Abraham vs Geale ?!?

Australia’s IBO middleweight champion Daniel Geale (20-0, 12 KOs) could challenge IBF middleweight boss Arthur Abraham (28-0, 23 KOs) in March if negotiations go as planned. Geale, 27 years, trains at the highly respected Grange Gym, which also has world class boxers Lovemore Ndou and light middleweight Robert Medley in its stable.
Geale scored impressive wins over imports Daniel McKinnon (New Zealand) and Geard Ajetovic (England) in 2008 bouts. McKinnon holds a world rating in the WBO super middleweight division. Abraham defeated Raul Marquez in six rounds in his most recent start but delivered his best win by stopping Edison Miranda in four rounds in 2008.
Geale would be the third Australian Abraham has boxed. He outscored Shannan Taylor over twelve rounds and also stopped recent Anthony Mundine opponent Nader Hamdan.
Geale has shown world class form in sparring sessions with the winner of the Contender Series and current IBO super middleweight champion Sakio Bika that had the onlookers at the Grange Gym applauding. He also has boxed world middleweight contender Sam Soliman.
Grange Gym manager Garrie Francisco said, “We are confident that Daniel Geale can cause a major upset and dethrone Arthur Abraham. Daniel is a gentleman outside the ring but inside the ring he is all business and has the skills to defeat the best middleweight in the world.”

Never heard of Geale...at least Abraham stays busy...

ABRAHAM KO's Geale inside 5 rounds.

At least the guy has a badass tattoo.

Sounds like a soft touch. I bet Kessler is pissed that he didn't sign go fight Geale first.

Fairplay. Geale has 20 wins and has yet to lose and has a minor title. In a weak division he surely qualifies for this shot. Fairly unknown quantity on world level so fairplay to Abraham for looking at this. He has to be looking to unify soon though.

I believe Abraham is a top pound for pound fighter that just needs to line up some big fights...I mean the guy has a iron jaw/heart (he basically fought the hard punching Miranda the whole fight with a broken jaw and blood spewing out of his mouth and wouldnt go down or quit), some pop, his defense is like fort knox, and great technique.....What more can you ask for...Geale is a joke...This guy can be something big we just need him to line up some big fights.....I would favor Abraham over Pavlik, Taylor, and Kessler at this point......

Geale is still a bit green for Abraham IMO.

Rip Geale !!!!
