Daniel Geale Is The Real Deal!!!

[Kegsy]

Kegsy's Fight Roundup:D

Last night from the West Campbelltown Leagues Club, Tasmanian-born Daniel "Real Deal" Geale remained undefeated in style & also claimed the vacant IBO Middleweight Title in the process, by dismantling tough West Aussie Daniel "The Rock" Dawson over the full 12 round distance. The fight was fought at a solid pace throughout with Geale winning the majority of the early rounds by just his sheer work effort & sticking to his boxing & moving gameplan devised with trainer Jeff Fenech.
Dawson had no answer for this & even tho at times he landed some powerful shots to the body in particular, it was far too rare an occurance. The fight did change tho slightly through the middle rounds when Geale got a cut as result of a Dawson punch. Dawson rallied & probably won a round or 2. Late on in the fight however, Geale steadied & showed a simply exhillarating final round where he had Dawson out on his feet.
The final scorecards of 120-110, 120-110 & 119-109 probably didnt quite reflect just how much of a competitive fight it had been.
Daniel Geale's record moves to 18-0 with 12ko's, while Daniel Dawson falls to 29-1 with 20ko's.

Other results from West Campbelltown included hometown hero Matthew Paulley claiming the Australian Welterweight Title over Eddie "Psycho" Delic. A massive cut opened up on Paulley late in round 7, which led to the bout heading to the scorecards at the completion of that round.
Paulley was up on all 3 cards at that stage, 69-64, 69-64 & 69-66, & as a result claimed the Aussie title gold.

Undefeated prospect King Davidson looked fairly impressive against a game, but clearly outmatched Frank LoPorto. LoPorto seemed to struggle with Davidson's height, reach & awkward southpaw stance. This eventually led to a gash opening up on LoPorto as a result of a headclash early in the 4th round, which meant the fight was again to the scorecards.
Davidson was up 30-27, 30-27 & 29-28 at the time of the cut stoppage & remains undefeated at 3-0 with 2ko's.

In an entertaining bout & a mild upset, Solomon Egberime coming off more than an 18 month layoff was impressive with a highly entertaining unanimous decision win against previously undefeated Samuel Colomban over 6 rounds.
Egberime's movement & speed won him the fight with judges scorecards reading 60-54, 59-55 & 58-56.

In the early bouts, debutant Steve Casserley got off to a perfect start in the pro ranks, with a 4th round stoppage against game Filipino Arnel Balicuatro.
Also Filipino Jun Paderna got back in the winners circle with a shutout unanimous points decision against Eric Anaba, where Anaba suffered a flash knockdown in the opening round.

[Kegsy]

Cheers mate. Glad u liked.

[gold_gloves]

Fuck yeh, go Geale :good

[crash]

nice 1 kegsy,have you seen much of stripe drews b4,and whats your oppinion of the fight,i believe you said you have croation heritage,i imagine stripe will have a lot of fans in the crowd.

[crash]

sorry was thinking of the danny green fight got side tracked,congrats to geale,sounds like he could go far.

[Kegsy]

nice 1 kegsy,have you seen much of stripe drews b4,and whats your oppinion of the fight,i believe you said you have croation heritage,i imagine stripe will have a lot of fans in the crowd.Yeah there are tonnes of croatians living in Perth, so u would expect Stipe to have a little bit of a following.
Like most others have said Drews is a lanky southpaw, so it should be interesting to see how Green deals with it all.
Having not seen a tonne of Drews its hard for me to predict.
Hopefully Greeny can wear him down & stop him late as many have suggested.
Thats wat im banking on anyways.:yep

[crash]

i tried to get tickets to the fight,they went pretty quick,but hopeing danny can pull it off.should be a great night,

[CarltonBlues]

Geale looked awesome, just too fast and too good. Don't like making these comparisons but he kinda reminded me of Joe Calzaghe last night.

Here is the fight anyway

Very impressive Kegsy, how long have you been following boxing for?
You know what makes my journey writing in the boxing industry so hard, I don't have anyone around me that follows boxing. When I go to the local boxing I go by myself and when I draft up an article for my web site I have no-one to run it by :rofl Of course I send it onto the editor but other than that it's just left up to little fragile me :roll:

[shanemfr]

As much as i respect Dawson, but he been fighting paid asian midget punching bags, he came up against some one bigger and stronger and had no plan B, Geale has a wide range of punches and accurate somethin dawson has never faced before it all comes natural to him, great fight, Dawson has a great set of whiskers and will he has plenty left to achieve, if he goes ballistic and opens right up he wil be an animal.

[huricn]

I'll keep pottering along :D

we are here if u want to know something

[one in a million]

Thanks Kegsy and Huricn. I've finished for the year and will start fresh in 2008.

[shanemfr]

I know a lot of people put shit on Fenech as a trainer but he did an excellent job in the corner keeping Geale focused and confident in his game plan.

[Kegsy]

I think a fight with Sam Soliman would be a half decent scrap for both men.

[Kegsy]

I know a lot of people put shit on Fenech as a trainer but he did an excellent job in the corner keeping Geale focused and confident in his game plan.Yeah, totally agree.
I reckon it was close to the best i have ever seen Fenech as a trainer on friday.
Danny Green back in the day seemed to prefer not listening to him. Good to see Geale does.:D

did u like my idea for medley to fight egberime:good :lol:

[shanemfr]

Yeah, totally agree.

Thats the thing a lot of people blame fenech for his fighters losing on the big stage, but often it has been a case of the fighters doing the opposite to the things he asked them to do, e.g Hussein V Larios Fenech told him to let his hands go and tried to give him confidence but Hussein went out and barely threw 5 punches. He was always telling Vic to shorten and straighten his punches like he does in the gym, but nope Vic would go out and try and ko with every punch.

[shanemfr]

did u like my idea for medley to fight egberime:good :lol:
Egberime will do just about the same as what happened in Medlys last step up, too fast and a slick dude with a high work rate will put Medly in survival mode for most of the fight again. Big UD for the Eg

[Kegsy]

[Kegsy]

Egberime will do just about the same as what happened in Medlys last step up, too fast and a slick dude with a high work rate will put Medly in survival mode for most of the fight again. Big UD for the EgMedley is massive at welter tho.
I think it would be close, with a slight edge to Medley.

Alot of the time it was them getting a mind of their own instead of sticking to the gameplan.

[shanemfr]

Medley is massive at welter tho.
I think it would be close, with a slight edge to Medley.
I know but that last bloke (i forget his name) was an ex LW and heaps smaller than Medly, yet Medley couldn't seem to handle a fast and high punch rate to be offensive i think Eg would do something similar after seeing that fight, it would be more competitive but Eg seems to have more natural ability etc for Medley to really get enough offense goin to win.

That Thai Nakbalee got destroyed by Ranee Ganoy in only 2 rounds last month.
Medley does have some work to do with his using his height & reach to his advantage.
I would like Medley to gain a bit of confidence fight 1st with an average fighter, then take on the likes of a Egberime.

It was Isaac Hlatswayo last time, Medley showed he does have the tools, i think it was the last round he actually started punching and put Isaac on the back foot, but was way too late.

[Kegsy]

It was Isaac Hlatswayo last time, Medley showed he does have the tools, i think it was the last round he actually started punching and put Isaac on the back foot, but was way too late.Yeah he did, he admitted tho that he was way too cautious.
It was a great learning experience for him, as he learnt more i reckon that night than in all of his previous 18 wins.

[Marcus]

ohhhh yeahhh!!!

Daniel Geale showed he is the real deal with a beautiful boxing performance against Dawson.

He beat him to the punch all night and was silky smooth in defence. Geale has a great jab and throws combos all night. Props to Dawson for putting on a good show, he was ouclassed and he knew it.


Now im searching for nasty avatars for a couple of suckers :deal

[Tom_Tocca]

What about Geale fighting the likes of Howard Eastman, Mariano Carrera, Kofi Jantuah or Randy Griffin?

Would he be ready for them?

According to the reports I read on the fight vs. Dawson, Geale could challenge Felix Sturm an beat him...

[Marcus]

Id love to see him fight Sturm, but i dont think his people will rush him into a big fight.

He is a great boxer, but still needs testing at home IMO.

Having a IBO world belt, he can choose his path and hopefully go in the right direction.

Geale could give Felix Sturm a big run for his money, but their is no rush at this stage.
He has many years left in him.

Great avatar Marcus!!!!:happy:happy

[ozziebattler]

Yeah, totally agree.
I reckon it was close to the best i have ever seen Fenech as a trainer on friday.
Danny Green back in the day seemed to prefer not listening to him. Good to see Geale does.:D

Agreed..

I think Geale has nothing but 110% respect 4 Fenech and is thankful to have the former 3time champ ging him advice and believing in him.

Geale aint the most charasmatic bloke in the world but he is a slick fighter who listens to his trainer and obviously has great attitude.

I dont mind green,but he has always had a ego and wouldnt ever play second fiddle to Jeff,which was always going to be a problem.

Geale seems to concentrate on the boxing and leaves all the P.R bullshit to Jeff.

Think Geale could live up to his name REAL DEAL.

[Hmmm]

I would love to see matchup with Sturm. Style wise Sturm is perfect for Geale.

Sturm is a limited fighter with exceptional training. He is very beatable but a good game plan needs to be in place.
