After the Julian Jackson fight Gerald had frequent head aches, bleeding and dizziness which means he probably had brain damage even before the Benn fight.
In the Benn fight, which almost ended in round one, McClellan took serious punishment from Benn without looking very affected. After a few rounds he started blinking repeteadly and had his mouthpiece out of his mouth to get some air but he was still winning the fight at that point.
In round 10 McClellan collapsed after a series of punches from Benn, took a knee and waited until the referee counted to ten. After the fight was stopped he walked into his corner, collapsed and went into coma.
Gerald was sent into the hospital and a blood clot was removed from his brain. He finally woke up after spending weeks in coma, extensively brain damaged, deaf and blind.
Today he has regained his ability to walk but he is still blind and deaf and he can't remember many things from the past.
