That is exactly what it turned out to be with the fight, such was the levels between them, somewhat uncomfortable to watch. That sentiment was shared by some last weekend when Fabio Wardley was stopped in the 11th round by Daniel Dubois following a titanic bout that surely lasted a little too long. Mercifully, this one ended at the right time. Wardley’s trainer Ben Davison had received criticism about his decision not to pull out his fighter when the contest looked beyond the reach of Wardley. Allen’s trainer, however, seemed to make his mind up early that it wasn’t his man’s night and threw in the towel at 2:37 of round three before things turned really ugly and with Allen, typically, still on his feet.
