Geale V Mundine

[Marshall_magic]

Mundine despite generally fighting hacks is the biggest name in Australian boxing sadly. This fight is win/win for both men though. It gives Mundine a chance to beat a world class opponent and it gives Geale some much deserved exposure. Garth Wood is more well known than Geale because he beat Mundine, yet if the fought Geale would wipe the floor with Garth. I thought Geale was robbed last time and he's improved a lot since then while Mundine has regressed. Mundine will pay the price for ducking the rematch for all those years, if he loses it will just about be it for him in terms of fighting in America.

As for his comments, the reason Mundine is the biggest name in Aus boxing is not because of his talent or background in RL, but it is because he generates controversy. He knows this and knows how to work the media, it amazes me that 12 years on they still eat that crap up.

Honestly ,why has Geale taken this fight ??

Its a step down and is a lose lose situation for him

Wins and people say he he beat an old big mouth,never was nobody .

Lose and his reputation is in tatters honestly

He is taking this fight for the wrong reasons , and lets hope he doesn't fall into the revenge mode

Hope you knock him out cold though Geale (don't want Mundine hurt badly though)

I have zero respect for Mundine. I will admit he is a talented athlete but as a human being, he is pretty dumb. He thinks he's the shizz too, which makes it worse. My fear is one day this dropkick will enter politics because of his high profile and whilst his intentions are usually fair, his execution is usually always shocking. Word vomit is his niche.

For the record i hope Geale destroys Mundine.
BUT…...........

im sick of this widespread misconception that Geale was robbed in their last fight. People hear it said once and because of their dislike of Mundine the thought just grows and grows. The judges cop a bagging but in my opinion anyone who goes around stating that Geale was robbed is the poor judge (or allow personal feelings to cloud their judgement). It was a very good fight and one that if you watched 3 times you could get three different scores. I'd say the knockdown is what got Mundine over the line. For me, i scored it a draw, so without the knockdown Geale wins by 2 points. Now thats a close fight that could go either way so theres no reason at all for all the crap being said the last 3 years about being robbed.

On this fight, Geale will win. By points if Mundine runs and runs, or by stoppage if the Man stands toe to toe.

I watched the fight and believe that Geale won it (just)…has nothing to do with not liking Mundine. If I thought Mundine won I would have no hesitation in saying so. I would guess that a majority of the people who watched the first fight would say that they thought Geale won.

I think you (and few others) have misunderstood me a little. I have no issue with anyone thinking Geale won, thats fair enough. I have an issue with the use of the word "robbed". To me robbed is when there is a clear cut winner that is painfully obvious but the decision goes the other way. This fight was very very close so a decision either way could not be considered robbed.

So to those believing Geale won i AM NOT calling you a poor judge. However if you believe Geale won sooooo clearly and easily that you consider the decision a robbery well then thats when i would use the term poor judge. While most believe Geale won, i think its clear the fight was close and you would agree with that.

Honestly ,why has Geale taken this fight ??

Cash.
Mundine has created a divisive persona.
People that love him will turn up to see him win.
People who hate hime will turn up to cheer if he gets thumped.
He's a drawcard, like it or not.
Geal could bring a worthy challenger over to fight him and it wouldn't draw half the ineterest.
Bums on seats and pay-per-view audience is the bread and butter of their game.

it couldn't be cash,yeah mundine will draw the most cash in Australia but geale has 2 world titles now he don't need to be taking on mundine for a descent payday,names like cotto,Alvarez,mayweather they will give him a far better payday then the loose change he'd get for mundine who in resent years has struggled to beat top Australian fighters.all geale is doin is giving this clown publicity coz he's not good enough now to earn it as geale has done

Did anybody see Mundine's press conference today? He just confirmed himself as THE biggest tool in Australian sport bar none.
Crapping on about changing the Australian flag, the National Anthem and just about everything else.

The worst part about this joke of a human being is that he turned a boxing press conference into a black vs white Australian racial issue. He bangs on about Australia moving forward as one nation regardless of colour yet he creates more devisiveness amongst Indigenous/Non-Indigenous Australians than anybody else- he knows it is the quickest and easiest way to create some controversy and hype.

The more he opens his mouth the more of a fool he looks.

Very rarely does he ever have the courage of his convictions…more often than not he comes out with some outlandish statement and then holds a press conference to try and apologize or make amends for it. Gutless

He knows his time in the spotlight is very nearly coming to an end, then he will fade into obscurity where he belongs.

Daniel Geale brings pride and respect to his Indigenous heritage and people just by the very fact that he keeps his mouth shut and just speaks with actions. He is all class. Very proud to call him one of our own.
Shame you can't really say the same about Anthony "The Hypocrite" Mundine.

All the best Gealey

 

[system]

I think Geale summed it up in that he loves the attention but overstepped a mark and is getting way more response then he was prepared for.

the most shocking thing in everything Anthony has uttered thus far is that he wants one nation to be proud of but then went on to basically state there are levels of aboriginal people and the more diluted the blood the less they deserve.

Very silly

Exactly Smeg, he really is an idiot when it all boils down to it. I mean, Mundine himself would hardly be described as a full-blood I would have thought. (From the small snippet I have seen of his Mum I don't think that she would have 100% Indigenous blood, I may be wrong?).

What about the hangers-on that he had standing behind him at the press conference? It really looks like he is the Messiah to a group of nodding sheep- not to mention Slim Shady standing there in the baseball cap…..I would go as far as to say he was just there to provide a bit of diversity.

Due to the way Chavez Jnr came back and almost knocked out Martinez in their fight not long ago the likelyhood of a rematch between the two is high. Hence i think Geale is taking this fight to see him over until that rematch is done and then go after some really big names like Martinez

On Mundines comments, the bloke is a tool and Geale will knock him out easily, Geale has to much technique for Mundine

 

[tigermaniac]

Just another reason why everybody hates the man.

I understand what your saying Glen , but if he loses he got to climb the ladder again to get the big paydays

Personally ,(and I know he loses the home ground advantage so to speak) he would be better taking a hit with some top ranked overseas boxers , build up his rep even further and then try and get the big names overseas (US and Europe) and get the bucks that way in my opinion

He gains nothing else by fighting Mundine and there are some big risks involved

Apart from being one of the best last rounds I've seen in a while, when Chavez Jnr knocked down Martinez & was very close to knocking him out. Martinez totally dominated that fight & was in a different class. From memory the 37 yr old Martinez nearly landed as many punches as Chavez threw, & threw 400 odd more punches.Geale was ringside & was hoping to fight the winner but with Martinez's age it was never going to eventuate as he will have one, possible two more big money fights. He had been trying to fight Chavez for a while now & is rated one of the best pound for pound boxers at the moment. If there isn't a rematch he could possibly fight Mayweather.That's one of the things I admire about Geale is that he has never dodged a fighter & wants to fight quality opponents & just back's his ability.Not many fighters would of wanted to take on the calibre of Martinez or Chavez & just chosen an easier opponent.I can't remember why Mundine dogged the rematch order by the IBO? after the controversey decision in their last fight but a bit of luck it will be as good as there first bout.

Something very admiral about Geale Happy, just backing his ability & not taking the easy option.Your right he has everything to lose & not much to gain & hopefully Mundine doesn't land a lucky punch & wins the fight.One things for certain, I'd be very surprised if its not the biggest grossing pay tv subscription fight in Australian history, so that's why I'm putting Mundine's behaviour down too over the last couple of days as he know's that it's not Geale's go & he won't promote the fight in the fashion Mundine does.

Geales profile in Australia is still not what it should be….Mundines doing him a massive favour, everyone is jumping on board the Geale bandwagon after what Mundanes been spewing, if he wins his status HERE will recieve a massive boost,....sadly hes been largely ignored for his massive achievments already....it is a gamble, but hes confidnet and should win

 

[weststigers4life]

Mundine rubs people up the wrong way & i'll never forget when i watched him lose to Ottke, 90% of the pub starting cheering once he got knocked out & you would of thought we were in a pub in Germany.Mundine will lift for this fight & he will use the criticism/backlash of him being the bad guy in this fight to motivate himself to stick it up us knocker's. Geale will be driven by redemption from losing the first bout & that Mundine has turned this fight into a political statement so far & not about this fight.

 

[weststigers4life]

Kenny Sutcliffe will be interviewing both fighters tomorrow morning on wide world of sports if anyone's interested.

 

[tits_magee]

Class act Mundine is…bagging Geale because he has a white woman and kids. Is that not racism???? (Mundine is always the first to play the race card whenever it suits himself but also usually the first person to have a hissy-fit when it is directed at him.)
Hope Geale beats the stuffing out of this pretender once and for all.... really busts him up.

Go Dan, you beat him the first time in many people's eyes, this time knock the bludger out so there can be no dodgy decision this time.

Geale is just about the classiest champion that Aussie sport has, hope he continues to dominate and make Aussies proud, unlike Mundane.

I went to the same school as mundine, cleveland st in alexandria and The funny thing is his mum is white . And he goes on about being a proud aboriginal , yet he is a Muslim which has nothing to do with our culture!!

I'll give Mundine credit for coming out today & apologising to Geale in person for what he said about his wife & kids.It was a disgraceful comment but it takes a big man to put your hand up when you've done the wrong thing.Hopefully that's the end of the political statements & the talk/hype is now just on the fight.

The problem with the idiot is that he comes out and apologises for every thing that he says- either say what you believe, be a man and stand by your comments or just don't talk about crap in the first place if you then feel the need to retract your ridiculous statements. He is a moron…firstly the September 11 comments and now this.
As the saying goes "the empty can rattles the most", I'm looking forward to him copping a beating.
