    This interviewer is not very tactful. It's well known that Benn attempted suicide partially in response to that fight.

      Boxing is a brutal sport at times in more ways than one! Ray.

        Very emotional video yes but I didn't shed a tear. Probably the hardest one to watch is the Documentary where Emile Griffith meets the son of Benny Parret.

        But good to see Benn is doing well. I just hope the same for Mclellan.

          That was a great documentary. I agree it was difficult to watch and had a very depressing vibe.

            I had already seen this vid and many Nigel benn vs Mcclellan interviews etc... and always have felt a strong vibe out of them. Tragic stuff.

            But to be honest i think this kind of videos and documentaries are really important to watch if u decide to get serious with boxing, its good to know the good and the bad of the things you love.

            Great vid men thx for sharing its been a while since i saw this one.

                  Yup. It's really unfortunate that this kind of stuff happens in the ring. It's a part of the game though. I'm more happy for Griffith than anything. He had closure.
