INJURY! What Really Happened (Calvin Kattar vs Arnold Allen)

Calvin Kattar vs. Arnold Allen took an unexpected turn when Kattar injured his knee in the first round while attempting a flying knee. Allen's exceptional footwork allowed him to evade most of Kattar's strikes, including the ill-fated flying knee, which Kattar threw at a bad angle, causing a severe knee injury. Despite the unfortunate end, Allen showcased impressive boxing skills, landing precise left straights with minimal telegraphing, and demonstrated superior speed and technique. Kattar's injury seemed to be a freak accident with no prior contributing factors. Allen capitalized on Kattar's compromised state to secure the win in the second round. The fight highlighted Allen's significant improvement in striking and overall fighting skills. Looking ahead, Kattar may face a lengthy recovery, while a potential matchup between Allen and Max Holloway could be on the horizon.
