I'm sure that if Lovejoy could fight at all that they could have found a spot for him on some cards somewhere vs semi-live bodies rather than having his entire career play out in Tijuana nightclubs vs the dregs of the Mexican heavyweight division.
But who knows, maybe he'll be more dangerous to Allen than I expect him to be. It's not like the Brit isn't there to be hit. At this point, it's a good opportunity for both men as I see it. It gives Allen a chance to rebound from his loss to David Price & to sneak into the world rankings in the process. And for Lovejoy, it provides him with a bit of a "name" heavyweight to prove himself against. Even if he loses to Allen but gives a good showing it should open up other opportunities for him so that his days of headlining in dive bars south of the border will be over.
