Dave allen on sparring Tony Bellew

[@nomasnofuss8393]

Nice work Dave...love your honesty....you have been in the ring with some of the best so these stories are great to hear !!! ..thanks mate !!

[@dannyhammonds2852]

These videos a class Dave keep them coming pal

[@jamesalandixon]

I was really surprised by how well Bellew boxed off the back foot against Usyk for the first 6 rounds. I think you're right about him being underrated as a boxer.

[@Daxman360]

Cheers Dave. Great video. Just please make sure you are super fit for 12 rounds when you comeback in a well deserved big fight. Do yourself proud. Hate seeing you take punishment and waiting for you to explode when you aren't fit. Give yourself the best advantage. Twighlight years now so make the most of it pal. From the bottom of my heart there mate. 100% genuinely want to see you do well.

[@jacklifeonwheels]

All us fans of dave we want the same for dave.

[@JayJones-gb4pt]

His never been fit his whole career an you think his going to turn up fit and motivated now like Dave but his in it for pay days

[@northdevon999]

A fit Dave Allen beats most of the current crop of prospects, stay away from itauma, pose as the gatekeeper and he can cause a few upsets and whilst earning a few quid

[@JayJones-gb4pt]

@@northdevon999 tell me a fight when there’s been a fit Dave Allen please? 😂

[@northdevon999]

@@JayJones-gb4pt maybe the Lucas Browne fight but other than that I don’t know if he’s really been fit as a pro. His careers pretty impressive considering that he’s barely ever turned up fit

[@connorpicken9251]

One thing that is the same in all these stories is, "i was 20 stone +" love it Dave haha

[@andrewgibbs7279]

These sparring stories are really interesting / revealing 👌🥊

[@watsonbrown9339]

Fantastic these Dave, keep them coming.

[@CW-Design]

Very humble and honest opinions - good to see in boxing.

Thanks for the video, Dave

[@daleysanders8878]

Keep them coming Dave , brilliant content- will you do a video of your memory’s of been at the ingle gym 👍

[@IceReef]

Enjoying these daily insights Dave. Please keep it going!

[@laptopguru7588]

Brilliant content as usual Dave you should write a book best seller incoming

[@matthewbooth5282]

Keep the spar stories coming, they are top draw 👌

[@chrisbirch4150]

I would imagine Haye experienced exactly the same element of surprise in their first fight. Biggest mistake Bellew made was spending most of his career at light heavy. Would likely have a better legacy if he had moved up much earlier.

[@jamessutton8681]

Another brilliant video dave, you need to fight, and get your fighters, hopefully Stevie, a show in Norfolk, we never have boxing events, tyson fury did once at the Norwich show ground.

[@snookerstones]

Most honest guy in boxing - will always give a fair opinion and not base the opinion on whether you like the guy or not

[@sudgur990]

really enjoying your sparring vides, looking forward to the next

[@antonyclavin8477]

Just found your channel. Great videos lad

[@Maurice_Moss]

Tbf, recently Usyk was asked about different fighters, and he said Bellew had the best footwork and speed, which was insteresting.

[@keiganparker7092]

Class Dave ,,, remember bewllew boxed usykkkk and was holding his own ,,, like the vids

[@kevinnshuti906]

Great insight keep em coming

[@TC8787-yq7og]

Great vid again Dave, enjoyed this. Bellew winning 3 ABA's on the spin should have prepared your estimations a bit better though 🤣

[@cianlewis-hughes5172]

Love Dave always genuine, keep up the videos loads of us like your stories & analysing know a lot about the sport, stay motivated Dave! Be good to see you fight 2 build up fights to get your confidence back going again then get a big fight under way confidence winning record is key like AJ done on his rebuild, you first, fuck others

Brilliant vid mate 👏🏻

[@jszenmaster01]

I remember coaching for Mick Joyce in 2000. He always tried to get his fighters to throw first. Really good drills and fitness

[@alexb292]

Love the sparring stories.

[@pete801]

Look at the thumbnail. Serious gynae on Bellew there.

Nice vid 👊👊

[@ghandionascooter]

You have one of the best chins in the devision mate no doubt.

Think your right dave he was outboxing usyk for a good few rounds ,beard looks good mate ,could do with a little trim tho

[@michaelthompson6885]

Nick Webb rates you as a puncher Dave and so does Lucas Browne!!!

[@skies580]

Dagestani Dave

[@Carl-nb7lq]

I agree with you Dave I think to the public he’s underrated I think it’s abit like Callum smith where they never really got the opponents Callum smith is a very good fighter but he either fought people who was past it or p4p fighters likes of canelo an beterbiev there was no sort of inbetween

[@baadfc2022]

100%

[@tomarms3528]

Dave any intention of a return anytime soon?

[@rapman2526]

Have u done any rounds with Tom little bro or matt legg

[@dss-2385]

Can you also say how much you got for sparring each? Would be interesting to hesr

[@teamfergusonboxing5830]

He was big because really he was a heavyweight , that’s what he was in the amateurs

[@CarlMckay-x2q]

One nice fella that. Very humble, well spoken and honest about Bellew. I agree with him about Tony being a nice enough fella but his punditry not good too. But I think Tony Bellew just says it how he sees it and like Froch you either like him or you dont basically.

[@kin3249]

No mate, froch is way more honest. Bellew is not honest at all in his punditry, that's what he's saying in a nice way here.

[@dubmcstep2645]

Uysk said he rated bellew very highly in a few interviews

[@peterianstaker5386]

He fought Usyk and gave him a real fight to be fair.

[@Leefoster10]

Love the stories dave . Big fan but like others said please be ready for your next big fight I honestly feel you can beat majority British level fighters and against frazer I felt you wasn't 100% up for it. Go for it lad give your all and fingers crossed you get the W

[@Leefoster10]

Also what the chances I can spar a round with you 😉 happy travel . Im unfit and not been well but be a dream just do a casual round with you

[@Workandplayuk]

I met a pro cruiser on holiday a couple of years ago and he said he’d sparred you Dave. He said you were a massive puncher, the hardest he’s been in with. He’s called mick learmonth from Leeds he’s at light heavyweight now. Any recollection pal

[@whiterhinoboxing7950]

Good fighter was mick, great athlete, solid puncher and a southpaw, be a handful at 175

[@Workandplayuk]

@@whiterhinoboxing7950 Top man. I’m also good friends with jack massy too have you sparred with him over the years

[@Biter1975]

@@zinlinzin123 Learn grammar!

[@aeonparker-white9306]

I always liked Bellew, even as an amateur when he was a fat lad, he always was a decent boxer and could punch. He evolved into a decent pro like you say, not the greatest in any one aspect but very sound fundamentals and done everything well. I agree with the punditry as well, his bias for matchroom and in particular Anthony Joshua is obvious but like you say connections and allegiences play a big part. You get the feeling that he is loyal and would always back his own, the sort of fella you could rely on when the shit hits the fan and your back is against the wall. Another great video Dave, keep em coming.

[@Carl-nb7lq]

You can tell he’s rotunda trained in that boxing gym they don’t let you spar for ages they spend time working on footwork an the basics of boxing great gym to learn how to box for an amateur if it’s got a fault though you can be sort of overlooked in there because there’s that many good fighters you won’t get the special treatment 😁

[@aeonparker-white9306]

@@Carl-nb7lq just how it should be, as a kid I would see lads come into the gym thinking they were tough, when they were allowed to spar most never came back again, that first stiff jab on the bugle usually seperates the the real fighters from the fakers.

[@Carl-nb7lq]

@@aeonparker-white9306 that’s it they knew though that if you put a young lad who’s never boxed before into a ring against someone who can box all it’s going to do is put that kid off when he could be a good fighter once he learns some trainers an gyms at that time would literally throw someone in with a lad who’s had multiple fights to someone who’s never hit a bag I won’t name the gym but I went to one when I was a kid an there was plenty of dads turning up at the gym angry because there son had been done in by someone who they shouldn’t be in with they had that old school mentality of if you can fight you can fight so it was sink or swim in that gym they usher to joke that they out barbed wire on the gloves in there 😂

[@Carl-nb7lq]

@@aeonparker-white9306 I knew one lad an seriously he was just natural great skill an very powerful but just didn’t have the mentality or heart but if he did he’d of been a contender for sure

[@aeonparker-white9306]

@@Carl-nb7lq Only the bullies would get thrown in, they would be begging to spar thinking they would beat anyone in the gym and wanted to learn the hard way. Those that came back after being humbled, learned from it and turned out to be good boxers.
