Allen's 'two illegal blows' sent Carty through 'loose ropes'

Doncaster's David Allen said on his Youtube channel that he will probably "speak to the boxing board and ask if it can be overturned to a win".The 34-year-old claimed he was "a bit too strong and rough" for Carty and said he was likely to win, with the punch that ended the fight not intentional and was aimed to "clip him round the ear"."When I'm heavy and fit, he weren't going to hurt me in a million years. So, I smiled at him and he didn't like that," Allen said."I'm not aiming for the back of anyone's head ever, but I am aiming about here [the ear]. It wasn't a big shot, I tried to clip him round the ear as I always do, and he's turned his head into it. It's gone round the back of the head."From there on, I don't know. It's not for me to say what's happened. He's a good guy, I do like him... I've caught him behind the head, not on purpose, he's turned into and he's gone through the ropes."At the time, I said to the referee, 'are you not going to count?' If that was in the middle of the ring I'd have won by stoppage. I lost my rag a little and said, 'look, he's jumped out the [expletive] ring.' I couldn't quite believe it, really, I was a bit shocked."
