    IN fairness to Haye Allen might be a step up from Di Mori and Arnold.. At least Allen comes to have a scrap

    No he doesn't. He barely threw a punch vs Whyte.

    I'm rather disappointed Allen looks like he is being served up to Ortiz, I was hoping Allen would be given a little time after his personal issues and brought back slowly and at only 24 years old built up a little bit, he is actually funny, brutally honest and very likeable so there is something to work with.

    There really is no rush to throw Allen in to a fight like this, I don't see what he gains from this apart from money and a beating.

    Also David Price said he was above the likes of Allen so why didn't Price ask for the Ortiz fight? Where's Price? He wants an opportunity to put himself in line for a title shot so why didn't he throw his name about for this?

    Nah, Price is edging towards fighting a trilogy against 78 year old Thompson, the man is a joke and shouldn't be anywhere near a world title shot, actually he isn't doing enough for a British title shot.

    Anyway, Ortiz looked awful against Scott, don't misunderstand me, Scott didn't want to fight from the opening bell and was even warned for not fighting inside 2 minutes and it does take two to have a fight but Ortiz should have done more in the later rounds when Scott was there to be hit.

    It's boxing anything is possible but I think this will be a seriously one sided beating, I hope Allen proves me completely wrong and at least makes it competitive.

    For this promoter everything revolves around Anthony Joshua, which is fair enough. The othe heavyweights know it.

    Bellew is being fed to Haye to help build up a possible Joshua-Haye fight.
    Allen is being fed to Ortiz to help build up a possible Joshua-Ortiz fight.
    Meanwhile Joshua is fed Molina and given more time to develop.

    Whyte-Chisora will provide a winner who can be matched with Haye, Ortiz or Joshua.

    It's yet to be seen whether the 41-year-old remains of Wlad Klitschko will be back next year, against Joshua.
