Johnny Fisher sneaks narrow points win against Dave Allen despite getting floored on Fury vs Usyk undercard

DAVE ALLEN was robbed of a life-changing Saudi Arabia win over Johnny Fisher. In the battle of the horned heavyweights, Doncaster’s White Rhino battered Johnny ‘The Romford Bull’ Fisher but two idiotic judges handed it to 25-year-old. Fan favourite Allen, 32, had dropped Fisher in the fifth and utterly dominated for the five remaining one-sided rounds.

But Eddie Hearn’s ticket-selling cash cow was gifted a bizarre and worrying win - that the brave fighter should take no blame for. As two of the woeful officials broke Allen’s heart with inexplicable scores of 95-94 Fisher, 96-93 Allen and 95-94 to the shock winner.
Fisher coasted the first round, with Allen barely throwing a punch. The Essex lad’s jab was rapid and piercing and Allen was only able to catch and deflect so many. Eventually Fisher went to work downstairs and drove hooks in Allen’s ribs. The first couple landed neatly but Allen complained the second wave was low.
When he dropped his guard, Fisher ran in and attacked but Allen regained his guard and survived the round. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS. Allen engaged more in the second, looping over a right hand that clipped Fisher on the mullet.
But Fisher kept up his momentum and threw more scoring blows to take the round. If Allen was planning to soak up all the early pressure and take Fisher into the deep late rounds, the scheme was showing promise. The third round was sloppy, both big men seemed to be tiring just a third of the way into the scheduled 10-rounder.
