I've watched most of GGG's fights and he fights like Kostya Tszyu and Mikkel Kessler, they both love to fight on the front foot by cutting off the ring so they can throw their power punches. But when Tszyu fought Hatton, Hattons team had a very good game plan and they executed their game plan perfectly and Geale has to do the same thing with GGG. For Hatton to avoid Kostya Tszyo's power punches he rough housed him, even was a little dirty but not too illegal and put Kostya on the back foot not allowing Tszyu to get his power shots off. What Hatton did was slip and move, digging in with body shots, slipping punches and putting Kostya in unfamiliar territory and Geale has to do this with GGG. Even when Joe Calzaghe fought Kessler Joe saw that Kessler could not fight on the back foot because when Kessler fought Mundine when ever Mundine put Kessler on the back foot Kessler was in no mans land and didn't know what to do and Calzaghe's team new this and they won a tough fight against Kessler just like Hatton did with Tszyo. I believe that Geale is GGG's hardest test yet and they are right because he has beaten a three time world champion in Mundine who has controlled Australian boxing for the last decade AND PLUS was very unlucky! in losing his belt in a controversial decision to Barker when he put him on the canvas with a body shot. I believe if Geale can use the same tactics as Hatton and Joe Calzaghe by slipping punches, using the his fast jab and combinations that he has developed over the years to put GGG on the back and in uncharted territory, I believe he can put GGG off his game. If Geale uses this strategy he could eek out a very tough decision victory tomorrow. I saw the preview with Geale and GGG and Geale said that GGG must be prepared for 12 hard rounds which is perfect for any Australian fan! I just hope that the Geale camp thinks the same way as I do! they might, I don't know! but if team Geale have the same game plan as what I have said by putting GGG on the back foot putting GGG in unfamiliar territory using Hattons's and Joe Calzaghe game plan and using the skills that he has learned by facing and conquering Australia's best in Mundine by avoiding his jab and power shots, I think he can do the same with GGG, by putting him on the back foot. I honestly believe Geale can win a tough decision victory. Geale you have my full support bro win or lose, but I know you want to prove everybody wrong in beating GGG and I think you can! Good Luck bro! Make Australia proud win or lose. Everyone has an opinion so I'm not trying to be a dickhead. What does the rest of the forum think?
maybe not, but look at his last half a dozen fights and you'd be hard pushed to find a MW with a stronger resume golovkin needs this win in his resume, but if geale is going to have any chance he'll need to fight a lot smarter and with a lot more composure early than he did against Darren barker
Didn't read it entirely, but I think I got the cliffs notes. Reason why Geale has almost zero chance to win is because. a) He doesn't have enough power to keep Golovkin off him. b) He doesn't have the punch resistance to take Golovkin's punches for 12 rounds. c) If he somehow manages to do what other "never been stopped, never been down" opponents failed to do (make it past 10 rounds). He will get clearly outboxed like he was in the ams. d) If he actually shocks the world and can keep up with GGG, and make it a close fight, do you really think he'll get the nod, being the defensive fighter and against the new HBO superstar in the making? :blood His only chance of winning is to clearly outbox, drop or stop Golovkin. And he doesn't seem capable of doing that.
