Johnny Fisher vs Dave Allen 2 Preview
All eyes are on the Copper Box Arena in London this weekend, with a compelling heavyweight rematch taking center-stage on UK shores for boxing fans to feast on.
Johnny Fisher and Dave Allen are set to have their second dance, following their competitive first fight back in December in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 undercard.
‘The Romford Bull’ was awarded the victory after 10 competitive rounds on the judges’ scorecards, despite being knocked down by the ‘White Rhino’ in the fifth round of the contest.
Many people felt Allen was hard done by and deserved to have his hand raised, but it wasn’t to be on the night.
Now, just six months on from their first bout, the pair of British heavyweights are set to do battle once again. Who will get their hand raised this time? We’ll soon find out!
Johnny Fisher vs Dave Allen Rematch Prediction
Despite being the favorite with boxing sportsbooks, we feel that the Fisher vs Allen rematch this weekend could result in a win for the ‘White Rhino’.
After knocking Fisher down in Round 5 of their first fight in December, Allen didn’t quite have the gas tank or fitness to take advantage of the ‘Romford Bull’ while he was wobbling and on unsteady legs.
Not only that, but Allen will know deep down that he can beat Fisher now. He will be fitter, stronger and full of more self belief that he has what it takes to defeat the popular Romford man.
That being said, Fisher is a big puncher and has proved that he has what it takes to switch his opponents lights out.
Expect another highly competitive fight, with Allen eventually getting to Fisher before forcing the stoppage this time around in the second half of the fight.
