David Allen v Richard Towers 26th March

[fightacademy]

Interesting fight on the Heavyweight domestic scene winner could well be in line to fight for the British title. I'm with David here in Finland sparring Robert Helenius and he's more than holding his own, very fit and more than ready for 26th

Sparring Helenius is an excellent idea, similar height and build to Towers but also better than Towers in every department.
It should stand him in good stead.

[PredatorHayds]

Good fight. I edge slightly towards Towers. Just because of his overall size.

[Stuarty]

Towers has done more bird than Juergen Braehmer.

good fight.........lets hope no pullouts..........

[Rexob]

If Allen wants to do anything in this game, he needs to make a statement and derail Towers once and for all.

[GooalaShooola]

Always liked the look of Allen even though his career has never quite taken off as of yet. It's the fight he needs & would be a good name to have on his record if he can do the business. Should be a good contest.

[leejonesjnr]

Really interesting fight.
Reports back from Allens sparring with Helenius are positive but of course that's no indication of how it's gone.
I'd favour Towers but not by much.

50/50 fight, no odds up yet for contest but expect it to reflect the closeness of this bout.

Never seen Allen.

Is he much good?

I've seen Towers a few times and never been impressed by him, he carries decent power though. Looking at Allen's record he doesn't seem that great... a draw against mediocre opponent and scraping by on points against a couple of other journeymen. But then, that might not reflect his actual ability... other fighters like Blackwell and McKenzie have records that don't reflect his skills.

..........i was told someones ar$e would go..........

[ste1983]

Towers out apparently

[dhb-raging bull]

Two fights in a row he's been let down on fight week now poor stuff from towers and his team if he's out they should already be saying why it is he's pulled out how's a young hungry heavyweight meant to keep the hunger when he keeps getting letting down hope he gets a good replacement as it's a tough fight he as been wanting and asking for the last few months

[Pugilist-specialist]

poor stuff from towers and his team if he's out they should already be saying why it is he's pulled out

Strange that they've been off social media for days.

BG- nice fella.

[Ginger one to watch]

Allen will most likely face Jason gavern over 10 rounds now.

[Offal]

Gavern had surgery to repair an Achilles Tendon tear in December, it was only a matter of days ago he was posting pics of his 'rehab' on Twitter, he's probably not fit to fight, Allen's not too good and not much of a puncher, so this could be a horrible full distance maul.

[The Young One]

Isn't Adam Booth the trainer of Towers and Eubank Jnr? How was he going to be in two places at once?

Now its not Towers/Allen I'm hoping its binned from the tv schedule to be honest would rather see Townend/Poxon or Wood/Glover anyway.

Should definitely show the two fights you mention, it would be crazy now to show this live as Gavern said he would be out for 6-9 months back in December I think it was, not sure how he gets through the medical but I guess he probably will. Looking forward to seeing the two ten rounders they look decent.

Booth and Eubank have gone there separate ways.

[wesshaw1985]

shame for Allen, Towers doesn't have the heart for it anymore. I believe Allen would have won purely on the basis he wants it more.
Towers has fought 1 bum in over 2 years and hes 37...
