Dave Allen vs. Ross McGuigan - 20 June 2026

[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

Hope you have a great one, you from Donny?

Edlo, born and bred

Absolute hedonism.

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

I live not too far from Tickhill lovely place

'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……

Dave Allen - The only boxer who seems to be allowed to write his own reviews.

[MasterG]

Coincidentally I'm from Carlton near Wakefield (though I haven't been near the place for over 20 years) apparently Dave Allen lived in a B&B there when he trained with Dean Marsden (yet another person Allen has discarded/fallen out with)

New Miller Dam is nice down that way. I want to move to Carlton or possibly Roysten in a few years time

[Floydendizer]

Dave worked as a supply teacher while he trained in Rothwell / Leeds actually trained by Michael Marsden brother of Dean who was an ex Pro aswell , from what I remember Mick got Dave in great shape for the Lenroy Thomas fights .

He’ll have been a cover supervisor without QTS he’s not got a GCSE to his name

Something I've been considering is getting a level 3 teacher assistant qualification, as now it seems I may have got my big toe through the door of Temple Moor High School.

The Level 3 TA course is only 300 quid and it's a way forward

Just enrolled with CTC courses £270.

This should go hand in hand with my youth work qualifications and hopefully open a few other doors

Well done and the very best of luck with it

I can almost semi understand why Dave has been out of shape pretty much always since that fight. He got in really good shape for that fight which was for the Commonwealth title and the random fight where there's a cut that makes it a TD happens to be that fight. I felt like there was a bit of a 'what's the point' after that.

tire him out and wear him down

Or maybe tie him down and wear him out.
