Dave Allen devastates Johnny Fisher with fifth-round TKO in redeeming rematch victory
When Johnny Fisher and Dave Allen clashed in December, many fans and critics believed Allen did enough to win despite judges giving the split decision to Fisher.
In the rematch Saturday night at Copper Box Arena in London, and live on DAZN , Allen did not leave any lingering questions. After dropping Fisher with a right hand in nearly a mirror image from the fifth round knockdown of their first fight, Allen unleashed a hellacious left hook that slept Fisher for a devastating fifth-round TKO right at the bell.
The referee called an end to the bout just as Fisher's corner threw in the towel as it was clear Fisher would not be able to make it back to his feet for the second time.
At 33-years-old, Allen not only gets redemption following their first clash, but he captures the WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight title
