Gerald McClellan vs Kelly Pavlik

[BmoreBrawler]

McClellan. I love pavlik but he is lucky that today's middleweights are so sub-par.

[Stickman]

This fight would suck. McClellan's blind, and has no short-term memory. He'd never see the first punch coming, and wouldnt' remember getting hit with it.


You guys are all nuts.

Pavlik by mysterious late round stoppage.

Yep agreed, Benn was very lucky he was aloud to carry on maybe a different ref and if it had been in the USA it woulf of been stopped.

Not only did he not stop it he continueously pulled Mcllelan off of him, King was going titts at ring side!

[The Surgeon]

Pavlik might have hurt Benn but Benn was an animal, even more so when hurt i think Nige stops em too!

[Burning Desire]

Sorry to say this but Nigel Benn for certain had the ref on his side, he kept stopping Gerald McClellan in the first round when he had Nigel Benn. Out on his feet, the ref must of got involved about 6 times in that round for nothing at all which is ridiculous. Plus he let Nigel Benn get away with countless rabbit shots. No doubt Nigel Benn showed great heart/will to comeback, but the ref was for certain on his side IMO.

When a fighter gets brain damage in a fight u have to question how long it was effecting him somehow or other during the fight, Gerald was hanging his gumshield out early on, perhaps too big, dont know, he also blinked alot.
Also i think that ref helped Benn out ALOT! Good chance he gets stopped Very Early with a different ref!

Sorry mate i gotta disagree ,ya see i there the night Benn fought McClellan,its one of the only fights i have bought a ringside seat for,the ref gave him longer to get up cause he was through the ropes ! I cant see what any other ref would do differently???
He may have taken more points away for the odd foul but what difference would that of made to the out come???
Another thing i will never forget was at the time McClellan sacked Manny Stewart 6 weeks before the fight,rumor had in the press Stewart had advised The G Man not to take the fight with Benn in London!
The thing is Benn took his punches and McClellan couldnt Benns!

[ferocity]

I go with McClelan, he was a quick starter and punched just as hard or harder then Pavlik.

Man thats some fight to be ringside at!!! Jealous I Am!

No problem with the extra time on the count Pedigree, it was the fact that he kept pulling Mcllelan off and pushing him back when he was trying to end it in the first Gerald was raging and Don was going nuts at ring side, im a Big Benn fan, have most of his fights on dvd and met him before (he was sound as **** btw) but i thought it was wrong and it probably cost Gerald the fight and in doing so his vision, partial hearing ability to walk and well life as he knew it.

Nige went in there and did his job the best he could tho, im not knocking him, he showed mad heart and a big punch!
