Gerald McClellan was drugged when he fought Nigel Benn after the first round. Benn had something on his gloves or something that screwed McClellen up. McClellan did not seem right in that fight after the 1st round just his heart would not let him stop fighting until the tenth. But something went wrong with him in 1st round or 2nd round.
Like in that movie Diggstown they put dope in his Nasal spray or something.
I always thought u were Italian250 but u guys have 2 totally different perspectives on the g man thing
I agree
Fuck McClellan
He got what he deserved....

It may have been sad for some but animals all over the world were rejoicing. I wonder if your pet was mauled to death by a McClellan dog while he sat there and laughed if you'd still think it was sad!! Quite honestly, when people who hurt others get hurt themselves, I THINK ITS FUCKINg HILARIOUS.. Rot in hell Gerald Mcclellan

so the guy raises fighting dogs, and you think it's justified that he has terminal brain damage from rabbit punches.....geez I thought I was sick in the head, you take it to whole new level, don't get AIDS from your pet monkey
LOL awesome post, OscarRules has a huge crush on Felix and it's pretty disturbing IMO, he makes the Pretender seem like an unbiased critic....
but back to the subject, Gerald McClellan was the victim of 20+ rabbit punches vs. Benn, the ref from that fight should be burned at the stake for allowing the British fighter to foul repeatedly to get back in the fight, it was maybe the saddest night in boxing over the past 20 years
plz nutsac u know all of pretenders post have been about ruiz,
i will die happy knowing when sturm is the middleweight champ that all that hate u put onto me will be shoved right down your mouth and u will look liek a f00l a big big f00l
You love that little bulge in your avatar, don't you?

Rj
I was there for the first fight in the 88 Nationals when Frank gave Roy an 8 count with a BOOMING right hook. That is the only time as an amateur I know of RJ getting an 8 count. ]
They fought twice more at the Trials and RJ won both
Your are not very bright, can you imaqgine what Gerald would have done to your boy Sturm, he would have ripped his fukcing head off.
Again, you are not very bright.
ya comparing sturm at this point in his career is bright :rolleyes: might wanna wait till sturm has had a full career before blabing your mouth cause u might be eating your words
there was no drugs or anything involved in this fight, it was just one of many tragic occasions in boxing, the damage may have been done to McClellan before the benn fight anyway, like many of these conditions it's usually the accumulation of punches over a fighters career that causes the real damage, it may have just been a ticking time bomb waitng to go off
who gives a fuck G-man got what he deserved

i suggest you read "war baby", in it there is a piece about gerald suffuring headaches and blurred vision as far back as 1989, so i think the damage was there long before he fought nigel. i was there that night and it's still very upsetting when i think back.
I was at that fight and from where i was(bout 10 rows back) i thought whatever went wrong with gerald happened early in the fight he was having problems with the gumshield very early on, It was a very tragic evening and one that perhaps could do without drug rumours.
excellent post for gods sake is no fight sacred?
hmm
I was there in 88' when Gerld beat Roy Jones in the National Golden Gloves in Omaha. GREAT FIGHT
Yeah Roy fought some pretty good wars in the amateurs. Did you see Roy vs Liles? All his fights vs Liles were good.

I have read reports that Gerald may have been dealing with the blood clot from the second round on...that is where some experts think it began to form.
You missed the headbut at the end of the 9th round while Benn was going down apparently. Possibly it was unintentional but it was devastating.
Have you seen the fight? If you had you wouldn't even be questioning whether the "headbutt" was intentional - he didn't catch McLellan that hard anyway and it was with the back of his head whilst he was falling over after missing with a haymaker. The only thing illegal Benn did in that fight was throw a few rabbit punches but he got a couple back too.
McLellan's problems looked to be down to poor conditioning if anything as he was struggling for breath from the 2nd and as another poster said, he kept popping his gumshield out to try and gulp in some air. That coupled with the fact that he kept eating bombs from Benn was the most likely cause of his problems. Your drugging allegations are pathetic and unnecessary.
I know Nigel Benn and believe me he would never use such tactics as the topic originater suggested (drugs on the gloves? give me a break!).
Nigel won fair and square, the so-called headbutt in round nine was nothing more than a very slight tap onto the cheek of McClellan - Benn had accidently fell forward slightly through exhaustion. Yes I admit that Benn was throwing rabbit punches - as he always did - but it's the referee's job to stop them. Boxing is war.
The reason McClellan suffered brain damage was simple - his chin was too good!! McClellan has an unbelievable chin, Tommy Hearns hit him clean with his hardest shot when Gerald was just 16 or 17 - no headgear - Gerald walked straight through it (Gerald took his headgear off and went crazy on Tommy, he was a wild kid). Nigel Benn was used to fighters crumbling in front of him left, right and centre when he landed cleanly. McClellan stood there and took the shots, if it wasn't for Gerald's great chin then he'd of been KO'd at the start of round two and many times over! So, technically, it was that great chin of McClellan's that withstood Julian Jackson's best shots that caused him brain damage - because he had no right to withstand so many of Benn's blows for so many rounds.
