Seriously what going on with Geale? Is he going to have another fight this year or is he still sooking after getting flogged by Barker?
He says he's fighting in December. Then he hopes Barker beats Sturm and wants a rematch in March 2014. Type Daniel Geale v Darren Barker rematch possible for March 2014 into google. The article is at AUS-BOXING. If Sturm wins Barker has a rematch clause to fight Sturm March 2014 in England. If Sturm wins or Barker wins and doesn't want to rematch Geale will have to earn another mandatory. Maybe fight Soliman who still holds his #1 ranking despite his drug ban.
If Sturm beats Barker (I think he will) then he might want to set the record straight with Geale. Realistically this is Geales only hope of getting back in the 'big time'. Be a disgrace if Sturm forced to fight Barker a second time.....
Me thinks Geale is facked , If his handlers did'nt have a rematch clause , alls i can say is WHAT A FACK UP , First thing that should of been thrashed out was the rematch clause , thrashed out and rock solid , Then it would be nice and simple , that would be his next fight or a expensive pull out for Barker, not to do that is nothing short of INCOMPITANCE . Where to now , Barker , Its not happenning , if Sturm wins , Sam is mandatory , if Barker wins Sam is mandatory ,, so its obvious its got to be Sam and grab the num 1 spot . But after refusing Sam a shot , its highly unlikely that Sam will now risk his number 1 spot , with Geale . Incompetence at its best .
If Sturm wins Barker has an immediate rematch clause with Sturm and the rematch will be in great Britain. Sam risked his number 1 spot to fight Sturm in Germany I am sure if Geale gives him a nice pay day he would risk it again. You are right about Geale not having a rematch clause with Barker though. Geale was overconfident and looking past Darren. Bad mistake.

Geale was overconfident and looking past Darren. Bad mistake. It Was a big mistake indeed . Sam i would imagine would of been getting good dollars to fight Sturm in Germany , i doubt very much Geale could raise the dollars , to pay Sam enough to risk his number 1 spot for the fight here in Aust ,Just like Geale would'nt put his title on the line for Sam . GEALE IS JUST PLAIN OUT AND OUT BORING , and unfotunatly even here he just will not get the backing needed , You get the feeling with Geale that he has made a good carreer out of fighting division 2 fighters .
If Sturm beats Barker there is an immediate rematch clause for a rematch in England. So if Sturm wins he rematches Barker in the U.K. Why is it a disgrace to have a rematch clause in your contract? Most do it, it's smart business. Geales management stuffed up by not having one.
whats wrong with them? it gives the other fighter who was defeated a chance to avenge a loss if it was a close fight, the winner can just run off into the sunset with the title but if there is a rematch clause it forces the guy to give him a chance to avenge the loss. If the guy gets the **** beat out of him then clearly he wont initiate the rematch clause unless he is a greedy fckbag like Soliman and just wants more money. Green v Tarver had a rematch clause but Greeny didn't want another beating so he didn't initiate it. Then you have the RJJ fight, Green wouldn't let RJJ Initiate it and got taken to court over it so he ended up just paying RJJ Out to avoid having to fight him again. Sure they don't work every time but when your dealing with grubs what do you expect, for the most part they do work and they are a safe measure put in place to ensure a fair go. Was a big mistake for Geales people not to include a rematch clause, evident by the position it has now put Geale in today, he is left sitting in limbo.
The answer is good strong regulation by proper governing bodies..NOT "rematch clauses"..let Governing Bodies enforce a rematch in the event of a questionable decision only...other than that??? NO. They are only good for the boxer who has one. What about the other boxer? What about all the OTHER contenders? What are they supposed to do while, let's say, Barker and Geale play "pass the parcel" with the title? Hmmmmm.? What about the fans? How long before they get bored stiff with Geale and Barker? For what it's worth I don't think a rematch clause would have done Geale any good. Barker would just beat him more clearly second time around.
So glad Geale lost it has humbled the arrogant ******* to bad we didn't get to see Golovkin brutalize him.
naa mate, just ask sox, Geale would have destroyed GGG hahahahahaha, which only a crackhead who doesn't follow boxing would believe
Why not go after Rubio n the WBC interim belt? Forget the IBF unless Barker keeps winning... Dosn't Shaw have options after last fight? Rematch Barker mid late 2014, winner faces GGG for unification... (Assuming Sergio has retired) Win, be a unified titlist, lose n least he had a red hot crack.... Dunno, jus my thoughts.....
Rematch clause only applies in the event there's a decision dispute & ordered by title governing body, which in most cases is as good as used dunny paper. World title governing bodies, such as WBC, WBA & IBF don't have set sanction fee. Sanction fee is based on overall % of total purse, so they always favour who will provide them with bigger payday.
