    He would need Don King as his promoter for one. He doesn’t have that. Fisher has no Chin. None.

    Yeah, for the Brit domestic level, Allen is a pretty hard hitter. Even on a world level he's probably a 7 out of 10. He can crack. If he could catch some world class guys like he caught Fisher, he could beat them.

    If he got serious, he could achieve more. He's got a world class chin and world class power. I hope he gets serious. Would be awesome to see. Don't get me wrong, he's not beating Usyk or Dubois, but he might in theory if he took things really serious be able to take on guys like Whyte, Wallin, Joyce, etc.

    Credit to Fisher for his honesty and raw emotion in the post fight interview. He might not have passed the test against Allen but good luck to him in the future.

    That first video gave me chills him talking about his dad. And allen giving him gis respects is class.

    Bad blood fueds are great but genuine class, courage and respect between opponents is its inversed greatness as well.

    Thanks for sharing those.

    also the "allen is too small" was pretty much found out in the last half of the first fight. then came in bigger and it was clear that fisher could be taller and rangy-ier and still woulndt know how to keep allen off him.

    allen is the bert cooper of his generation with pure respect in that regard

    Fisher tried his best, he’s just not on the level. No shame in that.

    Me too.

    No problem man. I met Johnny and his family 2.5 years ago during my vacation on Tenerife, we hung out and had a great chat.
    I attended his fight last year against Babić, and got to hang out with him and his family again before and after the event. Big John really appreciated me an my brother coming over from the Netherlands to watch his son fight. Such an awesome family as they just stayed very close to who they are, love to see it.

    Often leads to even more ferocious match ups. Something about that competitive spirit us blokes have with our besties. Me and my two weight training oppos are stupidly competitive to the point of causing injury.
