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

[Ruthless-RKO]

Wats his best win?

Is it fisher then? Or Browne?

Browne was more accomplished wasn’t he? I mean. He won the regular belt beating Chagaev.

Fisher was more in his prime than Browne though

[THEBUTCH]

At the time of the fight taking place, the stoppage win over Nick Webb was a very good result for Allen.

Incidentally, Webb suffered a disappointing 2nd round count out defeat this weekend in Germany.

Dave’s best win is a tricky one.

Best win… web? Lucus brown? Fisher…

Had Allen not got robbed in the first fight I think it would be fisher 1… but in a way he exposed fisher in the first fight then beat him in the 2nd so it took a bit of shine of the win.

It’s pretty hard to say.

Nick Web: at the time, undefeated but unproven, solid betting favorite, big guy in his prime.

Brown: at the time, past prime, recently knocked out by Whyte, but an ex world champ*… interestingly after the Allen fight he went on to have a horrific loss vs Gallen (a rugby player), but then also after that had a couple more really solid wins vs fa and opelu. So a mystery.

Fisher: at the time of there first fight was a hyped prospect and very big betting favorite… Dave exposed him but got robbed… then beat him in the rematch…. Which tarnished the victory in the 2nd fight a lot.

It’s probably lucus brown just for the size of the moment and the fact he is an ex “world champ”…. But if fisher goes on to do anything (even a weak British) then it will be fisher.

My thoughts

Pure grifter

Those who know know why he doesn’t train one of his female fighters who he now just manages.

Had a chance to fight full time as a pro and couldn’t be arsed to train and made zero effort to sell tickets. Lied about doing his runs. Gave Hobson the runaround

Ponced various women to pay his bills.

Got binned by Peter Fury for being workshy.

Meant to weigh 230, ate his weigh above 260.

Only time he’s been lighter is when he starved himself as he cannot be bothered to do the hard work.

Uses Joe Hayden to drive him around like a workman/fraggle in my community.

Stole a living being an Everyman. Bone idle.

He’s the opposite of what we should support.

The skeletons are going to come out of Dave’s closet including some of the people’s parents who he trained.

He’s not a good person. It’s a charade and a masquerading mask.

Wow Sean. I view you as a considered bloke. You must know some stuff.

Thanks Frostie. I’ve said my piece it’ll all come out.

You used to be his biggest fan on here, from what I remember? I only started watching his YouTube after you were regularly posting the vids (and I still watch the channel now, although don’t enjoy it as much as I used to when he was mostly talking about his old fights / sparring seasons with the big boys). Sounds like something has made you have a major rethink?

Aye. It’ll all come out.

Even without the insider info that seems to be apparent (and I don't think Sean is the type to intentionally shit stir without evidence) - even just following Dave's career you can see that 1) He doesn't train as he should for a pro and 2) He has got a fair amount of where he is based on his personality rather than his dedication and talent.

Even guys who he has comprehensively lost to haven't fought main evented infront of 20K, called out second, against a top 5 heavyweight - on the back (a tune up aside) a comprehensive points defeat to a top 30 heavyweight. Tony Yoka, Frasier Clarke haven't managed that yet.

This fight really shouldn't have been sanctioned and to think that Jamie Moore was giving off "pull him out" vibes in the corner after the second round - really says alot.

Lovely win over Johnny Fisher, but really Makmudov should have been the end of any "world class" fights. People have seemed to have forgotten that Fisher was well on top in both fights until he just ran out of steam - a bit like some of the Fury fights, its since been hailed as a master class from Allen.

Not even sure he wins the English title (if Adelaye is still the champion) let alone the British. Well no I think Rakeapore would do a number on him, but somehow he is a millionaire.

Far from convinced Allen would beat TKV, but TKV holds no belt now.

He's literally repeating everything Porky says about him. Porky is in the know because he lived near him years ago.
