Rock Allen seems to have the tools to make an impression at welterweight but in his 12th fight he is taking on someone whose record is 6 wins, 5 losses and 1 draw. Can Rock Allen worry the bigger names in the division or is he another Jeff Lacy?
Damn I was gonna make a post yesterday putting out a APB on this guy. Where is he. I thought he was gonna do what Andre Berto is doing but fell off the radar. Boy would I love to see him fight Berto because they are very similar.
Won't even make it to Lacy status because of chin issues. Too bad, though. He seems like a pretty solid fighter otherwise.
What chin issues? Was he ever dropped or stunned? I watched only about 3 of his fights and he was blowing tomatoe cans away. Tell me though was he rocked?? If so by who?
The word on the kid is he didn't have the sturdiest of chins in the amys, and has been hurt regularly in sparring. I didn't think much of it, until I saw him get staggered by a left hook in the first round earlier this year when he fought on Telefutura.
I have watched him a few times and he looks the real deal against weak opposition - I can't figure out why he doesn't seek out progressively tougher opposition. Rock Allen can really deliver a punch!
