Allen is psyched up enough. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to help motivate him any more than he already is by Hearn telling him about the large mansion he\u2019ll be able to buy in the UK if he\u2019s victorious.<\/p>\n
\u201cDave says, \u2018I\u2019m very aware I might get sparked out inside three rounds, but I think I can win.\u2019 This is going to be a horrible, gruesome fight. But I truly believe, the shape he\u2019s in and the mindset he\u2019s in, he can win this fight,\u201d said Hearn about Allen.<\/p>\n
White Rhino\u2019s Gamble<\/p>\n
\u2018The White Rhino\u2019 Allen has got the punching power to win, but he\u2019s going to have to direct those punches to the body of Makhmudov to have a chance. He takes headshots well. It\u2019s the body of the 6\u20195\u2033 Makmudov that is vulnerable.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why he fell apart in his loss to Agit Kabayel. In his defeat against Guido Vianello, his left eye swelled badly from the right-hand hits he was getting.<\/p>\n
Vianello was far from impressive in that fight. He fought really aggressively and was able to damage Makhmudov\u2019s left eye early, and continued to work on the injury until the ringside doctor halted the contest in the eighth.<\/p>\n
