Is Tom Allen a boxing pro? | Would I Lie To You? - BBC

Wouldn't want to face Tom Allen in the ring 🥊 #WouldILieToYou? #iPlayer #WILTY

Host Rob Brydon and team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell are joined by guests Tom Allen, Sarah Greene, Ugo Monye and Morgana Robinson. They reveal extraordinary stories about themselves, but are they telling the truth or making it all up?

People always forget the key to this game is to tell a truth that sounds like a lie. Well done Tom!

"Well that's one of two things. Either Tom is lying, or his coach is lying."
:D:D:D

Imagine if you piss off Tom and he says "say that to my face you little shit" in a really camp way, and then he just goes and decks you in one punch

[sjinzaar]

Twice a week...
And what week was that?
Dying!!!

[Aeradill]

The onstage punch really was not bad, he put his shoulders into it and you can see his weight transferring from his legs into the punch. for me it was biggest clue that it was true, but.. i might be reading into it

[billyeveryteen]

Watching his "demonstration" again, it's now obvious he deliberately threw a bad punch, but his form was actually proper.

[Blingo]

He looked so pleased with himself when he knew it was working

[angeladawn]

Don't know who the woman was on David's team, but her delight at losing to Tom's bluff was so cute!!

[SquidandCatAdventures]

I could tell it was true. And I was worried that even if it was false that Tom might accidentally hurt his hand by making too much contact.

[mikef]

Ahhhh he bluffed! That was a good play

[maximillianford]

This segment was almost like the WILTY of old. Witticisms were more consistent from David and Lee and every joke landed. I'm of the view that the show should've stopped around covid but this was a nice little gem

[keithruley]

If you don’t love, Tom, there’s something wrong with you!

[mikef]

Looking back on it, he was trying too hard to look like he didn't know what he was doing.

As someone who's done boxing training myself, I was slightly surprised that he said "left, right, left" and used the word "combination", because you never start a combination with a right (unless you are left handed).

[petejones]

Omg is that Sarah Green.. My She has aged.. But haven't we all

[PtolemyJones]

I know this show is more about entertainment than the rules, but I wonder if he was required by whatever guidelines that are given to honestly show his left hook. I assume that when the fact is true, they are expected to remain honest.

[linkindan]

It’s plausible - we know Tom can take a fist
