    Actually man, he did have a preexisting condition going into that fight. You can see it after only about two rounds. Watch the way Gerald opens his mouth after even the first round and also the fact he does not sweat throughout any of the fight at all! He is dry as a bone while Benn, and any healthy fighter would be, is pouring sweat. That is actually a symptom of possible brain injury not sending the correct signals and very severe dehydration. He was ****ed going into that fight, no doubt about it. It was a great win and very courageous of Benn but Gerald was done for.

    There are various points throughout the fight in which he is constantly blinking his eyes, especially when he takes a knee the first and second time. He is staring at the ground and blinking his eyes rapidly.

    None of this is at all about taking away from what Benn did and how he won. He showed lots of heart. The simple fact is though that Gerald was, at some point, whether it was in this fight or another, going to have this happen to him in a fight.

    His brain already had trauma to it and unfortunately it came out in this fight after he got hit a lot all around the head. In the side, back and front. It should be an immediate stoppage for any fighter that doesn't sweat. That is a classic symptom of someone in danger and any doctor knows that. Why his corner didn't stop after Gerald even said he can't go on is ****ing well beyond me! Quite a few people don't even know that. Gerald asked them to stop it and his corner told him to keep going.
    where is the evidence for any of this? This is all speculation. Yes, I remember him blinking his eyes after he took a lot of shots from Benn. Was he was blinking his eyes before the fight!? No

    Further, are you a doctor? If not people shouldn't go around saying he had a "pre-existing condition" based entirely on speculation.

    And even if you are a doctor it's impossible to give a medical diagnosis based on watching a fight. You can speculate, but speculation is not fact.

        Why wasn't Manny in his corner for this fight?

            It's been awhile since I've seen this fight, but I know they had some sort of falling out or disagreements.

            G-Man publically criticized Steward during an interview on Showtime. He was saying that Manny only wants to show up during the end of training camp instead of training him throughout the camp like a trainer should.

              i've heard that gerald was having severe headaches, nausea after a number of his bouts. Guess it was one of those tragic things that was waiting to happen unfortunately

              that being said, Benn won the fight fair and square. He was the better man on the night

                Steward said it was because McClellan started falling in love with his power and was looking for the knockout too much and when Steward asked him to go a few rounds to pace himself McClellan refused and it caused a rift between them.

                  ur being ******. watch the fight closely, in the first round benn returns a punch which didn't look hard at all, he catches mcclellan on the top of the head and mcclellan has a major overreaction to it, it was a pre-existing problem

                    I can not believe the ****ing wankers on here blaming Benn! its a ****ing fight for ****s sake!

                    People who have seen the fight will see that it is a classic fight where one mans WILL overcomes the others. Benn outlasts Gerald. and how was he supposed to know the state of him while he was celebrating his win??? **** sake.

                      Probably... McClellan vs. Jackson might have been the bout in history that featured the most punching power between the two fighters. Just insane how powerful both of those guys were.
