Dave Allen: If Plan A doesn’t work against Browne, I’ll Homer Simpson him

Popular UK heavyweight Dave Allen has been working with former middleweight titleholder Darren Barker in preparation for Allen’s fight on Saturday with Lucas Browne, but he says if Barker’s plan doesn’t work, he’s definitely got a Plan B.

“I’m going to stick to the Darren game plan, for a little while, we’ll see how it goes. If it’s working, fantastic, we’ll stick to it, if not, I’m going to Homer Simpson him. The game plan is there. Game plan B is punch him in the face, and let him punch me in the face, and see who is the last man standing. We’re going to try a new look, and if that doesn’t work, we’re going to get at it. I want to feel his power, if I feel his power and it’s like, that hurt a bit, we’ll stick to the game plan.”

If you don’t get the Homer Simpson reference, which most of you surely do, here’s a clip from the the classic season eight “Simpsons” episode, “The Homer They Fall,” which will explain Allen’s Plan B a bit more clearly:

“Homer’s no boxer, he’s just a freak! Tatum’ll fustigate him!”

One expects that unlike Homer, Allen would be punching back. But the gist is that he’s very confident of his chin.
