Geale needs a winnable, confidence building fight against an opponent with a reasonable ranking. Fletcher looks like he's that man.
Looks like Geale has gone back to his cherry picking ways, Fletcher has a glass jaw Geale should be able to stop him in the later rounds. I see this fight is for the IBF Pan Pacific title, looks like Geale is trying to climb back up the IBF ratings. I wonder if he will fight Soliman after this, that's if Soliman recovers from his supposed knee injury, as I imagine Soliman would stay ranked in the top 10 by the IBF.
Im a massive Geale nuthugger but this will not be huge in lowercase letters let alone in capital letters with exclamation marks. It's a good fight between 2 good fighters coming off bad losses.
Noted, agreed and edited by opening post accordingly. Should be 'a decent scrap' that i may watch if I dont have anything better on
Fletcher's ability to get this fight is solely off his fight with Jacobs, which gave him mainstream attention. Geale is probably a better boxer than Jacobs, so you would have to rate Fletcher a wide underdog in this one. I agree on the damaged goods angle.
Unfortunately it will be and the hypocrites at Grange who bagged footy players for making a mockery of boxing will once again be relying heavily on Paul Gallen to increase PPV sales and to fill out the arena with all his NRL buddies and footy fans as Geale v Fletcher on its own would be lucky to sell out the Cube in Campbelltown.
By Aussie standards it's a pretty good card and now it looks like carr vs Quinlan will be added also. I think Geale is damaged goods after the GGG fight. I think fletcher wins a close decision
