Dave Allen vs Filip Hrgović set to headline Queensberry show in Doncaster on May 16

Zhang would have been good since he gassed after a few rounds and he’s 42

Price fight was an embarrassment, Allen didn’t show any aggression

 

For sure

Ive no doubt he’ll batter Dave Allen but I gotta be honest I can’t fathom the hype around hgrovic personally

 

Allen has more chance against Dubois? As in the same Dubois who beat hgrovic?

 

Why not put him in with Adeleye, TKV or someone else even lower-tier instead? Eddie should just stop trying to risk Allen's health with big punchers and top-10 guys.

 

Not watching someone onesidedly getting punched in the head for 6+ rounds.

Allen seems nice. This is a **** fight. **** matchup. And hrgovic should find better opposition.

Mismatches put fighters in danger and rob fans of two good matchups.

Allen is interesting against the right opponent. And hrgovic, too.

This is a bs predictable outcome and does not sound like a fight that is the least bit interesting to watch. Allen won't ko hrgovic in a 100 years...

 

I have to mention this fight again, I think that if Makhmudov didn't knock out Allen, Hrgovic won't either, and we know that Makhmudov hits significantly harder than Hrgovic, Hrgovic will be better defensively than Makhmudov, but he will certainly absorb a few punches from Allen.

 

He's already got it, been slurring for years. Quality of life is going to be poor in the future, especially with his diet.

 

Hrgovic is very average he's going nowhere slow. Wouldnt be surprised if Allen wins.

 

I was fully against the Zhang fight, but my god, this is even worse. At least Zhang would've probably just knocked Allen out early. This is just gonna be a sustained beatdown for poor Dave Allen. Hrgovic doesn't have the biggest power, and Allen has a very good chin. Do these promoters want to give Allen permanent issues for the rest of his life?

 

Also, after that Price fight, he collapsed and was stretchered out of the ring and taken to hospital.

This is what he said afterwards.

"I don't want anyone to worry about me, I'm just a hard man gone old and soft the last 18 months. I will be okay but the last 12 months or so my health has been deteriorating and I'm glad I hung on took the chance and made money and now I'm probably done."

That was 7 freaking years ago. Against David freaking Price. And now he's fighting Hrgovic? I seriously worry for this guy. He's a good bloke and I would hate to see him permanently damaged. **** like this shouldn't be sanctioned, but then again we live in the world where Anthony Joshua can fight Jake Paul, so there you go.

 

I have it on very good authority that Hrgovic’s people have agreed the Itauma fight in the summer should he beat Allen.

 

I hope you’re correct.

 

If Allen shows up any higher than 240, I’ll take Hrgovic to stop him.

 

How would Allen win tho?
His output is normally far too low and it's highly unlikely he will knock Hrgovic out

 

Odds are he has no other way to make a decent living. Plenty of regular jobs ruin your quality of life as well.
