Allen is stolen

Many boxing fans complained about the outcome of the fight, feeling that Fisher, 25, promoted by Eddie Hearn, should not have won the fight. Fisher was dropped hard by a left hook from Allen in the fifth round and was hurt more in the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth rounds. It looks like Allen did more than enough to get the decision, but not with this crew or the judges.

Fisher landed a lot of punches in the final five rounds, but Allen was repeatedly rocked when he hit hard and was forced to clinch. The shots Fisher was landing had no effect on Allen, who ran through them and nailed him with shots that stunned him.

Fisher’s illegal tactics

Use Fisher Illegal straight arm Throughout the fight, especially in the latter half, to keep Allen at bay. The referee did nothing about this move. It was interesting to note that. Without this simple tactic, it’s hard to imagine Fisher surviving.

If the contest had been held in the United States, the referee would have warned and penalized Fischer for the straight arm as this was his main tactic, along with excessive tightness, to prevent Allin from eliminating him.

The scores were 95-94, 95-94 for Fisher, and 96-93 for Allen.

Hern Spin

“I think the best I could hope for when I got into the ring was a draw. That’s the way I see it. Johnny Fisher won 100% in the first four and 12 rounds.” [correction: This was a 10-round fight, NOT a 12-rounder. Hearn has got it wrong]Eddie Hearn said EFL TVarguing about why his fighter, Johnny Fisher, deserved to beat Dave Allen last Saturday night.

“he [Fisher] He definitely won five rounds. Now, if you give Allen every other round and the knockout [in round 5]wins the fight by one point. Now, if you give Johnny Fisher a sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth, Johnny Fisher will win the fight. I’m not sure he did. “I have to watch it again,” Hearn continued.

“My real reaction was: ‘We can lose this fight by one point, or we can draw.’ I think Johnny Fisher was very lucky to win the fight. What I will tell you is that he showed a lot [courage] And a lot of bottle. We know he’s got that in him. Tonight we are [three-year professional Fisher, 25] We suffered from lack of experience and lack of tours [41 as a pro, resulting from too many mismatches]“I thought Dave Allen was great,” Hearn said.

Hometown advantage?

If there is a Fisher-Allen rematch, it would be a good idea to hold it in a neutral zone. Hearn says he wants the rematch to be held in London Fisher’s birthplace. This is not a good thing for Allen, who is from Yorkshire. This means the crowd will be in favor of first-side Fisher, and we could see another controversial decision awarded to him based on hometown advantage.

“I want to do a rematch. It’s the fight to be fought in London, big crowds and Dave Allen gets another chance. Johnny Fisher is in the hospital now. He’s been checked out, he’s fine. He had to have his [left] Ear drained, but he’s fine. This is the most important thing. It was a very, very close fight. “I thought Johnny Fisher was lucky to get the win, but I can claim a breakaway,” Hearn said.
