Awesome fight that could have gone either way. Was a bit like the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight with Choc landing the harder, cleaner shots against Geale who fought like an Octopus on amphetamines.
I had Gealey by a point. Close close fight huge props to Mundine too...but seriously Barry Michael your a disgrace as a commentator. Why doesnt his suit just have boxa engraved on it already...
not at there level but definately a good fight, that they should take with them and go overseas and test themselves again... mundine aint so dominant anymore ajay... are you barry micheal in disguise?
Calzaghe / Hopkins was a **** fight , Hopkins saw to that with his fighting scared tactics i hope this one was better .
I had Mundine by a point , the knockdown is what gave him the edge. There is an unwritten rule in boxing that the challenger ( Mundine) has to beat the Champ ( Geale) by that little bit extra...but as i mentioned i gave it to Choc. Got a bit of cash for Choc by decision . Believe it or not when i put the bet on I noticed the draw paying $31 and thought about chucking a lazy ten on ...in the end i didnt...wasnt i a bit nervous at the end there.... Mundine really has no excuse now than go over and get Pavlich or Sturm ....coz if he doesnt he gotta rematch Geale ...heck he gave Soliman 3 chances.. Top fight..What a war , best Oz fight in a long time
Geale has great workrate and stamina, and you could clearly see he was the natural middleweight in there. He definitely looked strong and would have out-landed Mundine. Good fight and it could have gone either way. But I think this fight should pretty much confirm to Choc that he doesn't stand much of a chance against any of the 3 alphabet legitimate world champs. Simply not enough workrate and pop in his punches to trouble any of them.
Mundine was just a level above Geale, it showed through the punches landed. His hardest fight to date. 3 Times bitches deal
Let mundine have a go at the alphabet soup...win, lose or draw this will be my last fight in Australia. As for Geale it is his choice of direction from here?
I'd like to point out I wouldnt like to see a rematch because: This fight wasnt all it was cracked up to be. Sure it was close, and both had reasonable workrates & flashy speed. but owing to their suspect chins, they were both not willing to open up. It was only inthe last round when choc finally decided to open up. Then got tagged for it. A rematch would be more of the same as the fighters would fight the same cautious fight.
**** Westside im gonna keep bringing up that post for years to come when we are watching Mundine v Geale 4 Mundine should move on.
Its hard to say what the best moments of the fight were... Geales intensity was sensational and he's definately earnt massive respects from plenty from that fight. Mundine looked unphased, yet out punched in numbers... A far better match up than I'd have ever assumed. Seeing Mundine pushed and forced for 12 rounds was the best part of the fight IMO. The only ugly side of the fight being the PubicHairChinned, HookBeaked, GoggleEyed Promotor **** laughing all the way to the bank... like he gives a ****... Green might have to sit back and wait now.... a rematch of this bout would be worth its credits. A far more entertaining fight in comparison to Mundine/Green I. Enjoyed the fight plenty.
Hey flame....sorry mate had to turn my phone off as we were running 30 mins behind the fight.....2 many beers and had to stop for the BBQ. :yep Great fight well done to Geale.....I thought Mundine hurt Geale several times but Geales work rate was great....all in all great fight.
