Box: Geales gives Australia golden double
DANIEL GEALE has won Australia's second boxing gold medal of the Commonwealth Gameswith a clear points win in the welterweight final.
GEALE was technically superior to the strong South African KWANELE ZULU and won 26-17over four rounds.
The Tasmanian followed teammate JUSTIN KANE who had earlier won the bantamweight goldto match Australia's best Commonwealth Games boxing performance of two golds in 1962.
GEALE again got off to a slow start but a dominant third round with some sweet leftjabs and right crosses to the South African's head put him 17-11 up.
ZULU came out throwing everything at him in the fourth round but after he clawed backto within three points, GEALE composed himself and racked up a clear margin with crispjabs and heavy body work.
