Any update on Rock Allen?

[dan_cov]

One of ****m Richardsons sons. He beat Paulie, Cheaterson, Prescott, Alexander and a string of others in the AMs, he got off to a bright start in his pro career but got involved in a serious car accident along with his brother and cousin (both pros) None have fought since.

I haven't heard anything since...

Any update? Are they okay?

He quit boxing a few years before he had that accident, as far as I know. I think I remember reading something from ****m saying he had lost touch with him and Rock had lost his way.

Thanks, such a shame. He seemingly had a bright future in the sport.
I remember seeing a sparring video and thinking 'fawk this guys skilled' may of been with one of the Dirrells.

Just dug around the forums and it appears he got sidelined with a bad shoulder injury, put on a lot of weight in the process and never got back on track. He kept traveling around constantly and ****m couldnt even get ahold of him, according to a Philly poster that trained in his gym.

He was one of Mosley's sparring partners for the Pacquiao fight, and after that the accident. ****m said that when he recovered, he would refuse to train him if asked.

Both him and Tiger stopped fighting, had a bad car accident two years ago.

They are at Schulers Gym on occasion supporting Steve Chambers and Karl Dagran, a member of their fathers concrete jungle. Used to spar with Karl, he'll probably make it far.

His twin Eddie Gomez is doing well. Well, they are short and fight the same it seems.
