That was like watching a 50 year old bloke, who could ruck a bit as a youth, having a brawl outside a pub with a highly trained 25 year old squaddie - who was taking it easy on the drunken old sod.
It was disappointing.
Not even a good stay busy for Hrg, he needs second tier guys.
It was like a heavyweight prospect in there 2nd-3rd fight against a no hoper

What a shithouse Gomez is.
Did something happen pre fight or is he always a twat?

To be fair Mickey1975, you just took an unnecessary cheap shot at AJ
How? It was 100% correct!

No, mate, I'm just one of the minority who gets pissed off when you spam the forum. I read X and watch interviews, I don’t need to go through it all again dozens of times a day. I can’t block you because you're a mod!

I think everyone is missing the point when criticising the attendance and Allens performance. This was a Queensbury show to showcase Herg and build his name here to fight Itauma. Dave was the perfect opponent. He drives massive numbers on social media and was an easy win. It was never a Doncaster homecoming for Allen.

What’s reading X and watching interviews got to do with anything though? I do that doo.

He's just being a twat because you hurt his feelings for clearly pointing out his suspicious agenda against Joshua. The forum would be struggling without your posts tbh

That was poor, he was outclassed from the start. I like Dave but he showed his limitations and has milked the honest nice guy, bloke next door, everyone’s mate routine now and probably wise to retire. I know he’s mentioned fighting for the British title but doesn’t Riakporhe hold that, that isn’t a great fight for Dave. Not sure where he goes from here.

First time I seen Allen was when he fought Dillian Whyte, and I remember being impressed in a (this lad could be decent) sort of way with some good coaching, like I'm not going to pretend it was close, but he made Whyte work and looked hard as nails and like he had an engine on him and if he moved his head and let his hands go a bit more he would cause people problems. This was peak whyte and he couldn't put a dent in Allen and seemed happy to hear final bell, even though before this is taken out of context it was a shut out. But Allen was a novice and I thought he could be decent
Was probably the best he ever looked 10yrs ago now, think Yoka did more damage than you'd think to him, his psyche maybe more than anything else.

Not sure, he was an eejit but did touch gloves out of respect in round 5 when Lee lost his gum shield and went to Lee and his corner afterwards with some decorum.
Maybe he’s just really into hip thrusts….

I think this is one of those let’s all get along moments. Ditto Spud and John, life is too short to be falling out on forums.
Unless it involves me of course in which case I’ll cry and send overly emotional posts.

It was a homecoming though. Otherwise they could have had it in a better location. Or as a co-main to another bigger headliner.
Fighting at the stadium was always something he wanted to do, so he can tick that off now.

Mickey1975, sorry mate...don't agree. No disrespect to Allen but last night's fight with Hrgovic was embarrassing to watch.
The gulf in ability was hideous to witness
AJ's performance against Dubois was disastrous but Joshua still had a few fleeting moments of success...and the fight was worth watching from an entertainment perspective.
I think your comparison was wide of the mark and might have been intended to ruffle a few feathers

It can get a bit OTT tho - I clicked on the Rousey thread this morning for the first time, just out of interest to see what people had been saying before the fight, and nearly every single post was from you pasting long articles, nearly gave myself RSI scrolling through, in the end I just abandoned it

I watched the first painful round and turned it off,
A world class heavyweight pounding on some hopeless bloke from the pub, with the autistic Smith’s incessant yakking made the whole thing unwatchable, thank god
Ruthless All your articles, posting and updates here are fantastic. Don’t stop

If you’re not interested in a certain fight or event that that’s on you. (Not you personally, but people in general). No one needs to engage where they don’t want to. I mean that’s an MMA fight, this is a boxing forum, so gonna get less interest in that regardless.
It doesn’t harm anyone though does it? Not taking anything away from anyone.
Don’t see why it would even piss anyone off. Don’t click it. Simple.
