Efficiency and Grit: How Allen Beat Fisher

On May 17, at the Cooper Box Arena in London, United Kingdom, a heavyweight rematch (over 90.7 kg) took place between British fighters Johnny Fisher (13-1, 11 KOs) and David Allen (24-7-2, 19 KOs).

After a controversial loss in the first bout, Allen secured a stoppage victory in the rematch, showing a much more convincing statistical advantage.

Despite throwing fewer punches (124 to Fisher’s 177), Allen once again surpassed his opponent in efficiency — 41.1% accuracy compared to 25.4%. This time, he also threw more power shots (73 vs 66) and landed them with better precision — 46.6% to 40.9%.

In the jab department, Allen reaffirmed his edge: 33.3% accuracy compared to 16.2% for Fisher — figures that echo the trend from their first fight. Allen also led in body shots — 19 to 13, while both fighters landed an equal number of head punches — 32 each.

The turning point of the bout came in the fifth round: Fisher was knocked down, and after a prolonged barrage of punches, his corner threw in the towel.
