    If it goes the distance Geale will inevitably be robbed (such is the case with Sylvester) but I think he'll do everything in his will to stop Sylvester who is undoubtedly the inferior fighter and he will succeed. Geale late TKO, a victory for Geale and a victory for the sport of boxing.

    Add much as I think Sylvester is the weakest champion today all in all he did look a bet better last time he fought. Sylvester by if 116-112

    It's either a Sly decision, or a Geale stoppage IMO. Hard to pick between the 2. If I had a gun to my head, I would probably say Sylvester by close decision.

    This reminds me a bit of Huck vs Lebedev. A hometown fighter going up against a big puncher, where the most likely outcomes are a decision for the home guy (and arguably better boxer), or a KO for the puncher. I think that Sylvester, like Huck, will manage to stay out of harms way long enough to last the distance and get a decision, though not without the odd hairy moment here and there.

    It'll certainly be sly if it goes to a decision alright. ;)

    I certainly am. You should try the oysters here. They're to die for.

    Geale by TKO in the 11th. Wouldn't be so sure of him been robbed either if it does go to the cards. Gary Shaw is Geale's main promoter for this 1 and he is heading over to Germany shortly to link up with Geale and the rest of the team. Shaw is wary of Sauerland and a stubborn ******* too is Shaw who has enough clout to make sure his man doesn't get robbed if he does clearly win.

    You must not of watched much of Geale. He is clearly the better pure boxer of the 2 and if anything i think Sylvester packs more of a punch than Geale especially to the body but i don't think he will get to him. Geale will set a pace that Sylvester won't be able to live with.

    I think they are very close in terms of boxing skill. Even if Geale is the better boxer, I don't think Sylvester will allow himself to be clearly outboxed. Sebastian is good at setting his own tempo. I'm not saying that Sylvester will definetely outbox Geale, because it wouldn't surprise me if Geale outboxed Sylvester, I'm just saying that I think they are on a similar level, and that Sly's ability to fight at his own tempo in cagey affairs will probably keep the fight close enough to get his own way on the scorecards. Although Geale finding a way to set his own frenetic place is, like you said, not out of the question.

    Geale is gonna win it. KO or on points. He's by far the best fighter Sylvester will defend his title against.

    Geale is a good bet in this one...... He'll be challenging Martinez in a bout 3 fights time.

    Geale could very well have a glass jaw and Sylvester is the hardest hitter hes faced so far.
    I for one wouldn´t be surpised if Sylvester knocks Geale out

    Hardest hitter he has faced?, he dropps sakio bika in training often and takes his bombs when he has no head gear on.
