Dave Allen being fed to Luis Ortiz was a disgrace!

[W1LL]

Dave Allen, a young pup, being fed to the #1 ranked (on Boxrec) fighter in the division. What's that about? This young man has a little promise but needs to be built up the traditional route of national titles, eventually moving on to European whilst learning his trade and gaining the necessary experience. Throwing him in with the boogeyman is my only gripe with this Matchroom card.

He and his team accepted the fight.

It's an unfortunate consequence of Hearn's priority being to protect Joshua. Keep Joshua and Ortiz apart by feeding them cans or unseasoned guys, until Ortiz's skill diminishes through age.

It's a shame that there are two good heavyweights on the same card, but the Promoter doesn't have the balls to put his golden boy in a challenge.

[Robbie Barrett]

I agree though. Hearn could have found a guy at the end of his career to put in there instead of a youngster still learning.

Welcome to boxing.

You will see about 30 one sided barely legal beat downs the entire year and about 1-3 quality fights!!

Have fun being fan!!

They needed somebody they thought would make Ortiz look good after the Scott fight
