Allen v Price
Another jab catches Allen's nose. The White Rhino lands a good upper cut as he looks to retaliate having been on the backfoot for pretty much three rounds.

Methodical jabbing from Price is not giving Allen the chance to attack.
If Allen does decide to throw caution to the wind now will he be caught cold?

Allen v Price
A left hand from Price lands flush on Allen's face.
The Doncaster De La Hoya shrugs it off, but his mush is all the redder for it.
The big Scouser will be happy with that.

Allen v Price
Price tests Allen with some jabs early doors, but they fail to land.
Allen is content to stand back and see what Price's intentions are.
Price's reach, understandably, is far greater than his opponent's. His biggest weapon tonight?

First David Price.
Here he is walking in to the arena to the tune from The Good, Bad and The Ugly.
