Official Gennady Golovkin vs. Daniel Geale RbR, prediction & discussion thread

[Evil Abed]

Before you became a star in America, you got a chance to spar with names like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Canelo Alvarez and Peter Quillin. What did you learn from those experiences?

I had sparring with them, but at this point ... I was not excited about those sparring sessions. They were very light sparring, and I can't tell much about that. It was OK, but I'm not excited about that. It wasn't something I was impressed about.

Damn Barker... not surprised why you and Hearn wanted nothing to do with GGG after your win

[BOXEO _]

****ing lol gareth wood ? GARETH WOOD ? he ko'ed a nobody that 2 other nobodies couldnt do ! wooo

the question is has geale ever faced a serious puncher on GGG's level?
the answer is no.

the next question is will get get KTFO? the answer is most probobly
yes.

2 nobodies? LOL, Soliman is the current IBF Champion and Mundine is a 2 time world champion in 2 divisions. Neither of those guys even stunned Garth, Real Deal Geale got him out of there in 6.

Here is how the fight will break down:

It will be relatively close until about the 8th round where GGG will start to take control and either score a late round TKO or a somewhat dominant decision. If Geale wants to win he has to have excellent footwork and defense(not about how much punishment he can take, he should avoid GGG power shots at all costs-no human beings at that size can take GGG power shots all fight) I think Geale is abit underrrated, and could see the fight being competitive(at least early on)

As for GGG getting floored by Groves, Im told it was Groves that actually got a busted rib from their sparring session... #boxing

wow guy, these are some top quality guys that geale has fought, man i bet GGG is real scared.

No shame in getting dropped by Groves. He's a big guy and has legit power and hand speed.

It's obviously just a rumour at this stage but I meant that i don't think people should view it as a slight on Golovkin considering that Groves is a puncher who probably has a 20+ lb weight advantage atm.

Don't believe these rumours about Groves dropping GGG in sparring, I just can't imagine GGG ever going down
