David Allen vs. Johnny Fisher might have closed out 2024 with one of the most controversial decisions of the year.

Fan sentiment was that Allen did enough to win the fight, bloodying and battering Fisher for most of the fight and scoring a knockdown to seal the deal. Despite this, Fisher took a split decision. Even his father told Allen he "edged" the fight afterwards.
