Allen would K.O. Price

It's another circus fight. Like last night, neither are going anywhere. I don't give anyone much credit for beating Price, because all you have to do is survive six and it's easy work. He's also not as dangerous early as he once was.

In saying all of that, of course I would watch it. Fun fight. Although I wouldn't pay a fiver to do so.

 

Price knocking Povetkin back, prior to the comical KO, bought him another couple of years on Eddie's shows, but he looked pretty poor against Kash Ali and he's not going to look any better against Allen. What I don't quite get is that Allen has lost a lot of weight but he still looks out of shape, is he really a natural heavyweight?

 

Will be a fun fight to watch but will more than likely end with Price getting knocked out through exhaustion.

 

That was a difficult fight against Kash, he was being quite negative and was slipping into sparring mode. Pricey isn’t great at dismantling opponents, it seems to take up a lot of his energy throwing them shots. Price tends to have more success when his opponents opens up, takes risks and try to knock him out. We saw a similar thing last night with Chisora...he’s another who likes an opponent to come to him and try and put it on him. Allen would purposely be conservative, high right guard and absorb the shots until Price slowed right down.

 

He'll be a seriously fat b*stard when he retires.

 

Neither Price or Allen deserve to be getting the pay packets they're getting, George Groves was absolutely spot on about Allen last night, finally someone ringside on camera telling it how it is rather than getting sucked into all the jolly Northerner bulls**t.

 

Pricey needs to consider every fight a two rounder, bombs away from the first bell Kamikaze style.

Pretty sure he'd have blasted out both Little and Ali if he'd done that.

 

Yes Allen is a HW. He’s a very big lad and believe me there is no chance in hell he could make CW.

 

Allen could drop another stone but he'd never do Cruiser.

 

It’s a shame both wins weren’t conclusive as he might be being talked about (generally) in more favourable terms. I think he was on the verge of sparking Little and Ali but obviously the ref ruined one and Ali feasted on him like he was halal.

 

If Price lets his hands go against Allen i reckon he wins. Allen has no defence and Price still has power.
If Price fights , like he usually does, petrified, then Allen wins.

I favour Allen because Price seems to have no confidence whatsoever once he gets in the ring.

 

Dave isn’t a big heavyweight he couldn’t do CW imo, he’s too big for CW and a little small in comparison to the big heavyweights

 

Yeah I hear what you're saying, but he's the same height as the greatest Cruiser of recent times, Oleksandr Usyk. I think with intense discipline, all year round, he could make Cruiser. Usyk was in seriously good condition and made weight, look at all the fat on Allen, his back, his gut, his legs, his shoulders, if that was all trimmed off and he toned up I think he could make the weight, but it would never happen.
