It was more of an impressive loss from Geale than a win for Mundine.
Geale showed heart, aggression and potential in this fight. A change of coaching could carry him further.
Mundine did not seem too powerful at Middleweight, although he did temporarily hurt Geale on a number of occassions.
He called for a fight with Sturm imme3diatly after the fight and on what I saw I'd have to favour Felix Sturm.
Hey Mr Hitmandonny. As always right on the money. Hows your Bub?
Thanks for posting this gest12645 as i thought it was a good fight and gave bit of a drunken RBR on the night. I was hoping Geale would pull off a win as he is a great fighter and seems to be someone who can be good for boxing too. Just with the scoring system it was a decision that could be backed up by the rules. The tape thing would seem trivial and if Geale won the fight on the basis of a point deduction for taping issues then the victory would be hollow. He wouldn't have wanted that either, Geale would have wanted to win the fight fair and square. Not on a technical decision. I agree about the knock down too but it wasn't awarded so it was a bit of bad luck for him. Geale did real well and didn't lose much in losing this fight. The Aussie fans and some real boxing fans abroad have now seen the quality of Daniel Geale as a person and a great fighter and his stocks will rise from that. He is a smart fighter too and after the fight was able to say that he now knows what level he needs to be at to be world class. He stepped up big time for this fight and will probably step up again after this fight as he now knows he can compete at the top.
