Fisher has maxed out. He hit his glass ceiling almost as hard as Dave Allen punched his lights out last night. Fisher can't reasonably aspire to elite level anymore.
Eddie, no trilogy please. This matchup is done and you can stick fork in it
Move on.
Contrary to the commentary, Fisher didn’t have a good, or even a remotely adequate, jab. Waving your left hand at your opponent isn’t a jab. A good boxer does everything off a jab delivered with snap from the shoulder. It isn’t just, or even mainly, about scoring points. A good jab controls distance. Because Johnny didn’t/couldn’t jab Allen was able to bull him into the ropes and just bludgeon him. TBH I think Fisher should call it a day because boxing is a brutal sport and on that show he will get hurt if he goes on. Look at Joe Joyce. Boxing is not like Rugby.
