime Martinez and again he took a hell of a lot of shot and turned played a role in that stoppage to

    Ironically when I wrote that I had you in mind, because I expected you to be a ******* like you always are.

    I'm not picking Geale because he's my guy, I like them both I just have a gut feeling that is usually never wrong.

    I wasn't even insulting you, spastic.
    You made a pick based on who you think will win the fight. You weren't an ******* about it. I said there's nothing wrong with that. You think Geale wins. Fair enough. I don't think Geale makes it past the 8th round.

    I've never been an ******* to you before.
    Here goes:
    Why don't you climb up a wall of dicks and eat your way back down...*******.:lol:

    "usually + never" :huh

    Geale is a good boxer and has a good work rate. And we've seen GGG mostly outboxed by Ouma before GGG stopped him (who had not been stopped in 12 years). So your prediction is not unreasonable, in my opinion. But Geale is not a pure boxer and will trade. And who will land the cleaner, more effective shots in this fight? Who has the most realistic chance of ending the fight early? In my opinion, that would have to be GGG.

    Well sorry Ol' Bub,:hi: but you do you have admit your GGG's top attack dog, and you get far too worked up if you even think anybody has come close to insulting your boy, so yeah you have a tendency to be an ******* in general, maybe not to me.

    Please don't make dick jokes, because your far too easy a target with your very touching love affair with all things GGG.
