00:01seven nights ago
00:02I expected to take a step back
00:04don't throw deliberate punches
00:06on the back of the head
00:07but take yourselves at all times
00:09here we go
00:11we saw the savage
00:13brutality
00:14an unbelievable
00:17Dubois-Wardley clash
00:19last week
00:21now it's another tale
00:24is it a tale
00:26of Filip Pergovic's
00:28re-ignition
00:30in the heavyweight division
00:32in 2026
00:33or
00:34can Dave Allen
00:36pull off
00:37what would be a massive
00:40massive upset
00:42and as well
00:43the biggest win
00:44of his career
00:45in the blue trunks
00:47looking for that
00:48huge right hand early
00:49Betty and George
00:50his kids
00:51on either side of the waistband
00:53El Animal
00:54in front of him
00:55the former amateur star
00:57and
00:58solid professional
01:00Filip Pergovic
01:01what a night
01:03well the first battle
01:04that he's got
01:04Dave Allen
01:05is to get inside
01:06this jack
01:07of Pergovic
01:07who's landed already
01:09two or three heavy
01:10right hands
01:13with heavyweight boxing
01:15Barry on fire
01:17it really is
01:18fight upon five goals
01:19good fights
01:20good matches
01:20and even though
01:22this is a massive
01:23underdog in this fight
01:24Dave Allen
01:24if he can look to be a little
01:26more elusive than he has
01:27in the past
01:27make Hergovic miss which
01:29he's not doing well now
01:30but if he can do that
01:31in that big right hand
01:32that he has
01:33can get into play
01:34and maybe just
01:35force something
01:36out of Hergovic
01:36tries to get his jab going
01:39Alan
01:39Hergovic with the height and reach advantage
01:42and looking for the crushing right hands
01:45there's a couple
01:46he's always had a good chin
01:47Dave Allen
01:48tough even though he's got
01:50the losses on the record
01:52and he's been sparring
01:54with the very best
01:55and in pockets of form
01:56can look really good
01:58but
01:59can he sustain it
02:00against a man like Hergovic
02:02that's the shot there
02:03the jab to the body
02:04he can't afford to telegraph
02:06that overhand right
02:07he needs to set up
02:08that right hand
02:08with the jab to the body
02:09on the flip side
02:10we've already seen Hergovic
02:12just keep it nice and simple
02:14nice and long
02:15very accurate
02:16isn't he
02:16with the shots Hergovic
02:18playing right hand there
02:19from Hergovic
02:20that goes beyond the
02:21going the glove there to Valens
02:23he's thrown a few right hands already
02:25hasn't he Barry
02:27Hergovic
02:28yeah I think Alan's going to try and be
02:30over that flip knee with his chest
02:31and try to slip them punches going forward
02:37really going for it early
02:39Filip Hergovic
02:40with that jab as well
02:42that was the
02:43possible
02:45tassel with Moses
02:47it's how that's being touted
02:48Hergovic
02:49looks good tonight
02:51and doesn't get cutt or injured maybe
02:53for this summer
02:54what a test that would be
02:55for Itauma
02:57but
02:57he's got to get through this first
02:59and he has cut up
03:00in his last three fights
03:02that might be
03:02a chance for Alan
03:04but his right hands are heavy
03:05and the left hook to the body there from Hergovic also
03:08yeah he just changed it didn't he
03:09threw that right hand
03:10went on the side of the head
03:11of Dave Alan
03:13then he dropped that left to the body
03:14kept his balance really well
03:16in this opening round
03:17Hergovic see just
03:20sliding out of range there
03:21just missing that overhand right
03:22he's got to be a lot more cute with that
03:24can't telegraph that right hand
03:26Dave Alan
03:27yeah it's a very positive start this from Filip Hergovic
03:30looking like a man on a mission
03:32and Dave Alan shipping these punches
03:34and there's some hard ones here
03:36back into the first round
03:38and that's a big one for El Animal
03:41Filip Hergovic
04:00so when you're holding your feet too long
04:02it's going to get some success eventually
04:05the first two or three shots
04:08the first two or three shots
04:09you're really riding nice
04:11yeah but either pivot out off one of the shots
04:15or when you're coming in put a close on
04:19because when you're going in
04:20you start to chop it down the back of the head
04:22doing your close hands
04:23yeah okay
04:23sorry
04:24I know
04:2510 seconds for
04:27you know what you're trying to do
04:28careful dipping logo
04:29trigger
04:30trigger
04:30trigger
04:31seconds out
04:32Dave just having a word with Steve Creighton
04:34some of those were at the back of the head
04:37Jamie Moore and Nigel Travis who've been around Dave Alan
04:41so much in recent times and physically he's as good as he's ever going to be at this stage of
04:48his career
04:49the problem is that Filip Hergovic has had a bit of a second wind in his journey
04:55he's found some form again
04:58number five in the world as a heavyweight and Dave's I don't know 50-60 somewhere
05:03it's a massive goal
05:04it's that right hand over the top that's the best shot there with a bit more weight than it for
05:09Alan
05:09but I think he needs to be trying pushing forward when he's throwing the shot
05:13and just trying as you said earlier on down in the first one just try and slip inside that jab
05:17there
05:17and look at the total touch has landed
05:19Hergovic strength and fire to the nine of Dave Alan's
05:24nice job
05:24oh wow
05:26oh wow and that's what he honed in realities which got him so many medals in the unpaid ranks
05:33very solid schooled well hits hard I mean it's surprising he hasn't lifted a world title really
05:41and this is the pace that he'll like to fight at because this is not really exerting for him
05:45so he can get the jab in the play through that one-two without any pressure
05:49and Alan we always have thought was Alan to make him work harder than he wanted to work
05:54he's fighting his fight isn't he Hergovic keeping it long holding the center of the ring
05:58even there when he's advancing he's keeping his legs nice and right away Hergovic not
06:03not over reaching
06:03no punch
06:04a little short right uppercut went inside there from Dave Alan
06:09getting that right hand though just took the sting on the dinner there
06:12body shots as well from Hergovic who's thudding away Alan back with a jab
06:19these are serious punches that Alan's having to take
06:22look at the distance he's maintaining here Hergovic you can get the full leverage on those shots
06:27just doesn't smother his work does he at all
06:30and Alan's trying to sit there we'll try to get him in and get him close to hold and turn
06:34he's not he's not falling for the bait here
06:37what was Carl saying he's one of the best four-round fighters in the world the very best
06:41and he he's showing it here early Hergovic he can be slightly unpredictable he went a bit of a
06:48war come out against Gillet Zhang in Saudi and of course Daniel Dubois overcame him
06:54but at the moment so far so good for the Croatian team yeah he's got to try and counter with
06:59that left
07:00with Dave Alan when he's on the ropes don't be really sharp with it don't be too wide for the
07:04shot
07:05get that elbow high the knuckles down
07:09there's that right hand doubling up Alan takes it
07:15there's an answer isn't it for everything Alan's trying to do here from Hergovic at the minute
07:21he's having to defend himself from an onslaught early doors Dave Alan and what's that taking
07:26out of him so that the left hook he threw it there but he just didn't commit to the shot
07:30oh look at that
07:31right hand he just sanks back on the ropes there Dave Alan who had that fight against
07:35Makhmedov and just sort of ran out of ideas was outboxed at times and is this about levels that was
07:42clever there from Hergovic at the end there can he went to throw a loop in right hand and threw
07:45it on the middle
07:51well they got a big job in that blue corner he's got talent he's got ability and there's no pressure
07:58on Dave Alan really he's controlling Hergovic here is controlling the space the tempo of the
08:04fight all the things that Alan had to get hold of early to try and you know get the dividends
08:09later on in the fight it's all on what Hergovic wants to do and when he wants to do it
08:14at the minute
08:16hands tight Connor Walker style what a fight that was a couple of weeks ago Walker and Sam
08:29Eggington who's retired we wish him well how much left in the Dave Alan story but fight number 36 he's
08:37won 25 lost eight drawn two we all know the story the sort of nearly man he had that double
08:43with
08:43Johnny Fisher now he's in with Philip Hergovic who's had a pretty perfect first six minutes but can
08:51Alan stay with him yeah he wants him Jamie Moore to get closer no regrets start roughing Hergovic up he's
08:58trying to creep forward Dave Alan stuck that jab to the body the right hand over the top but look
09:03at that
09:04left to the body from Hergovic a nice little slip to the right hand side after if Alan can keep
09:09that head
09:10moving as he's coming forward not with massive effort just keep Hergovic looking for the target as he's
09:15coming forward he'll slip a few and he'll get close with that but the chest goes over the front knee
09:19here for
09:20Alan it was a slight question mark about stamina with Philip Hergovic but he's big time with Abel Sanchez in
09:27big
09:28better look better especially in that terrific fight with David Adelaide no even Sanchez in the corner
09:33tonight no he said he would be but he's not here
09:41heads in there but look at that when he just picks the shots Hergovic and as Youssef gets to leverage
09:50the
09:51distance Barry but he needs to change the pace of the shots now Hergovic you've got a target there
09:55that's not hard to find for him so when he throws that right down down the pipe it's a heavy
10:00shot but
10:01Alan can see it and he's got such a great chin he can absorb it for now so if you
10:05change the pace of that shot
10:10it's a heavy heavy artillery from the Croatian giant
10:11looking for the upper cut just missing with that left hook afterwards
10:16we'll try to get the left off
10:19Dave Adelaide admitted after the Magneto fight how hard the Russian lion hit and what about this from Filip Hergovic
10:28Alan Brady tries to come back with a goal but heavy heavy artillery from the Croatian giant
10:36it takes some sort of maniac to be swinging like that wildly like Alan did that
10:42big right hand again I think that hurt Dave just in front of us he's gonna be so brave here
10:49in front of his
10:50beloved home fans but Hergovic is intent on delivering a big heavyweight statement Jamie
10:58Moore having a look the towel is in the hand there is 35 seconds left in the third Dave's gotta
11:05show
11:05something heavy heavy heavy shots from David Moore to see the mark in his head at Steve Craig he's seen
11:14enough
11:15Filip Hergovic wins within three rounds and does get the message out there to the heavyweight division that
11:24he's still very much a force and will be knocking on the door for a world title till but for
11:31Dave Allen
11:31it was a bridge too far they called it David and Goliath he was always a big underdog
11:39Hergovic did what he had to do he was meticulous from the opening bell he kept it simple jabs right
11:46hands a question I think Barry Jones of levels and that's boxing
11:52hey what but we're saying that Dave Allen's been saying that on paper I shouldn't be I shouldn't be in
11:56the
11:56same ring with him I'm paraphrasing what he said but I mean and that's what it was tonight he was
12:00just
12:00out of his depth and that's it that sometimes you don't know what you take that step but it's
12:04way too far it was but you know listen Allen's though whatever happens with Allen you know he's
12:09a guy who was just brave who believes in himself and it's taken him so far and now he just
12:14you know
12:15he's been boxing the stadium but for Hergovic it was an easy night's work that's the truth of it
12:19it was it was punch perfect wasn't it the balance the accuracy the shot selection it was just on point
12:25everything was flooding and looking very hurtful Jamie Moore doing exactly the right thing saving
12:31Dave Allen for further punishment but what an opportunity this was for Dave Allen it didn't go
12:37his way but this would have been beyond his wildest dreams to headline here at this stadium I remember
12:45Darren when you were training him all those years ago and and he was sort of always the nearly man
12:51what he's
12:51put himself in the picture he's been a fabulous advert character for British boxing whatever he does
12:58now he'll be he's look he's he's devastated he's in front of his home fans but it was the right
13:04call
13:04Hergovic was in total control but what's going to happen with Hergovic now that's the exciting part
13:09now where does he go next Moses and Talma in the summer bring it on Barry you matchmaking now I
13:15am
13:15I want it and we're going to be there for this as well who's sick and Rico next Saturday
13:22we're in Egypt by the pyramids can Rico pull off the impossible Alexander Rusick the supreme heavyweight
13:33live on the zone next Saturday night Dave Allen hold your head up you're a hero for British boxing
13:40Philip Hergovic take on Moses and Talma in the summer and keep this year bubbling beautifully
13:50ladies and gentlemen here is the official time two minutes 37 seconds of round number three
13:58the blue corner retires their fighter and our referee Steve Gray accepts their retirement therefore your
14:06winner by way of technical knockout and now both the IBF Intercontinental and WBA Continental Gold
14:16heavyweight champion Philip El Animal Hergovic
14:27great to see the respect between the pair Dave Allen leading the applause he knows boxing and he knows he
14:35was in with a much better man Philip Hergovic 20 and one the new record a couple of belts there
14:41as well
14:42and what is the path ahead for him so many options in this thrilling heavyweight division we saw
14:52one of the great fights last week and we've seen a very dominant performance tonight from Hergovic he did
15:01and we expected him to do at some point maybe quicker
15:04God.
