Geale vs Mundine

The IBF Middleweight Championship

Post-fight analysis

Gale takes commanding UD over Mundine

It was a one-sided affair between Australia's two top boxers as the reigning IBF Middleweight Champion Daniel Geale gained revenge over the man who inflicted upon him his only career defeat, Anthony Mundine.

Geale controlled the pace throughout the fight, and managed to steer clear of the majority of Mundine's spoiling tactics. The challenger frequently led with his head, launched at Geale with elbows and generally tried to make the fight as gritty as possible.

The champion, however, was rarely outside his comfort zone, but for fleeting moments in the third when he was backed against the ropes and the eighth when Mundine rallied to possibly draw the round.

Despite Mundine's apparent insistence that he'd won the contest, Geale's arm was raised, and the scorecards a picture of domination at 116 - 112, 117 - 111, 117 - 111 all in favour of Geale.

Mundine, himself, is a former three-time, two-weight World Champion. He first won the WBA World Super-Middleweight title in 2003 against Antwun Echols, before winning it for a second time with a 9th round KO of Sam Soliman. The hattrick was complete with his surprise 2009 win over Geale, taking the IBO Middleweight title in the process.

Now 37, Mundine, a New South Wales native, will look to secure a fourth career World title against the 31-year-old Tasmanian Geale.
