    Barker said he nearly collapsed in the corner, unless he is lying.

    Are you for real? Of course he has the right too, Eddie Hearn is the boss and he offered him the choice of being in, therefore it’s his choice.

    Why would he fight on the street? That’s a ridiculous thing to say, he’s a prizefighter.

    You realise ‘can’t think straight’ is purely your subjective opinion?

    You made up the brain damage part as I know your not his doctor nor have you any access to any of his medical information. I’m also assuming your not a doctor of any kind so your assumptions are meaningless.

    The whole argument is that Eddie Hearns should not offer him the choice, try to keep up.

    All from Allen's mouth, he was having headaches and vommitting leading up to the fight, left the fight on a stretcher and ended up in hospital. And since the fight has been acting very erratic, manic etc. These are all signs of CTE. Even Stevie Wonder could see he is brain damaged

    I think Frank Warren should be sent to jail for even entertaining this Dubois fight.
    Wouldn’t you agree @NasalSpray @Dragon Punch ?

    Jail? I agree it's morally wrong to put on the fight but sending him to jail is a bit of a strong statement, what law is he breaking?

    Allen sounds fine in interviews where he hasn't had a swig.

    In 5 defeats, 3 have been inside the distance. He just absorbs punishment and is even a ‘punch sponge’ when winning fights. Brendon Ingle was bang on when he said something along the lines of ‘Dave Allen will end up blowing bubbles when he’s older’. Seriously, Dubois will really hurt him
