Daniel Geale will be a stiff test for GGG. He’s a rock solid fighter with underrated skills. There are obvious questions, mainly, can Geale stand up to the mammoth power Gennady Golovkin possesses?
Golovkin may smile before and after the fight, but he’ll be coming to tear a hole in Geale somewhere. I say he does. GGG by late stoppage.
Prediction:Golovkin

This bout between Daniel Geale and Gennady “GGG” Golovkin will be a very good fight. On one hand, there is Geale, he’s a very proven veteran that is well rounded skilled. On the other hand, GGG is an absolute beast.
GGG possesses the most destructive power in all of boxing. He is currently on a 16 KO streak. I am seeing this as a very competitive bout from the start for both fighters.
In the early rounds, GGG will probably win most of them by landing jabs, using his ring generalship and cutting off the ring. However, I do believe that Geale will win some of the middle rounds by being smart, using his defense, countering and landing some shots against GGG.
But at the end of the day, GGG will shine bright in the big city lights by dropping Geale in the 11th round and earn a knockout victory.
Prediction: Golovkin

Let’s make this prediction short and blunt.
Daniel Geale is overmatched competing against Gennady Golovkin.
GGG will win because he has a higher skill level and more strength and power than Geale.
Prediction: Golovkin

Finally, Gennady Golovkin will fight a top 10 Middleweight. Although we all wanted to see him fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., we’ll have to settle for the tough former IBF Middleweight Champion Daniel Geale.
It will be GGG’s biggest test yet and I feel his power and his ability to cut off the ring will make a big difference. Geale has never been stopped in his career, but he also hasn’t been in the ring with someone with GGG’s power.
I don’t see this fight going the distance.
Prediction: Golovkin

For the main event GGG defends his IBO and WBA Middleweight titles against the rugged Aussie, Daniel Geale in the big room at Madison Square Garden.
It’s a tough match to call as this is a big step up in competition for Gennady Golovkin. Geale being a solid ex-title holder at Middleweight. For me, I just don’t see how anyone not named Andre Ward could stop the GGG freight train. He wins by UD.
Prediction: Golovkin

Gennady Golovkin is must-see TV. It’s going to be interesting to see if he’s the same wrecking ball against his toughest opponent to date in Daniel Geale.
Geale is the former IBF Middleweight Champion and has been in the ring with top-notch competition including Darren Barker and Felix Sturm.
Having said all of that, those guys aren’t Golovkin and Geale will find that out early on. I expect Golovkin to deliver another impressive KO performance.
Prediction: Golovkin
