Geale Vs Fletcher

[diddy]

I assume Geale wins this slop fest? Saw Fletcher against Jacobs. He sucks.

[ikorolev]

Soliman sucks too but he defeated Sturm. I do think Geale wins, but I give 20% chance to Fletcher.

[lefty]

Whilst i never rated Geale like some do, he would really have to be shot to lose to Fletcher who is crap.

I'm looking forward to this, good domestic scrap. Geale late rounds TKO

[ClivePatrickLyons]

Geale by a 11th round tko.

Slop fest?

I'm actually getting a bit sick of people saying that certain boxers suck, or that they are crap. If you're talking about an unskilled, unfit, uncoordinated guy with a losing record who only fights guys of a similar standard, then fair enough.

Fletcher is a decorated amateur who won Commonwealth gold in 2006, outpointing both James DeGale and Adonis Stevenson in the process. He currently has a professional record of 18-2, outpointed Max Bursak (who has beaten Brian Vera and was 29-1-1 at the time) has fought for a world title and is ranked #31 in the world by BoxRec out of 1260 middleweights. He has comfortably achieved more in boxing than 95% of boxers will ever achieve. If this is the standard you are applying for a boxers who 'sucks' then you are setting the bar extremely high!

Soliman was a level above Fletcher, but he is now 40 and was injured in his last fight where he gave a sub-par performance. He was never the most skilful boxer, but at his best he gave a prime Winky Wright all he could handle. His awkwardness, outstanding stamina and high punch output made him a handful for just about anyone at middleweight. Right now I think his best option is retirement.

I agree that Geale is better and should beat Fletcher, in fact I would give him a good chance of beating everyone at middleweight not named Golovkin.

Geale won by decision.

Scores were 119-108, 119-108 and 119-108.

Fletcher was almost stopped a few times in the late rounds, but reportedly showed great heart to survive the distance.

[jezzamundo]

That's impressive and shows that Geale really is a class above Fletcher. I was actually expecting scorecards nearer 116-112, this is a really good result for Geale.

I can't see Fletcher getting another shot at a world title now, I think his options now are to stick with being an Aussie domestic level fighter, or become a journeyman or retire.

Jezzamundo Sam Soloman is purely a BOXER yes a AWKWARD, GREAT STAMINA ,AND THROW'S PLENTY'S FROM ANYWHERE BUT PURELY A BOXER.
THATS HOW HE BECAME A CHAMPION USING HIS BOXING BRAIN.
