that ref. sucked he should have called that fight in the first round Benn was out way longer than 10 seconds plus why in the fuck was he trying to hold mcllelan back i wish that fight had happen here in america cause we may still have Gerald today as a fighter.......all those fucken rabbit punches that he landed on gearld had alot to do with the shit that happend to Gerald .....Benn is down right a fucken dirt bag i dont care what anyone thinks.......and how can you keep celebrating when a man is almost dead...the whole crowd was going crazy ...they showed no respect for Gearald... kinda makes me bitter on the british.......i just still cant belive what i saw by this ref. and Benn........when Gerald took a knee the first time he, was hit in the back of the head if you watch the replay.... it shows you he was caught in the back of his head or neck all this shit could have been avoided if the fucken ref. knew what he was doing........i guess we do have all the good shit in america even the ppl...you can flame me all you want but i dont care Gerald may still be normal had he had been here in the states the night of that fight....yes i know this issue has been talked about before but i had to let this off my chest.
BENN NIGEL =DIRTY FUCKEN ROTTEN PEICE OF SHIT.....NO CLASS .....HES A NON STOP RABBIT PUNCHER!!:nonono:
I cannot remember a single fight in which Sam Peter had a point deducted for rabbit-punching. Same thing for Holyfield for leading with his head.
Bad refereeing is everywhere. A tighter general enforcement of the boxing rules is wanted in Britain as well as anywhere else IMO.
I agree that overall refereeing is poor. Disputable decisions and even regrettable ones can not be stopped and will happen for years, but can be clamped down if dirty tactics (headbutts/rabbit punching) were penalised more frequently resulting in a better outcome.
Both boxers are in my all time favourite list. What is the threadstarter trying to prove? That Benn intended to paralyse Gerald? Are you insane?
I'm not saying Benn was a fair/clean boxer, but going into a fight against one of the hardest hitters of all time pound for pound (who also was not a clean fighter), you cannot expect a pure boxfest. This fight was always going to brutal, but wasn't supposed to end the way it did.
It is deeply sad to see Gerald in the state he is in, but Benn or the ref cannot be harshly blamed. Especially after the knockdown in the 8th.
If you had watched this fight live, you would be seeing a different fight. It's much different seeing it after you learned of the aftermath.
this guy is chattin what i affectionately call bo-lax. he just sounded off a whole load of crap. no1 goes into the ring thinking or hoping to injury maim or kill an opponent. benn is a born again christian and has repented for what he did despite havin no intention to do so, so ur cryin and bitchin is unnecessary.

hi people im new to the site and just thort id leave a post. firstly id like to say the fight was good with mcellan nokin down ben in rds 1 and 8. The fight was exciting. I dont see how you can hate on benn for just boxing its not lyk he was stamping on his hed wen he was on the floor. Mcellan is blind n disabled to this day as a result of his corner not realising the state he was in..
who the fuck said he deserved what he got?? no fan of boxing would want that on any fighter! AND no one who knows boxing would blame Benn either!
your about 13 years old i reckon.
GEEZ you are a sad bunch ....so becuz Gerald wasnt a nice guy or had headaches....he desrved what was coming and for that yall show no humanity.....you guys are fucking lame.i cant belive it....you guys can have this thread there is no sense in talking to yall............later.
Fuck sake its a fight!! "it aint no tickling contest"
Gerald new what he was getting into, dont ALL boxers? 99% of boxers throw rabbit punches atleast once in a fight in a clinch LL did it all the time! the ref is supposed to warn and take points etc but if he doesnt then the boxer is gonna carry on. i dont think anyone is to blame apart from the ref and maybe geralds corner for not noticing he was fucked up.. maybe. but at the end of the day shit happens.
Benn is a warrior.
wtf i didnt even see one rabbit punch come from gerald.....and their was one head butt in the fight.....have you even seen it:nonono: ....and it came from Benn lunging in:duh:
Amazing. It's clear to see what your agenda is then.
wtf i didnt even see one rabbit punch come from gerald.....and their was one head butt in the fight.....have you even seen it:nonono: ....and it came from Benn lunging in:duh:
yeah & that was Obviously intential
Go away u loser
What about the rabbit punching and headbutting from McClellan?wtf i didnt even see one rabbit punch come from gerald.....and their was one head butt in the fight.....have you even seen it:nonono: ....and it came from Benn lunging in:duh:
Apparently only British fighters throw rabbit punches?
Apparently there is no rule in boxing that constitutes if a fighters gets knocked OUT of the ring he gets a 20 count instead of a 10 count?
Apparently the crowd should have known beforehand that McClellan would end up paralyzed later after the fight?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the G-man and I even shed a tear when I saw him in the condition that he's in now, but the only argument of yours that holds any water is the rabbit punching, and I agree that refs all over the globe should pay more attention to penalising rabbit punches. But let's not for a moment pretend that Nigel Benn is the only boxer that throws rabbit punches.of course hes not:duh: but he threw them intentionally i guess he got what he wanted....didnt he!!!
yeah the ref was shit but i think Gman was having trouble very early on after round 2 he was hanging his mouth piece out and didn’t look right.yea i know what the hell was up with his mouth peice that shit looked like he got it from the 99cent store it looked to big and not custom fitted for his mouth......either way Benn landed some ugly shots to The back of Geralds head......just down right on purpose and dirty:nonono:
Your name says it all ... muppet.
Mcclenan was a downright piece of trash anyway. I dont know why people feel so sorry for him? Its not like he was a nice person ... kinda makes me bitter against the Americans.BECUZ HES HUMAN YOU SAD PEICE OF SHIT!!and your name says it all....CockSucker!!
