    Two things:

    1) Is he being trained by Darren Barker now?

    2) I’ve seen on IG he’s been sparring some university boxer. Not sure if that’s great prep, he has sparred Whyte a lot in the past. Surely he has access to some better sparring partners.

    Think Big Daddy is going to **** him up.

    They're both as bad as each other at this point. I reckon Allen's chin will hold up long enough for Browne to gas. We saw in the Whyte & Sokowlowki fight just how bad he is

    Agreed think Allen stops him mid-late rounds. They’re both distinctly below average and the fact it’s co headlining live on Sky is genuinely embarrassing. It’ll be like two bouncers having a tear up ffs

    Reckon the stocky bald “David, leave the boxer alone!” security guy could lay the pair of them out.

    Well it's at least one bouncer having a tear-up, that's what Browne was or is i think

    Is this fight at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet, Essex ?
    Will Dave Courtney be there ?
    Is it a dinner event with table top dancers from the Daily Sport ?

    I heard Katie Price is the special guest ring card girl and Jim Davidson has been hired as the guest bell ringer.

    The problem Allan has is he’s not a puncher and he throws very few punches per round.
    Horrendous top of the bill, in fact the worst I can remember

    I have to slightly favour Lucas Browne to win this one.

    If it goes 12 rounds then I favour Browne, even though his fitness is poor, he is now post roids and he is shot to shinola. I just dont rate Allen at all.

    Only if Browne comes in badly injured and very unfit like he did against Whyte, does Allen stand a chance of winning this

    Also "h" from steps will perform unheard new material from his hotly anticipated new solo album.

    He still does spar with Whyte, not the past like years ago. Dave has been a huge credit all the recent Whyte camps.

    Having Whyte as sparring partner is very beneficial, that guy hits hard as noted by many in his camps.

    Thing is Browne is so slow, He was never fast and post drugs bust a few miles on the clock and he's looked terrible for ages.
    Plus theres no telling what shape he will come in at

    Allen I think will come in his best condition ever and that should allow him to at least get his offence going as he can be a bit plodding at times.

    Browne can punch but I think that's all he has left and Allen isn't bad defensively and then hes got a very good chin to back it up.

    Can see a late rounds Allen stoppage just because Browne is gassed and can keep his guard up
