I had Geale 2-3 rounds in front. I also forgot the knockdown which was ruled a slip. Fixed. Many seem to forget, or don't even know, that the IBO ordered another 3 judges to watch the fight and score it. They scored the fight a split decision to Geale.
I'm not denying it was a close fight, I'm saying it was fixed. There was no way Khoder was going to have that fight go in Geales favour. Edit - Perhaps fixed is a bit extreme, lets say team Mandy had angles.
I think from memory I had it 6 rds each and Mundine had one knockdown from memory. A close fight that could been seen either way depending on your view point. Certainly no robbery that you are trying to make out though. Plus the IBO's 3 judges that scored the fight again were they the same judges that scored the fight the first time ? In such a close fight different judges could easily score the fight again to Geale and you could get another set of 3 judges to score again and they could score it again to Mundine. It was that close a fight. Can you see how such a close fight could be scored to Mundine ? I agree he should have rematched Geale and ran away but thats typical Mundine. Geale would definately beat the old Mundine in 2012 though imo.
Im with you on the closeness of the fight, watching live I thought Geale won. Watching it back twice I had Mundine winning both times razor thin. Just can't see how anyone can call the fight a robbery or fixed. I agree the Mundine KD should have been called as such as well but as I said, just can't say the fight was a fix. Mundine should have rematched Geale by now and hopefully will do at some point.
I never said it was a robbery, I said it was fixed. I also edited my post just above to say that fixed is probably a bit extreme. Maybe angles is a better choice of word. Of course I can, but can't you see, given the specious circumstance from team Mandy, that short of Geale KO'ing him, Mandy was going to get the win no matter what.
if she met him here it is slightly different perhaps, i am not sure. i met my missus overseas and we started all of the visa apps from there. she was issued a visa and we came back and got married after, though we didnt have to for her to stay
Fair enough, though what do you call the tape coming off Mandys gloves? It never happened to Mandy prior to this fight. It's common knowledge that it's a This content is protected measure. And it happened 5 times with no penalty whatsoever. Add in the fact that the judges were intimidated. The fight was certainly not 100% ridgy didge, yeh. Measures were in place to gain leverage to team Mandy (outside of the rules). Sounds like a fix to me, maybe not a massive one, but a fix nonetheless.
Sox, Geale was the IBO champ, they were IBO judges, and mandy has never really had a relationaship with the IBO, that is utter bull**** to say it was rigged, choc beat him fair and square! IMO I think Geale was very lucky to get the decision against Sylvester, he barely landed a punch! He may have thrown 100 more punches per round, but every single one just landed on the tight gloves of Sylvester, whenever Sylvester threw the jab you would see Geale's head rock back! Sylvester is ****, and the gulf in talent was obvious to me, Sylvester lost due to lazyness, but his technique and punching power/ability was far better than Geales. Similar when Geale fought Choc. Geale may look busier, but choc landed with way more precision, Choc is so much more accurate, fast, and evasive than Geale they are worlds appart in Talent, hence why Choc won! Laughable for you to suggest Choc has fought cans compared to Geale Geale has one of the worst first 20 fight records I have ever seen, if you compare it to chocs without being a biased **** fanboy, you have no option to admit that Geale has made a living off "Can's" as you call them. He has stepped up against choc and lost B level shot Karmazin and won And B level Shot Sylvester, and barely scrapped by to a split decision. Stop eating dick When and if he ever does something you can praise the lord Geale Or alternatively, keep praising him for doing **** all, but swing some love Choc's way 2, for having done slightly more **** all!
^ If you want to discount Chocs previous titles, Geale is only a Paper Champ, has intentionally dodged the best in the division! (Confirmed turned down deales with Sturm and Martinez last year, and Golovkin) Really, Geale is about 7th best in the MW devision, he would be 8th best if Choc came back to MW
^ Yes, correct, a world champ that couldnt beat choc, and is inferior to Choc., And as soon as Choc feels like going back to middleweight (or if geale ever stops dogging any of the top 5 or so MW) Geale will be back to eating c level domestic soup
