Round-by-Round: Dave Allen vs. Filip Hrgovic - 16 May 2026

[Kilburn]

O’Docherty UD.

[handsofstone]

117-111 O'Doherty, volume won on the day, over 1100 punches thrown, incredible output, Hatim's work rate wasn't that low but compared to O'Doherty he couldn't compete, it was pretty even early on I had it a draw after 4, both quite similar in the sense that neither are punchers or particularly strong but don't mind getting in the trenches and fighting up close, ref never got involved, Hatim was tough and got off some quality work but O'Doherty just chipped away, ground him down and as it got down the stretch, he pulled further away and picked up the pace even, insane engine

The stadium looks empty

Wow, big Dave not that popular in his hometown.

They've lost big on this.

[Kilburn]

Belting opener between McGregor and Gomez. A lot of leather thrown there up close.

McGregors round on sheer effort.

[TheLeprechaun]

Adam f*cking Smith so f*cking annoying

[Kilburn]

Gomez Jr clearly looked the stronger in the second round. Looks like his fight.

Constant loading up from both.

[D4v3]

Remember when mcgregor looked like a nailed on future world champion

[Kilburn]

McGregor brings it again in the third. Looks hard work for him though.

Credit to the sport these two.

[MasterG]

It's stopped raining. And we are on the fight before main event

I haven't been to a show as empty as this, well Hughie fury v Parker. There is not 5 thousand here.

[Glass Joe]

Gomez is such a dick can he also get a post fight test lol

[Kilburn]

McGregor down in the fourth under a barrage but still defiant at the end of the round.

Got to be Gomez Jr’s fight though. Is there a boxer that loves this this shit more than him.

The Kash Farooq robbery derailed all the hype.

Wow, big Dave not that popular in his hometown.

If you’re a Dave fan are you keen to see this matchup? I’d rather see him fight somone for the English title as a slight favorite…

Also the undercard was trash…I don’t see how they thought the could get away with that.

[mickey1975]

Gomez is such a dick can he also get a post fight test lol

Probably needs one. He’s been a pro for well over a decade and never looked like has done in his last two fights.

It is a tough sell. Dave is popular so, if you like him, why pay to watch him likely get battered? Spoke to a few from Donny saying this. That said, we could miss a special moment if he pulls it off.

Agreed the undercard is terrible though.

[Kilburn]

Towel came in for McGregor in the 6th.

Suspicious or otherwise, Gomez Jr was an absolute machine there. Looked like he could go for 15 rounds.

[rd350lc]

What an unlikeable character Gomez is.

[Glass Joe]

Gomez does have red flags, engine, being cocky/dick. Recent form.

[Oiky]

gomez jr dished out a hiding there didn't he

[Kilburn]

McGregor finished up looking like Billy Collins.

[keithmoonhangover]

Am I right in thinking the only way Dave wins this is if Hrgovic punches himself out?

[Kilburn]

I’m not aware that Dave has given any indication as to how he will actually win this fight.

What an unlikeable character Gomez is.

That's the first time I've seen him, everything I hate about boxing all rolled into one with him
