Giggles aside, Allen cant run away like Scott and I dont think he has enough firepower to put a dent on Ortiz. The only thing that spares him a serious beating is if Ortiz fights as old as he looks.
I'm not saying Dave will win but he will push Ortiz and deffinitely give him something to think about and after the Scott fight Hearn will be left wondering why he bothered.
It wasn't that long ago that you were saying that Ortiz was the only guy on the planet that could maybe challenge the "Gypsy King!"
That was before I saw him plodding around with not much variety against Scott. Had that been Fury dancing round him, he'd have had a jab in his face all night.
Hes only going to be any good against anyone who stands and fights. I'm hoping Allen uses lots of head movement! The thing I'm intrigued by is Allen is brave and hard, Ortiz won't or shouldn't bowl him over and it's Allens over hand rights I want to see. If he can pressure Ortiz who is heavier than the Scott fight and you would think with that fight being only a few weeks ago that with the added training he would be lighter still. Pressure him and make him uncomfortable. He's a Cuban heavyweight and they a renowned for being greedy and lazy and unfulfilling potential as pros.
He he probably still is the only fighter out there to challenge Tyson. Put all the other heavyweights in a round robin to create one challenger and it will still probably be Ortiz who comes out on top.
