What happened to gerald Mclellan

[TonyRingside]

I saw that fight live on TV. thier more than meets the eye. Benn was hitting the G man behind the head allot. Also G man wrapped his own hands for that fight. And anyone who knows boxing will tell you. IF your hands are wrapped right you can punch through walls and if thier wrapped wrong you cant punch through paper towel. Also Benn was hipnotized before that fight.
Im not sure if thats allowed anymore. Anyways if G man would had his hands wrpped the correct way the fight would of been over in the first round when G man knocked Benn through the ropes. Their was actually 13 seconds that went bye. Also G man had such power even with his hands wrapped wrong just the power in his arms were kncking Benn around however they didnt have the wreaking ball effect like a perfect wrapped hand will have.

Also after the fight in the hospital King said to his trainer that G man quit like a DOG. Its all in the book.
You all have to give G man more credit. He even beat Roy Jones Jr in the Ametures and Roy even says G man beat him. Roy always said he would never fight G man. Now thats a statement.

yeah that's whats in my signature

Benn was lucky but he did win & especially in the long run

Gerald McClellan (born October 23, 1967 in Freeport, Illinois) is a former boxer from the United States, who was world Middleweight champion. Trained by hall of fame trainer Emanuel Steward, he conquered the WBO world Middleweight championship knocking out John Mugabi in one round in 1991, and the WBC's version by knocking out Julian Jackson in five rounds in 1993.

McClellan, nicknamed The G-Man, never realised his initially awesome potential due to a tragedy which struck when McClellan went up in weight to challenge world Super-Middleweight champion Nigel Benn in London on February 25 of 1995. Televised to the United States by Showtime, the fight had a devastating ending, as McClellan, after dropping Benn out of the ring in round one and once again in round eight, took a knee in round ten and was counted out, collapsing in his corner and losing consciousness. French referee Alfred Azaro was harshly criticized as inept for the way he handled the fight.

McClellan recovered his consciousness, but he lost his eyesight and his ability to walk. Sports Illustrated ran an article about the fight and its outcome one week after the fight. McClellan's family flew to be by his side, and later on, he was flown back to his home country. He has recently recovered some ability to walk, being helped by a cane, but he has not recovered his eyesight. In addition, he has lost a great deal of his hearing and his short-term memory was profoundly affected. His three sisters, more particularly Lisa McClellan, are responsible for his care nowadays. He has been the honoree at numerous banquets and award ceremonies, and fellow boxing world champion Roy Jones Jr., often pointed as a possible rival during the 1980s, set up a foundation to help McClellan.

McClellan's record as a professional boxer was 31 wins and 3 losses with 29 wins by knockout. McClellan's opponents rarely got past the third round.

[realheavyhands]

It Wasnt The Benn Fight That Did It..there Were Signs Earlier.. I Read On Of His Sparring Partners Hit Him With A Jab And Hurt Him And Gerlad Lied And Said He Poked Him In The Eye.. And The Guy Said Did I Really Poke U In The Eye And Gerlad Said No U Hurt Me.. This Is A Guy That Was Capable Of Walking Thru A Thomas Hearns Right Hand .. And If Anything In Boxing Cuased His Condition Said To Say I Think It Was Cuz He Walk Thru Thomas Hearns Right Hands

That sir................is a lie

I caught the fight , and if you notice after he knocked him through the ropes he,s trying to end the fight ,i,ll say about a 1:25 to go benn throws a left hook that catches g man on the side of the head and g man reached for his head like someone hit him with a pipe or something to that nature and the rest is history....

yeah, McClellan was already hurt going into that fight. He'd fought a big punching fighter (Julian somebody) a couple of weeks before.

[supermandathoe]

He was feeling the head pains far before the Benn bout. Even after the Jackson bout he was feeling intense headaches. One of boxings saddest stories.

yeah, for sure. I wonder if it was the Jackson fight which hurt him. Probably.
