    Comments Thread For: Geale Focused To Impress Against Barker on U.S. Soil

    NEW JERSEY - Ever since Daniel Geale (29-1, 15 KOs) pulled off the unthinkable by defeating Felix Sturm on Sturm's home turf of Germany in September of last year, Geale has essentially cemented himself as one of the elite 160 pounders in boxing. With the prestige and pageantry associated with such esteem comes the responsibility of self-improvement, a trait that often associates itself with the kind of high caliber athlete with an obsession for competition. It wasn't enough for Geale to take a bite out of the world stage nor was it completely satisfying when he became the No. 1 fighter in his home country of Australia.

    That is why Geale is thrilled to have his next fight scheduled on U.S. soil. Immediately following his victory over Strum, Geale made it apparent that he had all intentions to make a name for himself in America, but had unfinished business in Australia with Anthony Mundine, in which he scored a unanimous decision victory. He is still adamant about growing his brand in America. [Click Here To Read More]

    Only reason I care about this fight is because its in the mw division and GGG is potentially gonna kill Geale if he wins.

      Last chance saloon for Barker.....if he's fully fit and goes for it then he's good enough to upset Geale's US publicity tour.

        Barker vs. Geale is a good match-up. I predict a close, competitive action fight.

            Geale is a solid enough 12 round fighter but Barker at his best is a sharp boxer and stinging puncher who can out-skill the Aussie. Darren, though, needs to pace the fight properly and maintain his effort over the full trip. If he does that I see things going his way by UD.
