Shannon Briggs v Dave Allen

Good fight this if it happens- would allow Briggs to face a UK "name" before the Haye fight. Better than just getting a Eastern European in or similar.

 

Is Allen any good ?
If he's any good he'll beat Briggs.

 

Really 2 reasons I cant see it happening

1 wont be on a Matchroom show
2 Eddie wants Allen to be paired up with Pricey

But if Briggs vs Allen is a cert fair play to Allen and if he can get a win he would be right up there to fight Chisora

 

:good

 

I would be happy if this is true, somehow I get the feeling Briggs will fight someone who is proven to have a suspect chin. Briggs won't want a fight that could last more than 4 rounds because he gasses out.

 

They'll wheel someone in that he'll blow away to build the Haye fight.

 

Allen is a tough Yarkshireman and will bring the full force of the ex miner with him.

 

I thought he was Pal 100% reason being bringing Jason gavern over for him and trying to line up a fight with Price post Gavern fight. But had a look at http://www.matchroomboxing.com/boxers/

and he is not on the list I know Crolla had to fight on a few Matchroom shows before being signed up so may be the same with Dave.

If Allen is not a Matchroom fighter forget my post

 

Allen is signed to dave coldwell not matchroom. He was used on a undercard as matchroom often use dc fighters to fill an undercard.

The talk of price only happened because of his post fight interview.

 

I really don't see the fuss with Allen. Can only assume those who rate him know him personally.

That said who knows how a fight with Briggs would go at this stage? When was the last time Briggs fought anybody even semi-decent?
