Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Dave allen is like the heavyweight version of paul smith.
Underserved opportunity after undeserved opportunity.

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Strange isn't it? Wonder if the likes of smigga were/are prepared to fight for well under the going rate. Paul was a very good fighter, better than he looked but I agree that he got more chances that were warranted based on ability and marketability. There must be a reason and money is my best guess.

That's money for jam, that is.
Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Dave Allen gets hammered over ten
or do we believe like he does that a handful of sparring sessions with Usyk have taught him how to box better ?
I mean lets not forget the guy was only a win away from getting in with AJ , in his mind of course !

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Dave Allen should be looking at the likes of Gorman or Wardley, lower end of the domestic top ten, not guys like this.
Hammer pts - Allen has another long, punishing night in a fight he doesn't have much chance of winning (see Whyte, Ortiz, Yonka).

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
You can’t fault he will get in with anyone provided he’s had a camp (think he’s only turned Dubois down when there’s not enough notice.)
On top of that he’s in miles better shape now than I’ve ever seen him.
Hammers a proper gate keeper for world class tho. Still probably around 15-20 in the world but will beat anyone who doesn’t deserve to be in that top 10. You have To respect a man who’s faced Fury, Ortiz and Povetkin and beaten Price and Teper.

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Good match this, I reckon Hammer. He‘ll have to work for it though. Allen is well capable.

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
If the ghost of Pricey can beat Allen with ease then Hammer has a very good shot. I was surprised how easily he folded vs Fury (though I backed Fury to stop him that night.)
Could be an interesting fight though.

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
We know now with the Wilder performances just how good Fury is and was. Making a seeming immovable object like Christian Hammer wilt is an under rated win on the resume.ShadrachSimmo wrote: ↑10 Oct 2020, 15:57If the ghost of Pricey can beat Allen with ease then Hammer has a very good shot.

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
He was expected to lose, it was more a case of how easily he folded without really being hurt that kinda surprised me.jameswilson wrote: ↑10 Oct 2020, 16:24We know now with the Wilder performances just how good Fury is and was.

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Hammer for sure, I hope Allen can realize his luck is limited.
Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Allen is and always was a journeyman.

Think allens changed plan to tune up end of year, then wardly for brittish title early next year. Thats what he said on instagram.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑04 Nov 2020, 15:40 Hammer is now fighting Yoka on Nov 26..

That's a good fight. Really did not rate Yoka as an amateur - just thought he was incredibly luckyRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑04 Nov 2020, 15:40 Hammer is now fighting Yoka on Nov 26..

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Yoka has looked decent as a pro to be fair. My own gut instinct is that he might be an on top guy and I’m convinced that he will react well when he’s pushed a bit.

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
looks like Allen vs Ilja Mezencev on the conner benn (old whyte povetkin) card. Long cry from Hammer, never heard of the guy, but at least he is 25, and active...
(according to allens instagram, slightly cryptically..)

If this is the kid I’m thinking if he’s been beaten by Tom Schwartz twice.gregregegg wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 18:09 looks like Allen vs Ilja Mezencev on the conner benn (old whyte povetkin) card. Long cry from Hammer, never heard of the guy, but at least he is 25, and active...

Not in itself a terrible fight (although a pretty poor one) but it would be a steaming, fetid dug turd of a PPV fight undercard.
Allen’s transformation into an undercard PPV must have is one the more bizarre UK boxing developments of this decade

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Yea thats the one. 22-2, 25 years old, only beaten by someone whos only defeat is fury... It can work on paper.. This is not a PPV anymore at least, hence they can get away with this.fizzjambo wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 19:15If this is the kid I’m thinking if he’s been beaten by Tom Schwartz twice.gregregegg wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 18:09 looks like Allen vs Ilja Mezencev on the conner benn (old whyte povetkin) card.

Aye it’s no worse than DD’s last opponent, although I suppose that was at very short notice.gregregegg wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 19:51Yea thats the one. 22-2, 25 years old, only beaten by someone whos only defeat is fury...

Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
As does Allen. Maybe not as much, but not far off
Re: Dave Allen Vs Christian Hammer
Allen now claiming he’s retired. Probs a publicity stunt.
