The accidental clash of heads allegedly triggered the brain injury, and McClellan was said to be in the throes of that injury from round 4 onwards. That's a testament to the guys bravery!
It's a fact that McClellan was ahead on the judges scorecards at the time of the stoppage, therefore, Benn couldn't have won all the rounds after round 1, but he did win the fight and that was some achievement, which is contrary to what has been posted on this thread.

well obviously you know more than the rest of us how can you possibly know the headbutt started it? even neurosurgeons couldn't tell us that!

Sum peeps did get a bit carried away huh! Ive always thought he was an animal, Try and catch sum more of his fights, he had alot of skill aswell as that power the man could box! Forget the opponents name but G man scores my fav ever KO, The guy just drops like a ton of **** when Gman lands a right flush on the jaw, then freezes on the ground with his arms stickin up and an insane look on his face, its class!

I agree with you. I think that many people will base there opinion on McClellan having only seen a few of his fights, and i suppose it's possible that people also pass opinion on him having only watched his fight with Benn, but it's clear to me that the man was extremely talented.
That particular KO you've mentioned is stunning! He knocked out Dan Mitchell leaving him prone on the canvas for some time. Mitchell was by no means a good fighter, and i think he'd lost more than he'd won by the time he fought McClellan, but the technique of that shot was excellent.

Read my post again mate, i said allegedly! Many have claimed that the headbutt triggered the injury.

[The Noose]

No.
He was not.

The only clash of heads happened in the 9th round. At that point McClellan took a knee complaining of a headbutt, but clearly he was in distress looking exhausted, breathing very heavily. He had taken huge shots since the 2nd round that would of stopped 99% of all other fighters.

Plus, it wasnt really a clash of heads at all....Benn caught him with a good right, and slipped, his HAIR catching McClellan in his eye.

McClellan was supposedly struggling around about the fourth round onwards as he was hanging the gumshield out of his mouth and blinking a lot. Opinion dictated that the accidental clash of heads triggered or aided to (whichever way you want to put it) his brain injury.
For me it was a clash of heads! Benn fell forwards throwing the right hand, and his head caught McClellan's. Many claimed it was deliberate, but that was obviously nonsense! Momentum just carried Benn forwards.

Id agree with that.
IMO it wasnt a clash of heads as there was no impact wen there heads appeared to come together. As oppose to the many many times wen McClellan got punched, the force and huge impact of the punches were clear. It was more Benns dreads that got into McClellans eye.

You seem a pretty knowlegable guy, but i'd have to disagree on the clash of heads. Benn's head definitely made contact with McClellan's forehead.

[eazy_mas]

do you give respect with a guy who slugged out and KOed a person who is p4p most powerful puncher? and he did it twice.

He got very good ameatuer rec and even beat Roy Jones.


sparred with the best including James Toney, Thomas Hearn and many others

so yes and he is one of the few fighters who flew over the atlatic to fight Benn i dont think Roy Jones or many other Amercain boxers did it so please it not good to talk **** for a person how accplished quit alot in a little time

[lazyitis]

realheavyhands is a ****in moron.

Thats the guy! Well picked up on bud! Screamer of a punch!
