Comments Thread For: Geale Discusses His Boxing Journey, Making His Mark

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In boxing, appreciation can be withheld until stubbornness and blindness are shaken by the sound of the proverbial penny dropping. By that time a fighter’s achievements are arguably celebrated too little too late.

Take Daniel Geale for example. It’s been over a year since he became Australia’s first ever recognised world middleweight champion. That night of 7th May 2011 in Neubrandenberg, Germany the IBF title was wrestled from the clutches of German boxing stalwart Sebastian Sylvester and 5,000 patriotic fans via a split decision [Click Here To Read More]

Good luck to Geale in Germany this wk end. Don't worry Dan, many Aussie fans know exactly who you are and we do recognise your talents and achievements. Green and Mundine are both muppets in my book.

Good luck to Geale, a real credit to the sport & a great ambassador for Aussie boxing just by being himself.

Would like to mention a few other guys that have been in similar boats down here...

- Michael Katsidis, one of the most exciting fighters Australia has ever produced, was lucky to even get a mention in the mainstream press here, & was lucky to get a 100th of the publicity compared to Mundine in promotions down here.
There has never been a major Katsidis fight promoted in Australia. Absolutely pathetic.

- Sam Soliman, a guy who has travelled the world fighting at the highest level & can make a promotion single-handedly. The crowd at a Soliman fight always ends up wildly entertained. As far as I can tell, the only major fights he can manage over here is what he & his local team can put together themselves.

RE: Mundine & Green, atleast Danny when he fights sure as hell doesn't pick easy ones, & I have a lot of respect for Green.
As for Mundine, one of the best natural talents to come out of Australian boxing - great businessman, absolute waste of talent as a boxer, & has made himself a joke on the international stage, along with many people's opinion of Australian boxing. Incredibly dissappointing.

Guys like Daniel Geale & Will Tomlinson are the future of the sport down here, & have really lifted the level of the sport down here. Hopefully we will see many more like them.
