Fisher vs Allen: Best Bets for May 17
Their first encounter was very much a story of two halves, with Fisher bossing the first four rounds before Allen dragged him into a fight, scoring a knockdown. It was a close fight, but we felt Allen did enough like many, but it’s clear from Thursday’s presser that both are confident coming into this rematch.
One thing’s for sure, when I get that crowd behind me, I am what I am. I go in there and it’s gonna be a tear-up. So, as much as I can train other ways and do this, I’m gonna go toe-to-toe and there’s not much choice I have in that matter because that’s the way I’m wired,” said Fisher at the final presser.
Allen was equally confident: “Something just clicked that night [against Fisher]. I don’t know what it was. It clicked on the way to the ring and I really enjoyed the 10 rounds we had…I’ve never actually looked forward to a fight. This one can’t come quick enough…”
Looking ahead to Johnny Fisher vs Dave Allen at the Copper Box, both TJ Rives and Dan Rafael backed Fisher to win by KO at +150, with TJ also taking the under 8.5 rounds at +130. Listening to both at Thursday’s press conference, this rematch is likely to produce fireworks from the opening bell.
