Dave Allen vs. Ross McGuigan - 20 June 2026

[2457825]

Kash Ali is back on the Doncaster bill

[MasterG]

What happened to the original opponent?

The card seems to have shrunk a bit as well. I wonder if Allen is the main event, because that's the only way the audience will sit it out.

I got my tickets from Liam Carrigan who is fighting on the card but apart from that fight and Allen it could be an early exit if Allen is on before the main event.

Meaningless fight really isn't it? Not sure where Allen wants to be at? Apparently he paid to get on the card but I don't see the point in this fight.

Maybe as long as he's coming off a win, any win he's always in line for a big money fight.

What happened to the original opponent?

No idea I posted above about how terrible Allen looks in these type of fights and I had to look at his record to get the name of the bloke he fought last time, happened to notice that McGuigan was listed for Saturday.

[SeanBrennan]

Blimey.

[2457825]

Blimey.

Indeed

[MasterG]

Well I've got the 85 quid ringside for the Rotherham show, me and the grandson, hotel stay at Greene King, it's a night out. Few beers and a fried chicken supper.

Then roll on the Donny show

Absolute hedonism.

Hope you have a great one, you from Donny?

I don't think this is going to be absolute pleasure. Not a lot of hedonism for me on this show.

Great stuff, studied that pit as part of my dissertation. It made profit but Thatcher closed it anyway.

My grandad and uncle worked down Yorkshire Main until it closed down. I'll be going back over to Edlo in. Few weeks to take my father in law to The Tumbler. Not really any reason to back now as all my relations have moved to other parts of Donny. Wheatley, Tickill, Balby and Rossington

'Chicken supper' .. KFC or does Doncaster boast another purveyor of 'chicken suppers' ?

KFC not as good as it was in the 90s. The coating has changed. The lad likes Nandos, Popeye or Wingstop or Click Filet. So if there is something like kicking about then we will be going there.

Had a lovey fried chicken meal last night near Carlton in Barnsley. That was sound.

[SeanBrennan]

260 I’d say

[SeanBrennan]

Good to see Kash Ali out though

[jameswilson]

1st round KO win and I reckon he could beat Zhilei Zhang boys.

[margaret thatcher]

tire him out and wear him down

[MasterG]

It's only a 4 rounder so I expect it to go the 4. If McGuigan has other fights booked he won't want knocking out.

Yeah two booked including one a week after

It's a meaningless fight, so why bother trying and knock out McQuigan and take away his next payday? Dave will know that and just use this as a bit of a kick about. Also I expect to see Dave a few loose pounds around his belly too.

Agree this is a move around

Unremitting body attack Iike Kabayel

He says himself he is a poor man’s Kabayel……
