Geale vs Mundine

[UR-50-LO]

Well for those that don't know Sam Soliman defeated Felix Sturm this morning in Germany for the shot against Daniel Geale for the IBF title. Geales IBF contract states he is to defend within 90 days. So we will see a great bout of 2 Aussie warriors very soon IM PUMPED!!!

Tony was the only person from mundines corner that congratulated geale and his team.

That is because he (his father) is a true sportsman and a man of integrity.

I have the utmost respect for Tony Mundine and nothing but contempt for his son.   He is a disgrace to his heritage!

We should get mundine to commentate, that would be fun

I wish all the media would get together and place a ban on reporting anything to do with him.

Then he would just fizzle out even quicker.

I disagree....
That is a nothing fight for Geale, an absolute waste of time for Geale.
A fight against Soliman will do nothing for his career except flog a fellow 39 year Aussie fighter who has no future in the sport.
I won't pay to see it.

Full credit to Soliman though, no one gave him a chance to beat Sturm.

I did and got him at 8.50

I have a feeling will want to have a major fight overseas to challenge for another belt as unfortunately sam isnt a drawcard and geales team will be chasing the dollars.

I agree it's not really a step up for his career but what was his options really? The titles come with contracts...It was always going to be Soliman or Sturm in the IBF eliminator bout...Dan wants to fight overseas but if he dodges his mandatory challenger he will be stripped of the title, it's in his contract that he has 90 days to defend it. And Soliman deffinately deserves a shot, he is coming off 8 consecutive wins and has earnt the chance to challenge for it with his recent victory. They are both great blokes, both great athletes, both hungry and as much as I agree with you that it will be all Geale I still can't count Sam out completely, especially with his crazy awkwardness. It won't be "fight of the year" but it will still be a good one, more so because the titles stay here in Aus regardless

I think his team will ask for an allowance to put off fighting sam until later in the year, so they can fight martinez and make a motza. That way they can have time to put on a decent card when they fight sam in australia.

That could be quite possible too. Bit unfair to Sam should Geale lose over there though...

As much as i respect sam, he is nearly 40 and should have done it before now. His fighting style is very unorthodox and can and has made great boxers look bad so he has never been an attractive option. They might even pay hime to drop his mandatory?
