    Hearn is absolutely spot on, he puts his time and money in a fighter who obviously doesn't understand the big opportunity he has. He had a prime spot on a massive bill and he blew it. Eddie has all the right to have a dig, he is the one paying the kid, he could have given that slot on the bill to somebody else. Hard on him? F off. What do people want for Eddie to give him a cuddle for being unprofessional? Allen is wasting people's time.

    Eddie should be careful what he says because Allen might beat him to death with his enormous package.

    If Allen could improve his fitness and up his work-rate throughout a fight then he'd be a handful for anyone in the heavyweight division because his chin is top notch. He's a decent guy so I hope he pulls his finger out because a few changes to his game and he could do well for himself.

    The longer this is going on the more it is painting EH as a bully boy.I totally understand the frustration From EH, but one has to realise Allen's story, to listen to interviews about this man, personally he has made up the numbers, and fought fighters to "Enhance" his career.

    The man is excited for the first time in a long time in his life, and enjoying certain success under EH, but to be fair to Allen he has done everything asked of him, fought who he was told he was fighting, often over his head.

    And he loses a fight and EH lets rip publicly over it, Allen didn't deserve that.

    I'm desperate for him to do well (like others) but he's very limited and although he might have a solid chin, he uses it has his main defence. It's made him too gung-ho, preferring to walk down opponents and take too many shots. He's acting like a fan who's been allowed to mingle with the acts in the green room. He has no self belief.

    He acts like a big kid. Which is refreshing in some ways as sometimes the ol tough guy act can be tiresome .

    But this is a serious sport and should require some commitment .

    He actually looks like a big man boy. He needs some venom not sure he has any

    Fedosov goes up in my estimation for getting the guy Allen lost to out of there in three rounds. That said, Allen is still very green and can improve. He needs to if he wants a long term career in the hw game that isn't just as a stepping stone for other dudes.
