This is an interesting match.
This saturday on the Brook undercard, eliminator for the British title.
I expect Allen to win by stoppage and he will be an excellent addition to the scene.
He has been sparring everybody including Klitschko, Fury's, Joshua and just done a couple of weeks with Helenius. Is apparently tough as they come and never been hurt by anyone and has power.
I've never seen Allen (certain he hasn't been on TV).
I'm pretty sure this will be Tower's first fight with Adam Booth, be interesting to see how he's changed that "Ingle style."
Lots of talk that Towers has pulled out and sky are looking for a replacement!
Allen has just confirmed Towers has pulled out.
His arse has fallen out. No one has been able to get hold of him for a while apparently.
Looking like the replacement for Towers mght be Jason Gavern.....:p
Allen has taken the Dillian Whyte white on 3 weeks notice fair play to him. Nice bloke tough as nails, quick witted.
Hes super fit does crazy miles per minute runs especially for such a big man. Hes been training in a new set up with the ingles for 3 weeks already and already lighter than hes ever been in the pros at 16.5 stone.
Good luck to him, hes got a real good chance and I think he wins.
I haven't seen Allen either, but Dillian Whyte just fought and looked rusty/off to me, surprised this would be made with so little notice for both.
Allen was calling for a fight with Whyte for a while and agreed to an October date and was training for that. Whyte doesnt have an opponent in place so basically started goading Allen to take it and Allen has accepted. Its for the WBC international so instant ranking booster for Allen.
Watch some interviews with him the man is going to be a brilliant addition to the divivision. Very funny and quick witted but quite dry as well.
He fought Gavern and the fight was a stinker because Gavern didnt really want to fight but that fight is no worse of an opponent than Whytes best win which would be Minto.
I think Allen stops Whyte late as he is supposed to be granite and very naturally fit whereas the only time we saw Whyte go a few rounds he looked exhausted where he should have been super fit for his big chance.
Allen looked poor against Gavern, getting messed around and unable to hurt him.
This is a good match-up though.
When Joshua is chasing you around smashing your face in there's a big chance you'll get tired.
He did hurt him though. Gavern didnt want any more after 4 rounds. Wilder went 4 rounds eith him as well;)
Did you see Whytes last fight?;D
Whyte looked poor in his last fight chasing a crusierweight around trying to land a highlight reel KO. But eventually settled into the job (not that I think Whyte is a world beater).
Gavern fought Allen on a few days notice and was fat as fuck. Wilder punched his head in which forced him to quit. The ref was about to DQ him in the Allen fight because it was so bad. He never once hit the deck or was in trouble.
It's pure guess work with Allen, nothing in his form suggests he's good at anything. Gaverns approach should be irrelevant, if you're good, you chin him out. The only other fight I've seen of his he was fighting a bloke Bellew chinned a million years ago, Allen was lamping him left right and center, doing what he wanted but the bloke never went over.
Whyte showed incredible fitness in the Joshua fight, only a proper daft cunt would dispute it.
You cant on one hand excuse Allen for looking shit because of his opponent and then on the other use Whytes last outing as a stick to beat him with. Have some consistency for fucks sake.
Whytes opponent stood in front of him and punched back. Gavern was holding and not really trying to make any kimd of a fight of it.
Dont worry about power. I think its Allens toughness and fitness that will beat Whyte.
Also, Whyte wasnt fit in the Joshua fight or not as fit as he could or should have been.

How do you know Allen is tough and fit? Is it from watching him stumble about with Gavern or is it just because he says so in videos?
You were saying the same thing pre Joshua about Whyte. He's so fit, he's in the best shape ever, he's been working with so and so.
