    Allen 1.04
    Nebo 10
    Allen was never good and looked like crap in his last fight. He is still out of shape.
    Nebo has beaten some C level and has power.
    Am I missing something???

    Matchroom fanboys thinking Allen is some sort of heavyweight don.

    Cannot imagine a bookie would fancy laying much on Nebo

    Nebo must be utter garbage.

    From the weighing photos, looks like he spent more time in Greggs than the gym

    I'm not sure how much notice Nebo has been given, otherwise 10/1 could be good value. I can remember thinking the Woo Man (Jason Gavern) was worth a bet against Allen a few years back only to find he turned up way out of shape having taken the fight at late notice - I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar conclusion here.

    As likeable as Dave Allen he is, is a third tier heavyweight at best. For me, Allen is slightly below Lenroy Thomas who just about scraps into the world's top 75.

    Are matchroom fanboys working for the bookmakers now?

    I'm backing Allen to win by a dodgy points decision.

    Third tier in today’s heavyweights are your Chisora‘s, Takam, Duhaupas, etc.

    I’ll give u the benefit of the doubt and assume u meant ‘thirtieth tier‘.

    I thought he was getting in shape for this after the Webb fight? The guy is unbelievable, got six figures for his ko win and he can't even be arsed to live the life!

    Yeah I’m beyond caring now. He’s only in slightly better condition.

    10/1 SEEMS to be pretty decent for a heavy who can punch fighting a at best C level out of shape.

    Punters dictate the price, if a Labrokes in Belfast and Leeds priced up the fight independently, you would have two very different takes on the fight.

    He is going to be sat in a pub in 10 years time, at 30 stone telling every man and his dog that he could have been a world champion but he never got the break. Sitting next to the bloke who had trials for Manchester Utd but got injured.
