Round two:
Allen is allowing Browne to throw first far too often and at some point, taking punch after punch will take its toll.
Browne is putting combination punches together as Allen looks to respond with some body punches.
I'd give that one to Browne. He landed some good punches. Allen needs to get his feet and head moving.
A HUGE body shot drops Browne and the Australian has absolutely no reply. Incredible scenes at the O2!
Dave Allen
I needed to win, I had to win. I've beat a former world champion at the O2. It's a very good win.
Dave Allen
He's a very good boxer. I need big fights, I need Darren Barker by my side.
Dave Allen
This is one of the best nights of my life. I got into boxing because I wanted to make my dad proud. I'm the most famous man in Doncaster for a week, it will be great.
And that is that!
Thank you for joining us for Allen vs Browne and what a fantastic fight night at the O2 Arena in London.
