A mate just text me....... "This is like a Temu stadium fight."

Looks grim there. Stadium fights should be reserved for situations when they are absolutely nessasary.

Mabey the thought they would sell 15000 tickets…

The sad thing is, according to my friend the internet, Donny dome holds about 3600… looking at it that’s about what’s there tonight. So much better to have 3600 Jammed inside screaming than 3600 in the rain at quarter capacity…

They've lost big on this.

Maybe that’s why Hearn didn’t promote it.

Hahahaha

On the plus side main event now

Packed according to Adam Smith

I mean, as a last 5 fights stat goes, it’s not exactly the stuff of nightmares is it.

But can Dave possibly match him. Hard to make a case for it.

Yea… he waited till it got dark enough that it’s hard to see the empty seats to say that…

If things don't go his way, Dave goes into his shell and doesn't adapt.

Too many folks in Donny with a dodgy stick and a thin coat.

Dave Allen saying he doesnt like football probably cost him a few thousand tickets lol

Hrgovic should feel insulted hes fighting Allen and should get him out there by half way

Bit sad that there not even enough in the crowd to sing for Dave… few having a crack but imagine if it was full. Seems like he was ready for it to be going mental… bit of an energy let downs honestly…

I feel like this is going to be a grim watch for a Dave fan…

Just like when BJS boxed in Stevenage. Empty.

Barry Jones fought Acelino Freiras at the Donny Dome, I was there. Mad to think that fight was in Doncaster

Billy Nelson needs to be taking lessons from Jamie Moore in throwing a towel.

Quite a few people have had their bank accounts hacked because of dodgy firesticks.

Someone make some bingo cards for the next time he is on.

I got the quotes:

“there’s the respect”
“This is what boxing’s all about!”
“We’ve got a fight on our hands!”
“He’s digging deep now”
“Toe-to-toe!”
“It’s all on the line tonight”
“A chess match early on”
“The atmosphere is electric!”
“Styles make fights”
“This could go either way”
“He’s hurt him there!”
“All the talk is over”
“It’s heating up now”
**FREE SPACE**
“They’re trading leather!”
“What a response!”
“Can he recover?”
“He’s on unsteady legs”
“This is turning into a war”
“The drama continues!”
“He’s biting down on the gumshield”
“Pure theatre!”
“He’s got to let his hands go”
“A test of heart and will”
“He’s come to fight tonight”
“Edge-of-your-seat stuff!”
“He just had a little look over at the corner there"
“Barrera and Morales!”

Or take a shot when he says any of them

Yeah I’ve always swerved them, personally.

Ouch.

Er.. Dave is biding his time.

Very grim… throw the towel now… round one rtd… this isn’t going to go well.

See the class from english level to world level

Is this fight a bit of an insult to Hrgovic?

I mean he’s been promised a big fight if he comes through.

So for him, I don’t think he minds.
