The victory has pushed his record up to an impeccable 10 fights without a loss. The two fighters were scheduled to box over six rounds and Allen admitted that he had nurtured high hopes of winning by knockout.

He admitted that this was a daunting task since the Puerto Rican was not a pushover. “This guy is Hispanic and you know how they are; he is as tough as nails,” Allen admitted.

Quizzed on activities at the weigh in session, Allen disclosed the he had no problems making the stipulated weight. He said that he tipped the scale at 170 pounds, the specified weight limit. His opponent tipped the scale two pounds beneath the limit.

Allen explained that his career is now being piloted by one Mario who is a part of a promotional group dubbed ‘Boxing 360.’ A perusal of the internet revealed that the group is indeed authentic and already the managers have contracted several notable fighters to the New York based company.

One of these fighters, Chicago heavyweight, Mike Mollo (19-3-12 KOs) was offered an exclusive promotional contract. Mollo has had victories over Mike Tyson, during his amateur days, former Irish heavyweight champion, Kevin McBride (TKO 2) and Canadian Art Binkowski. Mollo was also involved in epic slugfests against Andrew Galota and Jameel McCline, in their WBA Fedelatin and WBC eliminator bouts.

Allen disclosed that he is expecting another bout within two weeks but is currently awaiting the contract to solidify the deal.

The lanky fighter who returned to the USA some six months ago was precluded from resuming his career because of pressing immigration matters. He has since disclosed that those issues have been amicably resolved paving the way for the resumption of his career. (Michael Benjamin)
