Thomas Carty faced a frustrating end to his fight against David Allen on the undercard of Katie Taylor's farewell event at Croke Park this past Saturday. Carty's manager, Mike Ofo, claims that Allen committed blatant fouls, particularly a rabbit punch that led to Carty being knocked through the ropes, resulting in the bout being declared a 'no contest.'

Ofo expressed his disappointment, stating, "I am very disappointed about what happened on Saturday night at Croke Park and the untimely halt to what should have been the crowning achievement of Thomas' career so far." He highlighted that Carty was eager to perform in front of a large crowd and felt devastated by the way the fight concluded.

Key points from the incident include:

• Carty was hit on the back of the head during the first round.
• Ofo believes Allen should have been disqualified for the illegal blow.
• Allen attempted to justify his actions, claiming he did not aim for the back of Carty's head.
• Ofo remains confident that Carty would have won by stoppage had the fight continued.

Carty, who suffered a previous defeat due to a freak injury, looks forward to a rematch with Allen, hoping to secure his 12th professional victory. Ofo stated, "we will happily give Allen a rematch and they can settle it once and for all - hopefully inside the ring this time!" Meanwhile, Allen has refrained from commenting on Ofo's remarks.
