no shortcuts or easy pickings with this guy, a true champion

Absolutely.

Daniel 'The Inglorious Basterd' Geale.

Gets hardly any love from the mainstream press and takes world titles from long reigning German champions.

Haven't seen the fight but he's done well to beat Sturm in Germany. Interesting how all 3 judges scored it 116-112 but two in Geales favour, 1 in Sturms. Was it that close that 4 rounds could have gone either way?

Wasn't much in it I think geales work rate won it for him he did not stop throwing punches all fight was a good 12 rounds of both guys punching the crap out of each other

Daniel Geale did what Anthony Mundine could not, TWICE, and is now a bonafide superstar and a legit threat to the winner of the Sergio Martinez-Chavez Jr. winner, but he'll face a stiff test in Golovkin, another underrated middleweight who came up big this past weekend, before the year is out.

In other news, Austin Trout, the man Mundine claimed was a no-name and not worth fighting as a victory wouldn't land him a big fight, has scored a date with Miguel Cotto on December 1. Good call Choc.

116-112 for either was wrong. The fight was much closer, although you would have thought it was a 120-96 if you watched the highlights on any Australian news service.

As much as I hate the boring / geeky personality of Geale, and his boring style - admittedly, he did well.

And as for Choc, wat a fk stick - If he dont land Money Mayweather, his legacy is tainted.

He's normal guy not a geek. Good to see a fighter who isnt a loud mouth ****er.

Kostya Tszyu was the most boring fighter, personality wise, to ever hold a world title.
