It?s fair to see Dave Allen is feeling anxious about his Saturday fight with Arslanbek Makhmudov.

He should be, it looks like a mismatch on paper. Then again everyone expected him to get steamrolled by Fisher. This is a different level though.

Was there any sub-editing done on this? Frazer CLARK? "Some off second best"....

Is it a different level? who exactly has Makhmudov beaten that suggests he’s on a different level? first time he fought a quality opponent he got beaten and got beaten pretty easily due to a lack of skills and mistakes in defence - probably because he didn’t need much defence due to his size until that point.

Dave sounds like he’s in way better shape than the Fisher fight and he had a good engine anyway. My guess is he’ll use similar tactics, close distance, force Makhmudov to work and tire the big man out before closing the show. Kabayal has already given us the blueprint and Makhmudov can’t take body shots.

My money is on Dave to pull off the upset on this one although to me the Makhmudov hype train has already been derailed so wouldn’t really consider it an upset albeit a decent win for Dave should that happen.

Should be a good fight but Allen wins this easy. Makhmudav lost he hype when he lost to Kabayel
