    We'll know what shape he's in after six rounds. I'll reserve judgment until then.

    To be fair if Tyson Fury got in this shape half this forum would be creaming their pants.

    I reckon Allen's chin and toughness will be the difference maker in this fight between two obviously limited HWs.

    The betting odds are widening in Allen's favor. He'll probably be a similar favorite as Whyte was against Browne.

    Big Big Daddy fan but he has looked terrible of late against terrible boxers.

    Allen is a big step up from the Rough and Rowdy entrants he has been facing and looking poor to..

    I think Allen will either get a tko or beat him up over 12 rounds cause Lucas is also pretty tough...

    I watched his latest ifl interview and I know some people will just nah it’s his accent but he really is starting to sound punch drunk he kept repeating himself losing his train of thought and slurring.

    Used to really like Allen and thought he was a great character but just a bit bored of him now. It’s the same crap every fight as he ‘knows it’s his last chance and he’s in the shape of his life’ etc... there’s 100 other fighters who deserve the chances and exposure he’s had. Just goes to show how it the Lad bible idiots find you funny you’ll keep getting chances... not arsed who wins vs Browne

    I think Allen will win handily, but it means little because big Lucas is shot to ****.

    I've noticed this a lot too. It might seem big and hard to block punches with your face and go on about your granite chin but it's going to look very dumb in the future if he isn't careful. For what it's worth there is absolutely no reason why Allen shouldn't be in that shape, he's a professional boxer. I'm in better shape and probably better condition than him and I have a full time job, the same goes for thousands, millions, billions of other people.

    I'm glad it looks like he's taking this seriously, I want him to do well but this is how I see it, if he wins by KO we will never hear the end of it, if he wins we'll hear about it for ages, and there's a part of me that would actually quite like to see him knocked down, staggering around all wobbly legged and cross eyed, as much as I want him to do well I would pay to see that.

    Browne is absolutely shot to bits, not just his punch resistance but his overall balance and reflexes are gone now. Only reason I’m not fearing for his health is because he’s only facing Allen. Said before, this fight will be like watching two fat fuglys going at it in a homemade porno.

    I’ve also worn tired of the Dave Allen nice guy, one of the lads, loveable loser show. He’s repeatedly let himself down and been rewarded with chance after chance for being a loveable oaf. Probably is a lovely guy but the end of his story has tragedy written all over it. Hope I’m wrong but have a gut feeling.

    Browne is finished, if Allen can't beat him after actualling training properly, he should probably consider another career
