Comments Thread For: Geale Says He Wasn't 100% After Draining Down

The left hooks before the head butt didn't help either. Geale was getting worked over in every round. The head butt excuse is lame and it's obvious why you're using it.

I just said it didn't help. It happened regardless.

So Cotto needed to weight drain a limited fighter who is nowhere near the level of truly elite fighters?

It doesn't matter what Cotto needed to do. Geale agreed to it and that's the end of it which was my only point.

Typical of a Golovkin fanatic to use a non sequitur to make yourself feel better about the fact that Geale is one of Golovkin's best opponents.

Hard to tell how much of a difference it would've made but as others have said its not like he's a particularly good fighter to begin with.

Yes, and Geale was getting his ass kicked anyway, regardless. The head butt is a non issue and Geale himself hasn't even used the excuse so why are you?

Cotto could've changed that fact last night if he had the balls.

Wouldnt that be crazy if the WBC stripped Cotto for weighing in BELOW the divisional limit?? Brings up an interesting spin on things seeing as the Middleweight division goes from154+ up to 160, and fighters face consequences for weighing over. And weighing below would bring up safety concerns...thoughts anybody?

Again it doesn't matter. Geale is not that good and never has been. Yet he is one of Golovkin's best opponents.

A catch weight doesn't change that fact.

What excuse? It happened, he got slammed in the head then hit with a left hook that put him down. It is what it is.

Weights are optical illusions. Somebody made up the 160 limit and 168 limit and 147 limit. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Its just a marker for organization. So Geale moaning is embarrassing just like Cotto was moaning about Pac

this has to be the most ridiculous load of bull**** ive ever read on NSB.

[joesaiditstrue]

If he couldn't make the weight, don't agree to the catchweight. Problem solved.

why would he not agree to it? he got paid. anybody would do the same in that situation. doesnt mean he wasnt drained dude.
