    I've been a fan of Fisher, and I was concerned for Allen's health before the fight.

    But Allen surprised me, and I thought he won the fight.

    What do you think - who deserved to win?

    There is absolutely no doubt that Allen won that fight. The Mcgrail decision was suspect but this one was pure robbery. No better than wrestling at this point.

    Allen, and there's no debating that.

    Wasn't scoring the fight, had my son play wrestling in the background, but even keeping a keen eye on it, it was clearly daves fight

    Allen battered him for the whole second half of the fight and got a knock down.

    Gutted for Dave. He maybe could have done a bit more in the 10th but he won that fight. It’s ruined my weekend if I’m honest

    Only watched the highlights, but it's disappointing to hear that after the judges miraculously scored the Usyk fight properly despite the financial incentives for Fury to win, that robberies seemingly still happened on the card...

    It was a close fight when you look at rounds but it was a dominant win overall, Allen won every single round after 4.

    Allen won but it was a dreadful fight. Pure Homer Simpson.

    Allen, and I picked Fisher to win. After that knockdown I think you can only find one round for Fisher, and that's being incredibly generous if I remember right.

    Allen should have got the nod.

    Johnny Fisher seems a lovely dude but his hype train pretty much got derailed there. His father's social media use defo helped build that hype train in the first place. I remember Fisher said that he used to struggle against Allen in sparring, I was very disappointed to see that there seemed to be no improvement. Perhaps Fisher could benefit from a new trainer as he does have some potential at least to be a solid gatekeeper, but I just can't ever see him being a future world champion and Itauma would stop him early if they fought.

    They need to rematch ASAP. Nowhere as bad as Whittaker's situation though.
