Nigel Benn never get the respect he deserves for that fight from the americans.

I remember seeing a few videos on youtube. I think a boxing photographer visits McClellan often and tells him about the boxing world etc.. Then separate videos from Benn's perspective.

Same with Watson-Eubank.

could've been all the rabbit punches and the crooked ref

i laughed my ass off when the crowd ignored all of nigels rabbit punches but as soon as mcclellan threw one in about the 8th round they all went ballistic

it wasn't benns fault mcclellan got what he got. mcclellan probably had taken alot of hard shots in previous fights and maybe had it geneticly, not benns fault. It was a very good win for Nigel Benn and I feel he should get the respect he deserves for it.

It was a Showtime fight, so I doubt they'd let HBO do a doc on it, theyd rather do one themselves.

But yeah I agree it would make a great doc

It wa son Showtime so HBO won't do anything wit that.

But some sort of doc on this would be great.

Kinda hard to get footage of McClellan now.

In the British version the commentators start openly rooting for Benn after he survives the first round.
