Makh should fight in UK/on DaZN again - he's a fun watch and great test.

He feels similar to Zhilei Zhang. Not a Southpaw, but similarly powerful, similar stamina issues. Fairly good skill and accuracy. Leaky defense.

He'd definitely make for many interesting and fun fights.

Zhang is a bit old now, but he was much better than Makhmudov in his window of success. Zhang wouldn't have needed to do all of that holding against Dave Allen.

I think that was a joke.

Try not to hit it too hard mate, you'll have things to do tomorrow.

Can't do one and have never done the other, don't get the fascination, but I'm an old boy.

Cocaine is the best thing in the world, until it's the worst thing in the world. Luckily, I got out nearer the start the finish.

Allen vs Whyte. They can sell it as Allen trying to get a win back.

Makh surely done enough to get the next Itauma fight (well the one after December)

Put them both on the same card early(ish) next year.

i guess it shows how limited dave is when mak outboxes him like that, never seen mak box once like that pro or am, always been a slugger

It's really big now I've heard, never had the time or inclination, each to their own.

A woodentop at that.

I always thought it was rubbish, totally overrated.

Ecstasy on the other hand

Personally I’d like to see Dave retire now. Get out in one piece.

dave should donate himself to science when hes called it a day so they can study his freak chin

Abysmal quality from both fighters.

Surely he'll make more at HW, also he's a big old lad about 18 stone I think

Was it though? Or are you just judging 260lbers to the same eye test you judge 147s too?

Jamie Moore said it when he was spoken to afterwards

The atmosphere tonight was brilliant. Right up there with any I've been to.

Yeah U.K. crowds are the best. I've switched to the Ennis vs Lima card now. You'll likely see more talent on display in the Main Event, but the enthusiasm of the crowd won't even be half what it was for the Allen/Mahkmudov fight.

I love that about him. It's the neck as thick as his head and the tiny eyes.

Congrats to Big Mak, he improved his stamina and was throwing for all 12 rounds.
Dave just got out worked by some pretty basic boxing- the sort of stuff they teach in the first six months of youth amateurs.
Goes to show again how dangerous Kabayel is, he chopped Mak down fairly handily.

USE it DON.T abuse it . Until you grow out of it and that goes for all drugs and alchahol

The DAZN highlights made it look like Allen would've won but looked like he made a good showing of himself but ultimately, there's lovely to the game

even adam smith at the final bell said flat out, without any could go either way nonsense, that big mak had won. that tells you something in a fight where mak had 2 deductions

big mak soooooo slow in there, but credit to him, he boxed exactly how he should have and was obviously keeping an eye on not gassing. he knew what his weaknesses were and where allen could potentially make a dent. not many fighters box a completely diff style at 37.

btw, also a good night for big mak conqueror guido vianello, who was brought in as the opponent on the usa dazn show but stopped unbeaten canadian alexis barrier

guido would be a good test for moses. hes a tough guy with some decent mobility and skills who can offer some things for moses to think about.

mak is a big lump with power, but he'd just get lit up. dont really see him providing a fight that would help moses develop
