    Both emptied their tanks to be fair - the fuel warning signs were on when they left the dressing room.

    I think Dave doesn't have it as a headliner. This was a very winnable fight. Maybe he just needs to be an undercard gatekeeper

    Very sloppy but it was a fun enough watch.

    That was a very moderate fight.

    Allen landed his best punches in the clinches

    Jeez, Makhmudov is terrible. Him
    V AJ would be a shocking fight.

    It's just Dave Allen isn't very good. Always been the case

    Dunno where Dave Allen would go now other than retirement.

    No, if you're a Russian or a John, you are big, no matter what your dimensions actually are. Thems the rules.

    I don’t care if he won, he is ****ing shite him. I never ever say that about any boxer either. Awful, I’m no Joshua fan as anyone who’s ever read me knows but Joshua beats him to the punch and kos him early, similar to that Brazilian fighter he done, similar to the MMA man he done. As long as he isn’t completely shot to pieces that is. Year out the ring he could be but doubt it at his weight.


    He’s like an even worse on the eye Wilder.

    Yeah it’s always been the case. He tried the same tactics against Price where he’d just get inside and try to unleash a pyramid of right-lefts from body to head but Price was technically way too good for that.

    That fight was absolutely hilarious, the heavyweight division is absolutely fried if those 2 are anywhere close to being contenders. Allen looked like he literally didn’t train, just ate shots and threw some back before looking knackered.

    Got to hand it to Matchroom getting 8000 folk in to watch that, plus whatever DAZN put in. A year ago Allen was fighting 4-rounders in a skating rink.
