Benn vs McClelin

G-Man would have sex with a different girl every day.

What dog thing? Never heard of that.. JuyJuy tell's me this was the fight that Benn was hypnotised for though so he fought like even more of a nutter.. Trying to find that really famous pic of him looking like an animal but haven't found it yet.. Remember it was in the newspapers at the time but can't find it on the net... There was an article posted a while back about how he used to go to pet stores and get innocent dogs and have his pitbull kill them why they were tied up and couldnt defend themselves. This is Mclellan im talking about. There was a lot to it .. he seemed to have some major problems

I did hear about him killing dogs and that was horrible, but I would never wish him to get hurt that bad.. no fighters desevres that. He just should have been punished another way for that dog thing he had going on. What dog thing? Never heard of that..

Benn and Eubank. Oh the glory days of British Boxing. Its a shame most Americans dont have a clue about these two giants of 90s boxing. Get the fights on DVD, video or download em. Eubank and Benn fights still rock!

Top fight. Watched it live on tv and have got it on DVD. In the first I thought Benn was fucked four ways from Friday but the thing is with that guy he hit him and it just pissed him off so he'd hit you back twice as hard! Absolute fucking animal. Not necessarily one for the purists but in getting the old adrenaline and animal instincts firing it takes some beating. Lol

I can't see Gerald not beating Roy, I try to visualise Roy Jones winning the fight but I just cannot do it! I'm genuinely 90-99% sure that Gerald would of won.

From what I hear, Steward said if Gerald stayed at Kronk, he would've easily beaten Roid Jones Jr. (joking bout the roid jones)

He lived with Steward. He beat Roy Jones at the 1988 Golden Gloves and was rated the #2 lb4lb fighter in the world at the time of the Benn fight, the only man rated ahead of him was Roy Jones and they were set to clash in the summer of 1995 (a fight that most believe Gerald would of won). Thanks for the information on that one. Jones vs Mcellan would have been another great fight, you think Gerald would have caught Jones though.. in 1995 Jones was on top of his game for sure.

Oh I didnt know about that, was Emanuel Steward training him ? He lived with Steward.

Technically, it was Gerald's chin that caused him brain damage! He walked through Tommy Hearns' best right hand in sparring when he was 16 (with no headgear!), he walked through Julian Jackson's right hands. Gerald had a sickeningly solid chin, and so he had no right to withstand so many of Benn's shots that each of which would usually see guys crumbling in front of Benn left, right and centre. I have no clue what type of condition Gerald was in coming into the fight but I have heard that he was physically never the same after his first fight with Julian Jackson(headaches,blurred vision etc)...shit no one takes Jackson bombs and Gerald did but maybe in the long run he really didnt... Not to argue or not that we know (you may) but Julian was in my mind the harder puncher, I have never seen one punch ko power quite like the hawk. You cant walk thru guys like Jackson and Benn and come out ok...

He left Kronk and that was his biggest mistake If he never left Kronk that whole thing wouldn't have happened Oh I didnt know about that, was Emanuel Steward training him ?

good, Gerald is a fuckface... #1. He shouldnt have killed dogs #2.

the fight was your typical euro dog fight a lot of hitting behind the head which I believe caused it. Are you dumb? "your typical euro dog fight" WTF are you talking about? Firstly, this wasn't a European boxing match, this was the first time that two WBC champs had ever faced eachother. European boxing sucks because of the lack of aggression, they fight too fairly and their styles are too upright and textbook, they are boring and fair and within the rules. Black Londoners such Benn, Eubank etc are not European style fighters, they are what you'd called 'American style' fighters because they are not upright and they move side to side, plus they are black and not white. As for the rabbit punches causing it, that is the most ridiculous claim to how it caused Gerald's injury. Have you got any idea just how hard Nigel Benn punches (he doesn't need rabbit punches to do damage that's for sure!)? Have you got any idea just how awesome Gerald's chin was? You do realise that McClellan should of been knocked out at the start of round two and many times over just in that round alone right? Let alone a further eight rounds of withstanding Benn's punches. At one point, Benn was 22-0 with 22 KO's (most of which in the early rounds, some of which in the opening seconds!), that was when he was a brawler..and he switched into a brawler again against Gerald. At a nightclub once he punched a bouncer so hard that he knocked his nose from one side of his face to the other and the nose was literally hanging off, he's also punched a guy in the street so hard that there was a huge lump hanging out of his forehead and he was out cold for an hour. If the couple of little rabbit punches Benn threw caused Gerald's injury then why didn't they cause the 40+ other opponents of Benn's brain damage too? ..because Benn always through a couple of rabbit punches in his fights. At the end of the day McClellan is lucky that he got out of the fight alive, because if you stand in front of Nigel Benn with no defence for almost 30 minutes you are commiting suicide. That guy Benn could whack like no other.

Scap I think he might be from the MMA boards. The McClellan story is very sad, the fight was your typical euro dog fight a lot of hitting behind the head which I believe caused it. McClellan currently lives in IL and his health is about the same and hasnt really recovered but financially wise he is more unstable. All of his money is gone and noone even reaches out to Gerald. Tragic story, I pray for him everyday. Supposedly Gerald had really damaged his head during sparring for the fight againest a Heavyweight fighter. He saw one of Don Kings doctors (which was paid off) and he let him fight with severe brain injuries. After the brutal fight with like you said rabbit punching aswell, it did so much more damage to his brain that he became in the state he is today. Sad story defintley

I dunno how many of you saw this. It was a number of years ago in England. It wnet 10 rounds with McClelin (Who almost KO'd Benn in the 1st) taking 2 consecutive knees and stayin down for the count on the 2nd. he then walked to his corner and sat down. since that day he hasn't walked or talked and is said to be blind. he sister takes care of him. cuts his food and feeds him and such. does anyone know anyhting about this. like what happened to him? You have been a member since 2002 and have 12K posts and you are asking if anyone here has seen Benn v. McClellan?
