Think Allen will actually win later. Both Allen and Browne are seriously lacking in skills (especially defensively) and ultimately I think it will come down to who can take the other’s shots better, neither will want to attempt to outbox the other but rather knock the other out. Despite Browne hitting harder I think his punch resistance isn’t particularly good (perhaps declined somewhat) whereas Dave’s durability is perhaps his only good attribute. Therefore I expect him to stop Browne.
Looks a special talent. Would love to see him in with Patara next, be a really good, skilled contest. Would fancy Cordina to beat Patara mind.
This is the fight everyone wants to see, 2 fighters in their prime, right at the top of the game, a PPV worthy fight and we should all bow down to Eh day for sticking this on at the O2 on Sly Sports Action.
The atmosphere is building (A Dame Smith) - turn your back and look around - the place is empty and like a library without the loud music between fights.
Cordina is a real prospect. A future bout vs Luke Campbell is a mouthwatering affair. Not sold on Josh Kelly at all. I think he would have lost to David A.
Can’t wait to see Kelly on his back. Cordina is class, even more impressed with him tonight than the other fights I’ve seen.
Pudding Chisora looks to have an easy task next against a Kosovan Pudding tonight - the only uncertain performance tonight is when Lily Allen enters the arena. The excitement levels of Matchroom cards goes through the roof with all these 50/50 fights.
Smith giving the women script now - Shannon 'Big Pecker' Courtney straight on to Claressa Shields and Katie Taylor
