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.
Anyone who thinks Whyte lost due to fitness issues.Quote:

Think Whyte will stop him or win a wide decision. Allen is 7/2 with PP for those who fancy him.
Listen to Allen from 45 mins on;D

Allens shtick is already tiresome and I've barely heard of the cunt.
That was a good listen.Quote:

I can definitely see why Ross likes him so much though.;D;D
More his say what the fuck he wants and fearless attitude. Plus, its actually funny stuff!
Hopefully his punch resistance isnt just a myth because I can see Whyte going hell for leather and blowing out his ass by the 5th.

Looking forward to this!
Shame Allen doesnt have another couple of fights under his belt or a few more weeks to prepare but I think hes going to surprise alot of people.
I fancy Whyte here but you can now get over 5/1 on Allen. That price is tempting.Quote:

I think so. Obviously I follow the Furys alot and iv taken note and followed Allen since I saw videos of him training with the Furys froma. Couple of years ago.Quote:

He isnt as prepared as youd hope but was in training for a few weeks with Dominic Ingle before he accepted this fight with 3 weeks to go and has been sparring Frazer Clark and Joe Joyce before they left for Rio. I think if he is as tough as everyone says then he can do it because Whyte hasnt really done rounds himself and when he did he looked messy, uncoordinated and exhausted. Allen is a fit man who used to do athletics and can still now do crazy min per mile times. Have you seen the size of his legs! The mans very strong and looks bigger than Whyte here whos trying his best to intimidate. I think hes concerned that he may not be fit enough himself.

5/1 with Stanjames and just over 5s with Marathon bet. Only PP and Will Hill up with methods and the KO is around 7/1. Id be taking the 5/1 ahead of the 7sQuote:

Whyte full on put his head into Allens face... and he showed more restraint than I've seen from nay boxer recently when that's happened...
Either very confident or a too nervey and iced up a bit... no idea which
Should be a good fight
Interview with Allen after the press conference https://youtu.be/TSA5pjhVxqs
So @ross, you went off the top board about this Allen fellah as per. You tried to have us believe that he was the second coming on the strength of him having a big mouth and cracking a few gags. Care to have a rethink?
Allen was respectful afterwards and made no excuses.
And?Quote:

Whyte was pissed he could not stop Allen, he hit him with everything he had and Allen took it.!
It probably did not do Allen's brain cells any good, he was limited but very tough.
The longer the fight was going the more frustrated Whyte got.
Is Whyte a World champ in waiting I don't think so on that performance.
I tried watching this yesterday, couldn't really get into it at all and skipped through most of it. Allen has a hell of a chin but not much else by the looks, still hard to tell how good Whyte really is imo. When he does load up he obviously has power, but he was doing a lot of arm punching and didn't really look to be all that comfortable or effective in there.
Whyte knew it was going to be hard to stop Allen so did do alot of arm punching as he was concerned about blowing out early. In fact had it been a 12 rounder and not just 10 he didnt look very strong in the last round and was starting to be bullied around more and more and taking more shots.
I think Allen showed more promise in that fight than Whyte did. I think that was only Allens 10th fight? On 3 weeks notice. Didnt have the output to win but with that experience he could go in with anyone and we know he will not fold early. Its an excellent base to build from. None of the other top heavies have the same kind of resiliance, all have been dropped, stopped, knocked out etc or in Joshuas case he got hurt by those same punches where Allen didnt.
