Dave Allen vs Darch under investigation for MATCH FIXING
Re: Dave Allen vs Darch under investigation for MATCH FIXING
May have been similar to Haye v Harrision where there was a strong rumor Haye had told people close to him to bet on 3rd round ko. Haye looked terrified to throw a punch before then in case he ko'd him.....and Audley looked like Audley!
Like that fight I highly doubt Darch was in on it. He was coming off 6 ko losses all in 2 rounds. Nothing unusual IMO. ALLEN wanted to get a couple off rounds in which he did them he stepped it up a gear and it was game over. He may have told people to bet on the 3rd, not sure there is anything wrong with that? Just like Fury is saying bet on a round 2 ko vs wilder.

Still not been paid out!
We raised your bet to our trading team for review. Unfortunately, this fight is still under investigation. We won't be able to settle any bets on this fight until the investigation is completed. Apologies.
They’ve got over £2k of my mates money including stakes. Seems only Sky Bet and Ladbrokes not settled. How the f**k is this still under investigation. And by whom?

You've played the official game with them and they're still taking the p!ss.
Have you checked facebook, punters forums etc to see if there's others in the same boat? Weight in numbers could
change their attitude especially if it gains momentum publicly.
Try IBAS or better still resolver.co.uk. An uncle of mine had an accy return rightfully amended from the bald one
through this outfit. It's a pain to have to faff about like this when old school instincts would sort it in a minute.

Stick it on Twitter - see if Eddie or Dave Allen reply (they usually have a lot to say)

Re: Dave Allen vs Darch under investigation for MATCH FIXING
The kid gets a lot of critics but I wouldn't call it a fix at all, the first couple of rounds Allen showed skills he's never used before, he switches, he moved his head, he's quick on his feet-he boxed well.
The knock out in the third was coming as soon as he sat on his shots, he used his weight advantage well and yes he could have done that from round 1 but that's not the point.
He tried to entertain, and that's what prizefighting is all about, he obviously studied Darch and played it safe because he knew the body shots would come easy in the third so why not make it look good for his fans-No harm in that!
Listen, did I start Crying when Charles 'Pot Noodle' martin walked to the dressing room for his fight with Joshua with a Beef and Tomato pot Noodle in a bowl, I put 100 quid on Martin to win that fight and I'll never forget him laughing at me from the canvas...But was it a fix? Don't be daft...Joshua ate 3 shredded wheat!
Bookies, on the other hand, are regulated and a bets a bet, as long as you got that slip in your pocket you will get paid out because that fight wasn't a fix and Sherlock Holmes his self would say the same.

And.....bookies are the slipperyest
slimey politicians, snake oil salesmen etc etc...none of 'em can hold a candle to the on-line camel coats. It is an industry
that self regulates ffs. So Sherlock and Johnnie Lee Cochran wouldn't make a dent.
Strong Negative publicity is their enemy.

The fight looked as bent as a two bob note to me.

Because you could see Darch wince in the previous rounds, watch the fight again sir.

You’d think the BBBofC would have something to say about this - maybe they are all on Furlough?

I agree - it’s the same about promoters (allegedly) not paying boxers, incompetent judges and drug testing etc.

Inside Knowledge? No Sir I just watch a lot of boxing. I didn't think the fight was fixed and that's my honest opinion, I don't know the fighters at all.dazzler wrote: ↑22 May 2020, 11:23Do you have inside knowledge of the situation?revpickles wrote: ↑21 May 2020, 17:53

Re: Dave Allen vs Darch under investigation for MATCH FIXING
I understand. I would normally say this was a typical paid sparring session between a house fighter and an "opponent". However the rumours about the betting patterns and the breakfast are too hard to ignore if true.revpickles wrote: ↑22 May 2020, 12:28Inside Knowledge? No Sir I just watch a lot of boxing.
