his boxrec stats don't look that good ....most of his fights have been with guys with very very ordinary records any one seen him fight?
Yep seen him a few times...his war with Dawson was the best .......most thought Dawson would win that one....well I did anyway. Geale is tidy and effective without loads of power.....good defence light on his feet with some good speed. Can he beat Mundine.....dont think so as Mundine beats Geale in most departments
I think it will be a very good fight, lets not forget mundine is no spring chicken and 160 is not an easy for him to make.
The Mundine/Taylor fight was a total cruise.. for both men. Clear. Should Geale throw caution to the wind, unleash all his capabilities for 8 rounds, Mundines genuine strength at M/W should be closer to any kind of appraisel... or, a better clarity of his strength. Geale needs to pressure Mundine, and keep the pressure up as he has no chance of a 'wide points' win. I'm starting to think a cocky Mundine will fall inside 8 rounds. This fight is his first test at M/W.. against a seasoned M/W... not the greatest, but a true Middle. Mundine better keep his wits. If so, a sound points win all the way.
I reckon Geale wins this on points, he is more experienced has comparable speed ,great defence and a great boxing brain and no pressure he will be underdog and I think he will thrive.
Tend not to agree.....he will be under "huge pressure".....12,000 people....big PPV.....this win will set him up on the world stage and get him a fight with Sturm....this is the biggest night in his life Mundine is going to be hard to tag as he will hit and run...that creates pressure from the start.
This is Geale's test ..its a massive jump to fight someone like Mundine from the sort of fighters he has been fighting ...even after beating Dawson he hasnt stepped up and is still on the aussie domestic scene ( ironically like Mundine has been recently) , but if u look at Geale's last fight it shows how poor the standard he has been fighting against . I think Geale has great potential , but would of liked him to have a lead in to Choc . Choc will be to fast for mine , and win on points easy . I think Geale has to tag Mundine to win ..Geale is only wining by KO!
id like to see someone preasure mundine like hatton did to kostya. walk him up, bust him up, wear him down. make him quit. fancy, light hitting boxers wont trouble mundog.
