Shaw Supremely Confident of Geale Victory
Posted on | April 24, 2011 | No Comments
Shortly after tonight’s fights in Los Angeles, promoter Gary Shaw of Gary Shaw Productions will follow his fighter, ‘The Real Deal’ Daniel Geale, to Berlin in advance of Geale’s May 7 clash with IBF Middleweight Champion Sebastian Sylvester at the Jahnsport Stadium in Neubrandenburg, Germany.
Shaw says he likes Geale’s chances in this fight. “Daniel understands where he is, and what we has to do and I know he will be ready for whatever comes his way.”
Geale (24-1, 15 KOs), a former IBO Middleweight Champion and current IBF #1 rated mandatory challenger, made the 27-hour flight from his native New South Wales, Australia today, to ensure the eight hours time difference is not a factor.
Shaw will make the trip after he oversees his bantamweight showdown between Vic Darchinyan and Yonnhy Perez.
“I am very excited to watch my fighter take the title from an experienced champion like Sebastian Sylvester. If you look at their recent common opponent, Sylvester struggled to a split draw with Roman Karmazin and Daniel got him out of there. I am supremely confident in my fighter. If you like upsets, don’t miss this fight.”
Geale vs. Sylvester will be televised through Main Event PPV on both the Foxtel and Optus networks.

Shaw: I’ll Petition Winner of Saturday’s Main Event to Fight Mares Next
Posted on | April 23, 2011 | No Comments
Regardless of who wins tonight’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast from the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles (10:30 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast), between former IBF Bantamweight Champion Yonnhy “El Colombiano” Perez and two-division world champion Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan, promoter Gary Shaw says he’ll petition the IBF to sanction an Interim title fight between them and IBF #4-rated Abner Mares.
Mares saw his title shot dissolve earlier this week when champion Joseph Agbeko was stricken with sudden-onset sciatica and their fight had to be cancelled.
“If Agbeko cannot fight in a timely fashion and defend his title, I will personally petition the IBF to let the winner of this fight for the title against Mares,” stated Shaw.
Shaw, who has a sole promotional agreement with Darchinyan and shares a co-promotional agreement with Thompson Boxing on Perez, explains it’s not just about advancing his fighters, it’s a matter of keeping one of boxing’s most talent-laden divisions moving.
“Bantamweight is a hot weight to be at right now and the powers in boxing should work to make as many of these stellar matchups happen as soon as possible. Plus, Abner Mares should have the right to fight for the IBF title and shouldn’t have to wait an inordinate amount of time. There are so many action fights to be made at this weight. I’m sure when Joseph is well again he’ll defend against the interim champion in another great fight.”
Perez is currently rated #7 at bantamweight by the IBF.
