Shaw Congratulates "Real
Deal"
For Successful Defense
Gary Shaw of Gary Shaw Productions wishes to congratulate
IBF middleweight champion Daniel "The Real Deal" Geale
(26-1, 15 KOs) for making his first successful title
defense, a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Miami
via Nigeria's Eromosele Albert (24-5-1, 12 KOs) on Wednesday
night.
Fighting on his home turf at the Derwent Entertainment
Centre in Tasmania, Australia, Geale showed tremendous ring
generalship by out-boxing and out-speeding his determined
challenger. The judges' scores were 116-112, 117-111 and
119-109.
In front of more than 5,000 electrified fans, the wildly
popular Geale entered the ring to a song written about him
in his honour. Geale won the belt from Germany's Sebastian
Sylvester last May.
"Tonight saw the birth of a new Australian superstar," said
an elated Shaw, post-fight. "Daniel's dominance is proof he
is ready for anyone in the world. He's worked hard to become
the fighter he is and he's been expertly brought along by
Garrie Fransisco and Bill Tracy as his managers and Graham
Shaw as his trainer. It's a regional success story that is
now going global and I'm proud to be his promoter."
Shaw says that Geale suffered an injury to his right hand
and will take some time off to heal before announcing his
next move.
