Trilogy?
No need.
Allen won the first fight despite the bogus scorecards.
Yesterday's blowout left no doubt. Fisher has reached his ceiling, bounced off it, and crashed face first.
Move on, Matchroom.

Eddies obsession with rematches is demented, particularly when he's howling at the moon after his guy got trounced.

No surprise here cuz Hearn only cares about 2 things: money and his public image.

Btw, Dave Allen is now MR's top HW.

I'm not a fan of constant rematches typically but in this instance what else is there for either guy really? Fisher is pretty much done after this and while Allen won what step up name could you put him in with and realistically not have him just get battered? I feel like even a past it Del Boy would beat the **** out of him.

I disagree MRs top heavyweight is Huni which I think will beat Wardley next month and give Hearn a little bit of hope in the heavyweights.

Are Dave Allen and the Romford Bull really that popular? Because neither is that good and I think it's clear Allen is better than Fisher.

Rematch just seems silly unless it is for a lot of money.

I guess David Adeleye would be a good shout for Allen, both of them aren't really any great shakes but it's a winnable fight for either guy and more importantly sellable.

And if Allen wins he's won a the British belt which would be an over achievement for him.

P.S. Also thought about it a bit more there is also the option of Dillian Shyte.

Never saw Fisher before yesterday, but he's a losing bet. Way too fragile to high-level heavyweight boxing.

If this was the post fight interview, in fairness, Eddie said there was a rematch clause, but he personally didn't want it next. He wanted Fisher to build himself back up before considering Allen again...

...then went on to say he resigned Allen and will make a big fight for him lol
