prior to the benn fight, the guy had 2 losses to unknown names. Makes you wonder. This was early on his career. The guy didn't fight for 9 months prior to his final fight with Benn. Poor management? The guy does not belong in the super middleweight, you can tell by his body size, it's like Green vs. Codrington when Codrington looked like a dead ragdoll in the first round KO. though McClellan had the height. He was only 165 pounds in the Benn fight. Benn was naturally a super middle weight at 168. Wasn't there a falling out between McClellan and Emmanual Steward, his ex trainer? What was that about?
From round 2 I see Gerald with his mouthpiece halfway out. Very unusual. He was clearly taking the bigger punches as Benn was only overwhlemed in the 1st round, that was all I saw, overwhelmed, not hurt. One upper cut Benn threw at Gerald is reminiscent of what Chris Eubank threw at Michael Watson that ended up Watson getting permanently injured in the fight. Was the G man a damaged fighter even before the Benn fight? How so? I've heard rumours? Maybe that was what the falling out between McClellan and Steward? That he should not continue to fight, considering he had a 9 month layoff, for a right hand surgery? or Shoulders? It could be something as well, but no one is talking. Everyone is hushing so that way the Feds would not do any more regulating than it already has in boxing.
