Anyone else looking forward to this fight? A fight with Geale is by far the toughest defence Sylvester has made yet, and I think Geale beats him. Should be fairly entertaining aswell. How do you see it going?
I think Geale will stop Sylvester, pretty much because he has to. He'll go all out to find that knockout because he won't get the decision against Sylvester. I expect him to outbox Sylvester, if it goes the distance, the result will be a draw or a Sylvester decision.
Hes definetly one of the better middleweights around these days. His only loss was a razor thin decision to Mundine and he has a good stoppoge win over Karmazin, something Sylvester wasnt able to do. Hes good enough to beat Sylvester imo, if everythings fair on the night.
Hope Geale wins, Sylvester is barely top ten at middle, he shouldn't be holding a belt. In the only somewhat meaningful fight he had since being completely outboxed by Sturm (v Karmazin), he only managed to scrape a "draw" thanks to his promotor bullying a judge into changing his scorecard after the fight.
I was at that fight with mundine, who only won because of a kd in the second. Nice as it was, geale should have got the decision. Maybe he will need the ko in germany alright.
Yeah it was a close fight and could've went either way, the KD was the deciding factor..... Also to note it was Mundines best performance since beating Danny Green. I think if you haven't seen the fight download it and take a look, very exciting fight and Geale has improved since they fought as well.
I think Geale will set a pace Sylvester won't be able to live with. I picked Geale by UD but gonna be hard for him over there.
Sylvester isnt as bad as a lot of people make out but Im picking Geale. Sylvesters pretty entertaining compared to other German champs. I think Geale will outwork him though, build an early lead and weather a late storm. Bit like Karmazin-Sylvester except hopefully Geale gets the nod. Karmazin got robbed that night, he won at least 8 rounds clearly.
Geale's win over Karmazin last year was one of the classiest performances I have seen for a while, totally outclassed Karmazin from start to finish. On that performance I would take him to beat any middleweight (except Martinez) hope he can continue to improve because Martinez-Geale would be a great fight for 2012,
