Watching the weight-in for Parker vs Whyte. What do you predict? I like Allen. In the light of his recent retirement plans, I hope he can manage to go out with a bang.
Allen announces that he's done with boxing and no longer wants to be in the ring and then Hearn calls panicking because the undercard is shredded and waves some cash at him and he changes his mind? It doesn't bode well. Either for the prospects of a good fight or for Allens chances in the ring. It's difficult enough when your hearts in it. I hope he's not hurt.
Does Webb have extensive AM experience? If not looks like a step down in competition. Allen should be able to hold his own here, right?
I think it's best to retire from getting punched in the head whenever fighter can. Even some of the best defensive boxers of all time can become punch drunk. CTE is no joke, boxing, football are great but now exposed as a rich man's trick. When should Allen sacrifice his Health getting paid 10K to fight one of the Earth's most feared punchers Luis Ortiz. Meanwhile white wig Hearn Champagne baths & cavire
Webb can reach British level at best. He's a more physically gifted version of Allen tbh.....Minus the chin.
Maybe that's how it happened. It wouldn't surprise me because any UK boxer with a brain who saw how successive fights had been cancelled would've realised Hearn had a gap to fill and a need for someone with some kind of name to bolster a depleted PPV undercard. It would certainly be a good time to demand a pay rise. It doesn't negate the fact Allen had already said he wanted out.
he was always fighting on saturday though to be fair. he was scheduled to fight in Sunderland and then retire, instead he's fighting at the O2 on a PPV bill, can't blame him
Allen said he was going to take a break. Not that he was out. But even then it´s a bit worrisome to take a fight on such short notice. A month after he just took a bit of a beating and wasn't in great shape for that to begin with. And Allen is not in shape for this one either.
Btw, Webb looks like hes had gastric bypass Anyone know whats up with that? Hes clearly lost a ton of weigh at some point.
