Darren Barker vs. Daniel Geale: who wins?

[The Hammer]

This fight is reportedly on for August 17 on HBO.

I guess HBO Guaranteed Barker another HBO date during the negotiations of the Martinez fight

I think Geale is the better fighter and SHOULD WIN!

[King_]

A lot of people seem to think Barker is going to win. This is a good matchup, but I think Geale handles him quite easily.


Winner of this in a unification fight against winner of Macklin-GGG?

[SaintGeorge]

I think Barker boxes the ears off him.

Geale is okay in every department, doesn't have great power or particuarly quick hands but he's adequate in most departments.

[The Hammer]

why not fight ggg?

Good question.

The promoters are having the other middleweights avoid him.

Intriguing fight TBH

[Bodyshot3]

I'd love to see Barker win but Geale is massively under-rated and seems to have the mental toughness, tactical know-how and physical gifts to cope with any situation and any opponent.

The Aussie is not flashy, explosive or even that exciting to watch but he seems to find the right edge in a fight and then exploits that advantage; Barker would be the better boxer is this one but Geale would fight at a pace Darren would find uncomfortable and nick it on work-rate.

Geale is hard to love and rarely sparkles; but the guy wins fights.

Golovkin is fighting Matt Mackin on 29th June.

I think Geale takes it.....

Hopefully Barker can make it to the ring

[Russian Crushin]

I guess HBO Guerranteed Barker another HBO date during the negotiations of the Martinez fight

I think Geale is the better fighter and SHOULD WIN!

Yes HBO tends to guarantee HBO dates to losers of fights. They did it with Devon for losing to Bradley and Dzinzurik for losing to Sergio.

Its such bull****
