I’m a bit pissed off I’m Not gonna lie, and I might be wrong , but we’ve been hearing all the usual stuff about Dave Allen being in the best shape ever, and he’s looking ripped in training camp. And then he comes in at a career high weight!
He could’ve done so much more with his career, but just seems like he can’t be arsed.
I’ve nothing against Johnny Fisher,nice guy and showed he’s game, but he’s totally overhyped .
He’s very limited.
Conway v Warburton was a good fight but main event is on now early at 9.30.
Fisher nervous and tentative in the first round. Allen looking dangerous with the right looping hand.
Fisher busier in the second round and Allen not throwing enough.
1-1
Fisher winning the third round with frantic nervous attacks.
Dave Allen knocks out Fisher in round 5. That was a good finish from Allen who was behind but knew he just had to land one of his big punches to hurt Johnny.
They started early didn’t they? I thought ring walk was at 10pm? Just caught the last round and a half.
Nothing against Johnny Fisher, I really like the guy. But he’s area level.
It’s not his fault that Eddie hypes the shit out of him.
I’d love to see Fisher become a top HW, But it ain’t gonna happen.
As for Allen, good luck to him . Same old story, if he’d have been dedicated etc. but hey, he is 100% honest about it.
I hope they both get what they deserve out of their careers. 2 sound blokes.
Both boxers are limited to domestic level but Allen looked relaxed with the extra weight. The experience of Allen worked out for him.Quote:

So at the weigh in , I thought Allen hadn’t taken it seriously enough. But this shows where Fisher is at. That’s no disrespect because I admire Fisher for even stepping in the ring.
As for Dave Allen, there is no more honest man in boxing. Especially about himself . Very refreshing.
That really was a sensational KO full respect to Allen. Once again setting himself up for another big shot. Might have to break down and get me a pair of the patterned skivvies too ;D.
Dave Allen was really very honest. The promoters and TV commentators wanted a third bout but Dave said it would be better for Fisher to rebuild first as he would lose again and that would finish Johnny career. Dave is a friend of Johnny as is looking out for him.Quote:

both fighters seem like nice guys but neither should be near main event level. it was a sweet kayo though. towel was a bit late. eddie probably has a rematch clause for the trilogy. they should feed dave to moses. what's best for dave is probably a fight with usa's wba number ten deontae pettigrew
Putting Dave Allen in with Moses would be brutal and barbaric. Let Allen get some good matchups at his level.
There were 7000 people in attendance so they can both draw a good crowd.
Dave Allen already said ages ago, he wouldn’t fight Itauma because Itauma is way too good for him.
What you have to understand is Allen is different to every fighter out there.
He’s fucking chuffed because now he can look at getting a house with an en-suite! And separate rooms for his girls.
He knows his level, and doesn’t have any false belief that he’s gonna go any higher.
He goes in the ring and even he doesn’t know how it’s gonna pan out.
that's why i said feed him to moses. good for undercards, not main event statusQuote:

But “feeding Johnny to Moses” would not have sold. Moses gains nothing from it, because he was and is way above that level. Even Fisher knows it.Quote:

1. I don’t want to be cruel &
2. I hope I’m wrong.
But Fisher is never going any further than the level he is .
his popularity isn’t necessarily based on a line of improvement like most fighters. He will regularly have his few thousand followers even if he never went higher than what he is.
Not everyone is a World Champion and not everyone is in it for that.
I hope Fisher gets everything he ever wants from his career and gets out safely when the time is right.
i disagree, i think moses v johnny would have sold more than johnny v dave or more than moses' last opponent. moses would have gained more exposure. yes moses is way above that level, it hasn't stopped them making that level of fights for him though. & yes johnny knows it as well. i agree it would never happen because eddie was trying to milk johnny for as long as possible but even dave was too much for him. i agree moses needs to keep moving up not down, when i said they should have fed johnny to moses i was talking about before the first dave fight. his opposition his been shit anyway. at least it looks like they are feeding dillian whyte to moses next
