What a sad picture

[General Zod]

**** me two times the fighter wanted to go and his corner let him stay, i feel so much more upset now

at least things have changed since then, there will be no chance a corner would tell a fighter to continue if their fighter said there was something wrong

True to an extent, Rid**** Bowe's team should of pulled Bowe out after his second kd against Golota in their remtach fight.

[..WaRSpencE..]

in fact some of you posters who live near him should get in touch and organise an online pay pal account and post an official donate thread here on NSB......i'll put up some cabbage to help his sisters out.

That would be amazing..

I live in Chicago..I have NO IDEA where Freeport is tho...but that idea is SICK..$10 or whatever per poster would be extremely generous to this man who gave his life to our SPORT!!

Gerald McClellan was a beast man.

[zero188]

first,i want to say McClellan was a true champion.like other people said,why wasnt the fight stopped earlier?people should take initiative and make a decision that could save someones life.the ref,the ringside doctor,anyone in the corner,hell even the judges,just to name a few,should step up and say something when there is obviously something wrong.he was spitting out his mouthpiece and there was obviously something wrong after a few rounds.sometimes people are afraid to say something and things like this happen (dlh vs. pac for example,the ringside doctor and the ref/commission/his corner asked dlh about 5 different times if he was sure he wanted to quit just because it was someone of dlhs magnitude in there they were afraid to just say,ok fights over).yes,i know he knew the risks,but like someone said in an earlier post,he wanted to stop fighting and his corner didnt let him.are there commissioners in the corner over in europe?i havent paid attention,but if someone said they wanted to quit in their corner here in the states,wouldnt you think the commissioner would at least let someone know in between rounds?sorry for the long post,but tragedies like this hit me hard thats all.

btw,did you guys know gerard jr. is a boxer also?

After the fight King had someone break into McClellan's hotel room and steal McClellan's copy of the contract. The original contract stated that McClellan was to be paid 450K, it was substituted with a contract paying him 75K

is there any proof of this?this whole tragedy gets dirtier and dirtier the more i look into it.i was watching the benn interview about McClellan,and i remember hearing that benn made 700k pounds for the fight and McClellan made a lot less.

what pisses me off to a point where my eyes start to tear is that some of you crticize the Wlad's, the Floyd's the B.Hop's and so forth for being safety first fighters.....yall paint such fighters ass boring or fighters that lack heart or courage......then when a fighter who gives you a war ends in the G-Man's state, all muh****as can say is thats a shame.....poor G-Man.....and **** of that nature!!.....change the way you look at the sport and know that these so called supermen are nothing but mortal human beings who have a family and life outside the sport......its unfair to criticise these athletes for looking out for their health.....appreciate the science of the sport and stop bitching if 2 dudes don't damage each others brain to a point of no return......if you wanna see a brawl, go start one and have someone record it......keep doing that over and over just to please a bunch of muh****as who'll just say, "thats a shame" if you're critically injured

And to think this happened to him after stopping Julian 2 times and looking well on his way to stopping Nigel.
