No, Allen looks the frontrunner.

Allen is the opponent for December 10th, it's been confirmed.

Bad news.

No disrespect to Dave Allen, but he’s a one-dimensional stereotypical typical 'stalk-til-they-can't-walk' type fighter that has been specifically-selected by Eddie Hearn as a reputation-building sacrificial lamb, with the sole aim to rebuild Luis Ortiz’s “fearsome” status in the sport.

When the Cuban quickly disposes of his limited opponent, I really hope that people refrain from riding the Luis Ortiz hype train.

Allen # 85, BOXREC, HW rating, today....sad, very sad........

Lol, that's 17 days from now. Not sad at all. Best you could hope for.

Allen is young, he's got that going for him. Only loss is by points to Whyte, that's no disgrace.

Eddie Hearn was orchestrating Luis Ortiz's December 10th fight during mid-October.

A successful businessman like Eddie Hearn almost certainly considers his strategic calculations several moves ahead whenever he manoeuvres his proverbial chess pieces.

I expect Allen to lose all rounds, but not to get KOed, he got an impressive chin.

Well... it appears that I was right!

"Luis Ortiz has eye on future heading into bout vs. Dave Allen"

If Ortiz defeats Allen as expected, Hearn told ESPN he would like to match him with Whyte (19-1, 15 KOs) -- should Whyte defeat former world title challenger Dereck Chisora (26-6, 18 KOs) on the Dec. 10 card. And should Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) defeat Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) and then defeat former world champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs) in a fight planned for March or April, Hearn said he would eventually like to give Ortiz a shot at Joshua.

The Briggs fear is palpable anybody catch him on the Rogan podcast?

Allen will be clubbed to defeat inside 6. it'll be a scrappy frustrating fight.

terrible matchup to make but at least its a quick return for Ortiz. normally a top fighter wouldn't be seen in the ring again for at least 3 months.
