Golovkin v Geale (New York Tonight)

Over in New York tonight, there is an intriguing middleweight fight.

At the legendary Madison Square Garden venue the WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin will be defending his bout against a fighter we know a lot about Daniel Geale

Geale, as you?ll recall, is the man Darren Barker beat to win his world title fight over on American soil.

Golovkin, a fighter who stopped Matthew Macklin (amongst others) with a wicked series of body shots, is rated by many as the best fighter in this division. His record stands at 29-0 with 26 of those wins coming by way of knockout.

Geale, on the other hand, will enter the ring with a record that reads 30-2 with 16 wins coming by way of knockout.

Weight-wise, Golovkin weighed in at 159.8 pounds whilst Geale weighed in at 159.2 pounds.

Ahead of the fight Geale, amongst other things, has remarked,

?I think his [Golovkin] weakness is his confidence. He has that huge amount of confidence. I?m going to break it and do my thing.?

That remains to be seen. Unless Geale gets lucky I can see him going the same way as all of Golovkin?s previous opponents.
