Golovkin vs Geale might steal the show.

[Silkeyjoe]

For a common opponent, Ghanaian Osumanu Adama was butchered by GGG IN February. However, Osumanu went the distance with Geale in a UD loss March 2012 (one judge even had it 115-113).

That 115-113 card was a shocking scorecard though. Geale was very comfortable the whole fight.

Your or I can talk up Geale all you want but he's going to take a beating,! I see it being a one sided
fight GGG hitting him at will, Geale gets hit and Golovkin is not the type of fighter to get hit by.!
There is nobody in the middle weight division, to push GGG lets be honest and not kid ourselves
he's Liverpool against your local pub side.

Geale has never been, and is never going to be, a guy who lands on the p4p lists of fight fans, but he's a good, solid workmanlike, former belt holder and top 5 or 6 middleweight. If GGG is special like many people think he is, he should beat Geale convincingly. On the other hand, Geale has underrated lateral movement and GGG's supposed weakness is against movers. He also knows how to punch to the body and, although he isn't the biggest puncher, packs a half-way decent wallop. I'm probably most looking forward to this fight to see GGG in action again after his hiatus as a result of his father passing away. Geale ranks a tad bit higher than Macklin for me. If heat beats Geale, it's one more step to cleaning out the division. Top Rank and Golden Boy won't let Cotto or Canelo anywhere near GGG so at some point, if he wants the big fight, he'll need to take a risky one at the weight class above.

He's too old to be cleaning out a dead division.

Nobody cares about this fight.

At GG's age the last thing he needs to be doing is wasting his time on a top 5 or 6 middleweight.
Dude is not a spring chicken..especially when you throw in over 300 amateur bouts.

Beating Geale means absolutely nothing...especially after the way Cotto anihilated Sergio.

Cotto in one fight has beaten better comp than GG.

Geale isnt shit, so if GGG does the business hes not bad! will be a good fight for sure

[Hulk]

This is the main event on the card and features GGG who has been pushed very hard by HBO.


It is supposed to steal the show. It is the show.


Geale is tough and wily, but not terribly hard to hit. Like everyone else, I see a mid to late stoppage. Probably mid.

You're right...Geale ain't shit.

It's high time GG took some risks and challenges himself.

Geale is about as risky as going to the mail box.

This fight coming off Adama is not the right move for a 32 y/o 8 year pro..
He's not doing himself any favors wasting his time with all these soft touches.

[Spicoli]

Its a decent enough match and opponent and its one HBO approved that will get Golovkin fights off the Amber list and increase the visibility. Enough of that backroom elite audience glamorized sparring match stuff like last out. Geale can touch Golovkin early, knows how to dig a liver and do some work but he'll collect damage all the while and be forced to stand, he is tough mentally, but it'll be too much. The bar has been set high for Golovkin and he'll be beating a 'world ranked' fighter and one people are familiar with. Respect to Geale, but this is only about 'whats next' for Golovkin. Golovkins detractors will always find a fault but this is a step in the right direction by far.

Who is he going to fight, Canelo , Jr , Sergio, Cotto, he will wipe the floor with the 4 of them, if
I managed them 4 guy I would give GGG, a miss, may I ask you do you come from the 3rd Rock
from the sun.

Why aren't you a fan of GGG?

Who would you like to see him face?

I'm missing the connection between Cotto beating Sergio and GGG fighting Geale. Are you suggesting that GGG should face Cotto? If so, I completely agree--I'm just not sure Cotto's team will let him take the fight.
