Anybody know what happened to Rock Allen?

[THE REED]

train with rock and his brother bear. My trainer watched them all come up (the third brother's Tiger).

Rock just won't sit still. Traveling from state to state every other weekend. Has gotten pretty heavy, too.

he should've been way ahead of guys like Lamont Peterson in the 140 division, but...**** happens.

What's he doing with all this traveling?

Did he make decent money with his prospect fights or something?

Honestly, i don't know why he doesn't sit still. His brother Bear is a heavyweight, and with the way the division looks right now could still be something incredible. I want to say he's doing good as a sparring partner for people but I don't know for sure if he's even getting work that way. naz trains his nephew and Cunningham at a little gym called Schullers - I'm there every tuesday and thurs for the last year and have yet to see rock lace up for a hard workout.

Whenever Naz talks about him, it's always the same thing " I can never get a hold of rock.. whenever i call him and ask him where he's at.. he's always in a different state ". Lol.. he really coulda took 140 by force i think, be up there as a interim champ or more.

Maybe he likes the night life. A guy to watch out for though, IMO, Eric 'Outlaw' Hunter. When he's motivated (which he finally is now) he's an animal, and I think featherweight is open enough for a guy with his finesse to do damage. and of course Danny Garcia.

It's a damn shame to hear all of this, seriously...

The last I remember is he had a bad shoulder injury. I think that was either during or shortly after his last fight in 2009. I'm guessing he's still recovering from that.

Shoulder injuries can be no joke. Just look at jeff lacy

right on, hopefully Rock will be back soon.

the shoulder aint no joke, rotator cuff injuries are brutal and can take forever to fully recoup.

like you said, look at lacy, his whole fight game and promotion was the "left hook", now the guy can't even throw it and if he can, he's afraid to because he's afraid he might re-injure his shoulder, kind of sad really.

You sound like a prophet now man. Eric Hunter's time looks like Friday night against Luis Franco. I can see Hunter dominating this fight from the third round on. Maybe even stopping Franco late.
