UNDEFEATED Guyanese super middleweight, United States of America-based Lennox `Too Sharp’ Allen had a dull ending to his scheduled Wednesday evening fight in New York, as his opponent Julio Garcia weighed in a whopping 15 pounds over the 68-pound limit forcing the plug to be pulled on the contest. 

A source close to Allen said the 29-year-old southpaw was disappointed, but should be back in the ring before next month end.
“It is baffling to try to understand how a fighter could come in so many pounds overweight. It would have been impossible for Garcia to lose so much weight in such a short period of time. Lennox was disappointed as he was really excited about getting back into the ring,” the source said.
The fight was scheduled for the BB King Blues Club and would have been Allen’s first for the year. Allen has not been in the ring since August last year when he won a six-rounder against Micheal Gbenga, after turning pro in 2004 and has racked up a record of 18-0 with 10 knockouts.
He secured the vacant World Boxing Council/Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) title in 2011 following a unanimous 12-round decision over Kwesi Jones at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. However, Allen’s career has slowed in recent time, having just one fight in 2012 and a similar number in 2013.
