    If there was ever a live Fox Sports card to tune into this year, this card appears to be it boys.

    The main event pits undefeated Australian IBO Middleweight Champ Daniel Geale (18-0 12ko) WBC#17, WBO#12, in his 1st IBO Title defense against Serbian born, but England based Geard Ajetovic (16-1-1 8ko).
    Should be a great night as Dan Geale continues his climb into the Top 15 in the world at Middleweight.

    The undercard is an impressive one too.
    In a 10 round bout for the Australian Light Middleweight Title, we will see Frank LoPorto in with Peter Mitrevski Jr.
    Both guys have had their ups & downs in recent times, & i expect an exciting bout to eventuate.

    In an 8 round bout at Super Featherweight, one of Australia's brightest prospects Billy Dib (19-0 10ko) WBC#17, IBF #13, will take a keep busy fight with the very tough Filipino Rey Anton Olarte, who had a draw last time out with undefeated Aussie Steven Wills.

    At Light Middleweight, we will see the return to action of Robert Medley (19-2 13ko), who seems to beat everyone, expect with the name Isaac Hlatswayo. It will be over 6 rounds & his opponent is Indonesian Welterweight Champ Ade Alfons.

    Undefeated Aussie Lightweight Steven Wills (6-0-2 3ko) will in action with young Filipino Leon Maratas who has undefeated up until this year. Over 4 rounds at Lightweight.

    Lastly, Steve Casserley with the perfect record (1-0 1ko) will take on debutant Damien Lawler, again in a 6 rounder at Light Middleweight.

    Nice card for sure mate.

    I havent seen any vids of the guy Geale is fighting. Looks short but strong, with a decent record.

    Is the guy Medley is fighting any good? And can Medley take his bel
    t home?

    Nah Medley cant fight for his Indonesian title.
    Medley aint an Indonesian Citizen.:lol:
    Alfons is a solid opponent for a comeback fight after losing to Hlatswayo for the 2nd time.
    Should go a few rounds at least he seems quite durable.

    Should be a great night nonetheless Marcus, i just hope the Grange head a different direction with Medley now.
    It would be great to see matchups with Emmanuel Augustus & Chad Bennett before its too late.

    Ajetovic is a decent opponent, but we all know Geale has much bigger plans down the road. I expect Geale to dominate & look very strong.

    1 thing a top Aussie trainer told me, was that he couldnt believe how big a Middleweight Geale is live compared to watching on TV.

    Medley should fight someone not fitting the same mould as always. Short and slow. But i still believe in Robbie, and he will get another chance soon enough.

    Geale must have changed, i havent stood next to him for about 2 years, he never seams much bigger than me and im always under 70kg and same hight.

    I like how Dan seamed to have more anger in the Dawson fight, i think he needs that to keep building pressure to get more respect in the ring.

    Yeah u make some good points with Medley.
    Hopefully Grange team can get him some different awkward types of opponents to change it up a bit.
    Emmanuel Augustus would be great bout, but i dont think it will happen.

    Geale's time has come to really raise that bar & the Grange team have some big names interested if things can keep going to plan.

    I know FOX are very keen on having the new blood headline their shows, Geale & Kickett being at the forefront of this.

    Yeah, two weeks for each bet is what we all were thinking.

    Im surprised how nobody really has said much to me about it.

    People most likely think i just hate Mundine......... they might be right :deal .

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Geale’s manager Bill Treacy said, "Daniel is ready to step up a level. He has been sensational in sparring sessions with Sakio Bika who won the Contender series. They have boxed wars at the Grange Gym. In Geale’s last fight he won every round against world rated Daniel Dawson who was unbeaten in 29 fights. That showed he was something special. We have had talks with WBA super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine’s management about a possible Geale vs Mundine bout at middleweight poundage. Mundine has said he will fight in future at middleweight and there is no other Australian who could test him like Daniel Geale. After the bout with Ajetovic we will continue the talks and hopefully get this fight on. I am also interested in Geale challenging IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham and WBA champion Felix Sturm. Geale has the skills to defeat both of these major body champions.” [/FONT]

    Dammmmmmmm, big things planned for Geale!!!

    Id love to see him fight Choc, but maybe not next fight. If he fought Sterm then defended against Choc??? wow that would be ****ing great!!!
