Croatian heavyweight Filip Hrgović (33) secured a decisive victory over Dave Allen (34) with a technical knockout in the third round of their match in Doncaster, England. Allen's corner threw in the towel to save him from severe punishment. This win marks Hrgović's 20th career victory, his third in a row, and his 15th knockout.
From the very first second, Hrgović demonstrated his dominance in the ring, immediately taking control and forcing Allen against the ropes with a barrage of punches. He convincingly secured the first round. The same scenario continued into the second round, with Hrgović combining head and body shots, while Allen's attempts were short-lived and ineffective.
Complete Dominance and Third-Round Stoppage
Allen barely survived the second round, visibly battered by Hrgović's powerful blows. The end came in the third round. Hrgović's right hand consistently broke through Allen's guard, forcing him to clutch the ropes to catch his breath. After a series of punches drove Allen to the brink of a knockout, a towel from Allen's corner signaled the end of the fight.
This is a clear demonstration of Hrgović's power and technique — a masterclass! But can Allen bounce back and prove he's not just a punching bag? Let's see what the future holds!
