Boxers Rock and Tiger Allen in a Hospital due to a Car Accident
Rock and Tiger Allen sustained serious injuries in a one-car accident recently in Montgomery Township, a Philadelphia suburb. The 29 year old twins were once the city's most promising young fighters. They were taken to different hospitals after being taken out of a Ford Explorer. Tiger Allen was driving the vehicle.
The car accident report states the car was on Bethlehem Pike when it left the road and hit a tree. A spokesperson for the University of Pennsylvania stated Rock Allen was in serious condition. Tiger Allen was placed in the intensive care unit at Hahnemann University Hospital last week.
Both boxers have been mostly inactive in boxing in recent years. The brothers were U.S. Olympic boxing team hopefuls for the 2000 Olympics. Both boxers were disqualified from the boxing trials due to Tiger failing to make weight at 125 pounds and being accused of attempting to weigh in for his brother Rock in the 132-pound class. The accusation took Rock out of the boxing trials. However, Rock made the U.S boxing team at 141 pounds for the 2004 Athens Olympics. He was defeated in the second round after getting a first-round bye.
Tiger Allen became a professional boxer in 2006 as a junior middleweight and had a 3 and 0 record. He last fought as a cruiser weight in 2008.
