I heard this about Gerald McClellan..........

[eli porter]

'It would be cause for regret if the sport were to be banned because of its all too obvious dangers. Risks are part of human life. Indeed, strange creatures that we are, many individuals would find a risk-free life unbearable. This is one of the reasons why pursuits such as rock-climbing, hang-gliding and free-fall parachuting will never lack adherents. So it is with boxing.' Express

'Even if the law did dictate against boxing, men would find places to fight for prizes, the way they have done in the past. They would fight because it is in their nature, because it is as much a part of them as music was to Mozart and writing was a part of ****ens.' Independent

Can't imagine boxing getting this much love now. It'd all be about how no one watches it anymore and banning it wouldn't be a big deal.

Damn this **** is ruff.

According to Johnson, then the fighter said: "Damn, man, I feel like I got some water running down my face."

"I knew then he must be bleeding in his brain," Johnson said, "Then he passed out and started foaming at the mouth and having convulsions."

Johnson accompanied him on the ride to the hospital, and said McClellan regain consciousness in the ambulance.

"His biggest concern was, was he knocked out?" Johnson said.

When the medics asked McClellan was city he was in, Johnson said: "He just kept saying, `Let me wake up! Let me think!' "

But the fighter was unable to say where he was.

At the hospital, McClellan did respond correctly to questions from his doctors.

"He even remembered he was in London, and told them his daughter's name {Forest}," Johnson said.

The trainer said when McClellan was taken for a CAT-scan of his brain, it seemed that the worst was over. Johnson and Donnie Penelton, McClellan's cousin who also worked his corner and lives in Milwaukee, went to a hospital lounge.

"The next thing, they were back saying he had a blot clot," Johnson said.

"They said, `If we don't cut on this man in the next 15 minutes, he's gone.' "

"I told them, `I'm the trainer. Do what you gotta do.' "

You should read a book called War, baby: The glamour of violence which covers the Benn McClellan fight in depth.

"Gerald used to walk by this statue of (fallen former British fighter) Bradley Stone in days leading up to the fight," recalls Lisa. "He would stare at the statue, and shake his head saying, 'That will never happen to me.'"
