Allen would lose to a British level fighter to be honest. Darch is no more than a punchbag, was actually the first time I’ve seen him land a few shots himself!

He'd certainly struggle but he is popular with fans and wants to earn money. He needs to take on a name. Hughie Fury might be a good option for Allen.

He’s a weird one is Allen. Not very good, makes for a half decent sparring partner apparently as he has a very good chin. I think Hughie would box his head off, and isn’t a big draw himself really.
He has made good money, especially when you consider his lack of ability. Kash Ali might be an option but again I think Allen would lose that. Maybe he just needs to keep fighting regularly against lower opposition and try and build a few more quid that way? He’s fairly popular as you say and adds to a card etc
He’s one of those that might need saving from himself before too long though. He was complaining about headaches and being dizzy during the Price beatdown. That’s not good at all.

heart hopes and wants Fury can pull this off, but my head says Wilder will knock him out.

He never lets the truth get in the way of a good story. He can stop Wilder imo, but it would more than likely be late and down to accumulative punches and tiring him out by resting his extra bulk on him and pushing him around whoever he can.
There’s certainly something to be said for Fury to fight at mid range and close it up as soon as Wilder starts loading up. Wilder needs room/distance to operate ( throw the big right hand )
I think Wilder is vulnerable too, his chin is a little unproven. Yet to face a genuine banger
I think Fury will size it up and then revert to type. Keep it long, look to fiddle through and nick rounds. Dangerous approach but adds to the tension! Looking forward to it

Hard fight to judge.
Fury is the better boxer and tactically much more varied and intelligent.
But Wilder is not that easy to get to and he has great ability to bide his time and find the chance to land with his overhand right. Very difficult to avoid that for 12 rounds and as Fury isn't much of a knockout puncher he gives Wilder a lot of chances to beat him.
I err on the side of Fury winning on points.

Wonder if Wilder will target the eye of Fury which almost cost him last time round against Wallin big style.
It's Wilder KO or Fury points but got to play on Wilder's mind that Fury took that punch and got up from it.
Don't expect a bullshit cop out judges decision here on the basis there's a rematch clause but still, it is 'murica after all....

Fury’s talking about retirement once this 3 fight agreement is over. That doesnt fill me with confidence. I was thinking of betting Fury last night but now i’ve got a feeling it’ll be Wilder. Just not sure if it’ll be a decision or a later round knock out

Mind games, he'll outbox him for 12 rounds and win on points
