Love listening to Dave Allen he’s a real honest gentleman ❤

[@seanr521]

I agree...Nice to listen to someone who just speaks honestly for a change- no BS saying can beat everyone. He also gives interesting insights.

[@GerrySkeptic]

I'll be cheering for you in this one Dave

[@ryanmcdermott3946]

Unrivaled honesty...he would make a standout pundit

[@was786loaded]

That's exactly why he wouldn't make a good pundit, 😂

[@peternagy-im4be]

David Price is better. He would be a brilliant pundit.

[@TheSensimillionaire]

Dave Allen is one of my favourite boxers of all time. What a absolute legend

[@garycaw7101]

😂😂

[@BrianCharles-t6f]

yet dubois spanked joshua for 4 rounds and then punched his clock in the 5th......so by definition what does that make joshua using his own logic? really shit. lol good luck to dave. I'd like to see him as a pundit or commentator once he hangs up the gloves.

[@BOSSMANVETERAN]

I still think dubois is shit hes just a come forward fighter stop that like usyk did with a jab and he aint getting back up lol aswell too be honest aj clearly had issues but dont want too make excuses hands at waist nearly whole fight name one fight where his defence was that bad ill wait chin in the air arm at waist no discredit too dubois on the win he was hungry. Aj showed heart so will see

[@riotuiseb]

I think AJ is shit and overrated. He is nothing but a decorated bodybuilder who can only shine against the likes of Charles Martin, Dominic Breazeale, Helenious, Otto Wallin and mma fighters and gets exposed by decent fighters. who can box or punch. Apart from beating an old Wladimir, who had already been beaten by Fury, who has AJ really beaten? Imo Dubois beats aj again in the rematch.

[@awbox1]

Where this body builder narrative come from? Hes exactly the samw height and weight as lewis was in his prime and both have almosg identical bodys, AJ just has bigger biceps, this "bodybuilder" stuff is just BS, AJ looks how a 6ft 6 heavyweight SHOULD look. Hes 6'6 and only 17 stone, that actually prettt light for someone his height. Staying in great shape doesnt make you a bodybuilder, holyfield and tyson were alot more muscular than AJ were they bodybuilders too? 😂​@@riotuiseb

Great interview. Lovely to see Dave back. Not many honest boxers out there that can cut through the crap and speak through the truth. Best of luck 👍

[@BakoletheGOAT]

By stating someone else is shit, its your sub conscious telling you, that you are shit... Its a simple paradox

[@juntaKhann]

AJ does a lot of projecting , like that time he said lennox lewis is a clown and not on the same level as him . he's a delusional guy whos never been the same since klitschko fight ; he can't trade with anyone decent without getting rocked bad .

[@andrewcohen8734]

No - Joshua is immature and occasionally comes across like a bully. This is why he's unfortunately due multiple slices of humble pie. Dillian told us early in Joshua's career that Joshua isn't what he portrays himself to be, which could be said about many of us.

Literally on the stool seconds before DD iced him, took his soul and turned him into the Australian olympic breakdance contestant he stated DD was shxt. Oh humble Joshy, how you were humbled by the humblest of humbles on humble night eve.

[@samr2332]

@Andrew-is7rs The Humility is Humbling.

[@winnerwinnerchickendinner-y4w]

AJ calling Dubois "shit" is pure jealousy; AJ wishes he had those levels of aggression and fearlessness.

[@heymrguitarman7637]

Another example of why Dave has done well. He is so likeable for several reasons and he had a decent run of wins, made plenty of money and reached him limit. Nothing wrong with that at all. I don't see him beating Fisher purely based on youth and hunger but Dave is capable and might do it. There won't be many disappointed fans if Dave wins because you can't not like the lad

I think Dave is telling the truth here. Just look at how AJ and Hearn treated Dubois on fight week and how AJ's corner were talking about Dubois during the fight. Only makes me want to see AJ get sparked even worse in the unnecessary rematch.

[@markmiller9447]

It's not about how many flights you've had, it's about the amount of big punches to the head. Uysk didn't get hit really apart from AJ and Fury. Allen always been delusional but respect because he always backs himself.

[@heymrguitarman7637]

The thing is, AJ didn't have a bad performance against DDD. He was only properly awake for 2.5 minutes. After the first round knockdown the fight was over so AJ never had chance to have a good or bad performance. Who knows, maybe we were about to see a flagship performance but he got clipped and that was it. We saw he can clearly hurt DDD even when he is almost dead on his feet so he has every right to be confident about the rematch. However, DDD will be more confident than ever and rightly so should start the favourite.

[@bruswain9158]

Tbf though triple D did take that punch v well and recovered to flatten AJ

[@markwilliam3798]

Go well Dave, if we worry, it’s not disrespectful. You have fought good fighters at late notice; we probably will never see the best of you, Happy to be proven wrong though 👍👊
