Jun Paderna UD over Anaba.

[ozziebattler]

Im going Geale by 8th round stoppage.Accumulation of constant accurate punches to break Dawson's to pieces.

Geale seems to be a good talent with the skills and attitude to go far in the fightgame.

The one thing about the bloke which is unfortunate is that hey doesnt seem to have that x factor behind the mike or when speaking that would help create a buzz about the bloke.

I know all that matters in the longrun is the fists doing the talking,but the bigger the mouth and buzz one can create the bigger the paychecks.

You know your struggling when you got Fenech doing all the talking.

Good luck to the lad anyway,hope he takes care of Dawson then maybe take care of SHANNON THE GRUB TAYLOR???

[westside]

GEALE UD

I hope so. He's a top lad.

Starting very soon.5mins.

Should be good.:bbb

[ozziebattler]

Geale has won the first 2 rounds with slick movement and connecting with punches in bunches.

Good bout.

Dawson looking very stiff at the moment.

[The Jackal]

carn't make up my mind.

Whats round is it?...whats going on?

[WhataRock]

Up to the 7th now.

Geale looking good but cut and marked.

Id say he would be ahead, but Dawson is very competitive, could be closer than the announcers reckon.

Thanks for the update mate...do you think it will go the distance..or will dawson stop him?

[Achilles]

I agree. Dawson did a lot of good body work early that the commentator's haven't been giving him credit for and took most of Geale's shot on the gloves. And it seems to me that Geale is slowing down a bit now.

What round is it now?

[Achilles]

Looks to be going the distance unless Geale continues to slow down and Daniel pulls a big shot out. But Geale's defence is solid and I can't see it happening at the moment.

Who do you think is ahead and what round is it?

[Achilles]

Geale is ahead but Dawson is closing the gap.

[crash]

sounds like a *******

[ashley]

Geale is ahead but Dawson is closing the gap.

How many rounds left?

[WhataRock]

Good fight, not dramatic but just quality.

Last 3 rounds have been heaps close, Dawson could be wearing him down but Geale is outscoring him, he is happy to land a slap or a light punch, just as long as he is the one landing it.
Solid work from the Tasmanian, he should be ahead on the cards.

[crash]

is fenech in geales corner?

[Achilles]

Three rounds to go.

Geale was also cut by a punch over his left eye in about round 4/5 but it hasn't been a problem.

[WhataRock]

Up to the 11th. Dawson looking a bit bemused and frustrated. Geale on his bike a little more.

Should be an exciting last two rounds.

[crash]

thanks for the updats what a rock

[Achilles]

Maybe 6/7 rounds to 4/3 in favour of Geale if the judges agree with Soliman/Briggs. If Dawson comes home strong in the last two it will be tight.

[crash]

and the winner and still undefeated

Sounds like a good fight guys...thanks for the update and keep us posted :good

[WhataRock]

11th close, Geale outlanded him, starting the round real well but Dawson came on strong late, mostly ineffective but had Geale on the defensive.

Expect the Rock to come out firing in the last round, Geale is surely well ahead, he should just play it safe.

[crash]

pretty tough kid this dawson from all accounts,just keeps coming,

[crash]

hows geales power looking,is he known as a big hitter?

[ashley]

Must be over......who won guys?

[WhataRock]

Awesome last round.
Dawson tried but was buggered, Geale unloading on him toward the end but Dawson took them all, almost looked like he stuck his chin out and let Geale hit him.

I had it to Geale 118-110 (added them up wrong at first), but tough and gritty at times for him, as I stated Daniel Dawson isnt a true "boxer" but he showed again tonight he is an amazing "fighter". Geale clearly won the boxing match but it wasnt all one way overall.
Dan Geale showed great skills, amazing fitness and a good chin, but especially a very good D to protect that chin.

Marcus bring on my punishment.

[Achilles]

Geale by a near shut out on points! But it one of those fights where Dawson never looked hurt or troubled and Geale got cut and marked up but out boxed Dawson.

[crash]

sounds like an excellent fight,both boys should be proud,2 aussies at there best fighting each other,great

[T.C.W]

I was very impressed with Geale tonight he looked great and if he fights talyor he will win easy.

[WhataRock]

hows geales power looking,is he known as a big hitter?

It was enough to keep Dawson off him and certainly kept him discouraged .Geale it appeared had a plan to box him with quick combos and not load up heaps, so his power was never really on display tonight.

His jab had Dawson's head snapping back a few times, that looked excellent.

[WhataRock]

I was very impressed with Geale tonight he looked great and if he fights talyor he will win easy.

That would be a good fight for him to take, a good career bulider.

Im not sure why but I think thats still a tough fight for him, with a minor element of danger but in all honestly, based on tonights effort, he should stop Taylor late because Geale kept the pace up all night long.

[crash]

thanks for info rock,,and which taylor are you talking about,shannon,jermain?

[maco_187]

Props to daniel geale, won me over as a fan, very good fight and after that performance deserves nothing but respect, dawson didnt look taht intimidating as i thought he would and didnt really have much sting on his punches tonight i dont feel, he just looked abit down then what i expected him, however this is mostly to do with geale outboxing him clearly and purely you can not state how great he boxed without seeing it.... i will now have 3 months of hideous avatars to prove it.....

[T.C.W]

thanks for info rock,,and which taylor are you talking about,shannon,jermain?shannon

[crash]

shannon,ok,he was one of my fav fighters for a few yrs there in the 90s,but geale will beat him,shannon still one tough fuker though

[shiner]

geale was very good to say the least. dawson over rated as expected.

[ozziebattler]

Geale looked extremely classy tonight.Showed solid defence and great composure.Picked his punches to almost perfection.

From the get go Geale looked as if he was 1 step ahead of Dawson.Though have to give credit to Dawson for showing great heart and determination to try get himself in the fight even when copping several combos.

Credit to both fighters in a top class domestic bout.

Now where to for Geale??

Andy Raymond mentioned Shannon Taylor wanting the winner:rofl .

That mug is way on the outside looking in,but go ahead make the fight and let Shannon be embarrassed by a real exciting aussie talent.

Shit im pumped,Geale really impressed me.:bbb

[WhataRock]

Who else though Ozzie?

Shannon makes sense I reckon, then get in the ranked opponants.

[ozziebattler]

Shannon makes sense I reckon, then get in the ranked opponants.

Im not a big fan of Taylor's if you havent already figured that out.:D

But make the fight i quess.

Be the best name on Geale's win list i quess.

Hope Geale gradually makes his way up the ranks,as i think by the end of 08 Geale could push himself in the top 10 forsure.

How old is he again??

[Big Red Meat Axe]

Excellent fight tonight. I've got to admit that i get a chubby over top class domestic boxing such as this.

Geale showed his class while Dawson showed he had heart and determination to burn.

Top night.

[ozziebattler]

I've got to admit that i get a chubby over top class domestic boxing such as this.


Top night.

I did from Geales performance tonight...

Then i thought of Les Manboobs Mason.

Shit im a sad cunt im going to bed.

Peace all.:hi:

[chinachin_76]

yes, geale deserved to win the fight, but i had it about 117-112, in my opinion Dawson wasn't given a fair go, you didn't get to hear his speech at the end either. Full credit to Geale though he dominated the fight and didn't let Dawson use his power.

He wasnt given a fair go:?

Someone should of told Geale to layoff with the combos and stiff jab hey:patsch

Your from W.A i gather:|

Will admit it was rough by Fox for cutting Dawson's speech off.He deserved to be payed respect for a courageous showing.

[lefty]

Anybody know if Geale is naturally left-handed?

[westside]

Anybody know if Geale is naturally left-handed?

RIGHT

[Kegsy]

Great win for Dan Geale, very proud for the guy having followed his career since his pro debut.
Whats next tho?? Shannan Taylor maybe.
He beats Taylor by mid to late rounds stoppage i reckon.
I will throw a name out there tho. How about Sam Soliman??
Soliman can easily fight at Middle & was commontating tonight as well.

[lefty]

RIGHT

Are you sure about that? From watching him i would bet good money that he is a lefty fighting as a righty, somebody else must know what i'm talking bout.

[Kegsy]

Are you sure about that? From watching him i would bet good money that he is a lefty fighting as a righty, somebody else must know what i'm talking bout.Yeah i got a bit of that feeling too, based on last night.
I think it may have been more of the style of fight his corner wanted to fight, that made it seem that way.
