Heavyweights Dave Allen and Johnny Fisher weighed up today for their 10 rounds in the main event on Saturday, May 17 at the Copper Box Arena in London. The two are fighting again to clean up the controversy of their previous battle in December last year, which Fisher won by a highly controversial 12 round decision in Riyadh. The event will be shown Live on dazn.
It was probably one of the fights that the sport saw. Allen deserves the victory, and Fisher dropped Allen in fifth place and knocked the filling out of him. The battle showed how limited Fisher is talent.
There is nothing on the right path for this battle in terms of titles. The winner will continue to focus on pieces at the domestic level rather than going to the top contenders. These are local boys, not world class.
Weights
Dave Allen 265 against Johnny Fisher 245.5
Fans on social media dump on Allen (23-7-2, 18 COs) and say he came in at a career height instead of cutting off to give him a better chance to win. However, Allen’s career is 272 when he fought David courts in 2018, and he did a good job and knocked him out in the fourth round.
Fisher (13-0, 11 COs) is a marginal fighter, and he can fold as Allen can land his power photos like last time. The big sold -out crowds attending on Saturday is expected to be mostly Fisher fans, and that means Allen may need a knockout to win. All the cheering of Fisher’s fans can influence the judges to give him rounds that he would otherwise not win without the sound of the crowd.
HEARN: A SCRAP for the money
“It’s emotional. This is a great struggle. There is a lot on the right track. People are very emotional to support Johnny Fisher, especially his family, ‘said Eddie Hearn ifl tv About the re -broadcast between heavyweight Johnny Fisher and Dave Allen this Saturday night. ‘Make one thing clear. It’s a fight, and it’s a fight in the trenches. It’s going to do large numbers.
‘We’re going to be sold out at the copper box (Comment: Seating ability 7,500), and it is a major heavyweight, domestic fabric. The reality is that they are prices, and everyone is fighting for the next level. The next level brings championships. You win, the money rises, and that’s what people are fighting for.
“That’s what it is. It is a scrap for money. It is price control, and on Saturday you will see the epitome of price control. Two blocks that are desperate to win, which will give you a good, hard, honest struggle and value for money. Not around the ring. Not trying to survive and seize. Balls on the guillotine and roll, ‘says Hearn.
