Apparently there is talk of this fight happening next year.
Thoughts?
I think Sam will show Geale up, what happens in the gym sparring is different to what happens on the night.

Good fight for Geale..The King is still far from finished.

Dan's work ethic and skill level is quite competent and I reckon it gets him over the line here. I think his weakness will be his chin when he steps up..This fight will be messy and closely fought..maybe wide differences in the way the judges see it.

I think if Sam fights him like fought Bika in the last fight he will do well, Geale can't punch and Sam has a great chin and will stand his ground more in this one.
I think his experience will show through, this will be his last stint and he will rise to the occasion.

I agree i think Geale will sneak through this fight with a victory.
Geale's punching power is not that strong, but i would have Soliman's just as bad if not worse.

Would be a good for fight for Geale, I think Soliman would really take it to him.

Two great guys and boxers, sounds like a goer...get a good challenging undercard to make a great night of fights and all should be good.

I sam fighting Hamden next year?

I would like to see Geale VS Sam it would be very abusy fight and I dont know who would win as sam can put guys off the game plan with ease.

Good news, Nader-Soliman is a fight I wanted to see but I think for the sake of our talent progressing this is a great barometer for Geale who hasn't beaten anyone on Soliman's level.

Hard to say who wins, Geale likely but I wouldn't put my house on it.

Geale Vs Soliman is set as in set in stone? (Not that anything is in this sport but you know what i mean)

Do you have a specific date/venue?

Soliman is likely to be waaay too busy and tricky for Geale who i see as having nothing to make Sam respect him.

Oh no...if sam wins then we might see Mundine VS Sam 4 :patsch

great news the fight is signed.
its not goin to be easy for Geale, sammy is a hard prick to hit and is proven world class .
but i think if Geale boxers from the outside and has a good gameplan he can win well.Good fight. It's gonna be extremely hard for Geale but he's taking the step. No better way to get at Mundine than to beat a man the man beat a lil while ago.

Trust me brother, Geale would probably pay to be Chocs sparring partner

Marcus

geale has a belt, mundine passed the chance to fight him ......why?

sammy is man enough to take the fight but the man isnt?

also good to see sam go back to 160.

I agree...sam should stay at 160......oh and he will give geale hell

yeah ash, he will. its a good fight, its a really good fight. im pumped for this one!

Didnt think this fight would happen as Sammy said he wouldnt fight Geale as they were really good mates. Spose that has been put aside for 1 last crack.

Good fight either way.

Has anyone seen them sapr? If so, how did it go?

ashley

01-02-2009, 05:15 PM

Geale will have the power...just...and is tidy in attack and defence....sam has the speed and punch from all directions style that will trouble geale...i think sam by points in this one.

Hope the fight goes ahead as its better then Geale continuing to fight cans..

Though i wont pay a cent to watch it..Both guys do very little for me.Especially Soliman who i dont rate what so ever.More so these days.

OB... happy new year bud.

Soliman vs Geale should be worth a look. Sams a cagey guy.. past it.. no longer on the way up, but..... Geale's a bloke who needs to face the likes of Sam... purely for the experience. His patience, chin, stamina, legs, timing, balance and ring craft willl surely be put on show against Soliman.

Sams a fit cookie. Take my word. He never has trouble doing the rounds, loves a scrap..... and has the class to bring out the best in Geale... a nice test in many ways.

Great fight for Geale, taking the next logical step IMO.
Sams not the best, but he's decent and will give Geale a very hard time, but I think Geale has the skill set to take it by UD.

I'll go to this if possible.

Personally id like to see Geale win this fight..Soliman is a graet fighter but Geale to me holds more of a future in Aussie boxing..

geale should win this, sam isnt the puncher to hurt geale and geale has enough offensive power to constantly tag soliman..

ashley

Most people dont rate sam much...however he did give wright a hard fight 4 or so years ago and did well in the contender....i think sam will go well at MW VS Geale.

Go through Solimans record. Have a long, hard look.. He's one of our finest of the last 15 years.

It was in Sydney Morning Herald yesterday that Geale was fighting Abraham in Germany in March?

I wasnt overly impressed by Geales last fight..

Im interested in his next fight, just to see how much
takes out of the last fight..

There is definate scope for improvement there..

Id like to see Geale school an - on the decline - Mundine
in the next couple of years, so hopefully Geale can keep
improving and winning a long the way..

geale has to move through the ranks with a little caution, but build up the quality of the people he fights. Sam is a good test. I think it might be too much of a trest TBH. Good luck to Geale. there is talk of an Abraham match up. that would be too much too fast

Whats the go with our fighters beating up cans whilst claiming dodgy asian pacific etc titles along the way..Then somehow getting world title shots before they have even taken on decent opposition..??

How can geale go from fighting duds at rsl clubs to Abraham??

I see a similar beatdown to Mosely's vicious assault on Shannon Taylor.

Taylor's level of competition is light years ahead of what Geale's is, heading into their first title shot.

im betting geale will opt for a bigger pay day and a bigger bashing in fighting abraham then fighting and loosing to a past his best soliman who ever he fites out of these to imo he will lose

Yeah Taylor did have abit of form going into the Mosley matchup. I don't think he (Taylor) was rushed into that fight at all. He'd been calling out KT for years a had a few decent scalps under his belt.

Pity Mosely was a fkn drug cheat.... EPO...

I have reservations about most of the American top liners.
