‘All In’ Allen started off the bout in fast fashion as he walked down his opponent behind a powerful jab. Strickland seemingly needed a minute or two to feel out his opponent’s timing before launching an offense. The first round was a back-and-forth contest that saw both fighters land shots of significance.
A key takeaway for Sean Strickland going into the second round was the fact that Brendan Allen wasn’t being defensively responsible. Chiefly, this was the sentiment that Allen’s coaches reiterated in his corner after round one. He wasn’t holding up a high guard after breaking away from an exchange. This would turn out to be a costly mistake as Strickland carries power deep into the fight.
