article about Aussies record in Germany.Geale will change that.not long now.

 

Reckon Rocky Mattiolli might have been the last Aussie to win a world title in Germany, and that was a long time ago!

Not many Australian born (Rocky wasn't) have won world titles overseas fullstop.

Jimmy Carrothers and Lionel Rose spring to mind quickly, but there aren't too many.

 

Harding and Peden are the only others that spring to mind

 

Nice read thanks :good

SINCE arriving in Germany 10 days ago it has all gone perfectly for Daniel Geale, the best boxer in Australia that nobody has heard of.
It is time to remedy that. The awareness, not the going.
"Give me a chance," Geale says.

Geale sat in a barber's chair yesterday in Neubrandenburg and the young woman cutting, through her limited English, asked what he was doing in Germany.

"Yes," she told him once he had explained, she had heard of Sebastian Sylvester, whom Geale fights on Sunday for one of the great titles in world sport, the IBF middleweight belt.
"Give me a chance," Geale says.

He left the hairdressers and went across town to the Bethanien Shopping Centre, where a ring had been set up and a few dozen even managed to poke their heads out of their shops to see what the fuss was about.



He climbed into the ring and did a few soft rounds on the pads with trainer Graham Shaw, and standing among the crowd was Sylvester, who was scheduled to train right after. Sylvester's eyes, an icy blue, never left Geale in those few rounds.

When Geale got out of the ring a television cameraman grabbed him, and as Sylvester made his way into the ring he tapped Geale on the back in acknowledgment as he passed.

Geale responded politely, and right there was part of the reason why Geale is fighting for traction in Australia's boxing landscape.

The fake rubbish before the fight, the silly stuff other fighters go on with to hype a fight, have never been part of Geale's game.

It is partly why Geale fights for recognition in Australia, and it frustrates him no end.

He is different from the others, he adds.

"I guess it's a willingness to fight anyone," he says.

"The willingness to get in there and challenge myself and challenge the world."
Geale concedes that the casual fight fan has grown punchdrunk on such claims.
The great majority who follow the fight game don't follow it closely at all, and so they have grown jaded by the continual claims of legitimacy from the likes of Anthony Mundine, to the point they no longer know who or what to trust.
Geale's quandary is how to set himself apart.

"Not all of them," he says, "but there are fighters out there that are happy to take easier fights.

"But we're out there pushing for the big fights.

"We're not about dodging anybody, we've never been about dodging anybody.
"I'm willing to fight those guys, whereas they're not willing to fight those guys.
"I guess, if only the public could see some of the international fights, some of the fights in the US, they would see that boxing is at a much higher level than what they're used to.

"I don't have any intention of winning the IBF title and then going back and fighting the 10th, 15th, 20th ranked fighters in the world."
He wants to take boxing to where it hasn't been in Australia since Kostya Tszyu last fought, six years ago.

When the very best fought the best.

 

Carn Gealey! **** him up!!!!
