    I struggle to watch it knowing the tragedy that comes at the end.

      It has to be better than the American commentary from Ferdie Pacheco. He said the same thing, but he is a medical doctor and should have recognized that McClellan was obviously in distress.

        Saw Hector Camacho fight at Casino Rama, watched Byron Mackie fight there on another occasion. Not really good fights where I live. I prefer watching sports on T.V anyway.

          You could see him from where we were seated, at the opposing end of the ring. He was such a big man in person, even from across the ring itself. The entire place was rocking from start-to-finish (even more lively, IMO, than Hatton-Tszyu, which was massive) & Bruno was at the forefront, as caught up in it as anyone. He really appeared aout-of-control from where we were sitting, but it was hard not to get caught up in it.

          As I said, when Benn went through the ropes, & when McClellan was counted out, those two moments took a thumping arena into the excitement stratosphere.

            Sometimes, bad things happen to bad people.

              HE should have sensed something, Gerald was blinking like mad and his gumshield was hanging out most of the night.

                More often than not good people tho WBY.

                Gerald does sound like a bit of a **** in real life to be fair, most stuff ive heard or read hasnt been nice. Still he was one of my favourite fighters along with Nige

                Such a shame that fight ended the way it did after being such a classic

                  the best scrap i've ever seen was froch - taylor


                  those guys threw the **** down and landed some thunderous punches
                  froch got off the deck for the first time in the 3rd

                  and JT didn't fold until he had absolutely nothing left.


                  i was very close. could have tossed a bowling ball into the center of the ring.
                  i sat next to a couple of people from JT's camp
                  and they were SCREAMING
                  it sounded like he was being murdered

                  one of them was deaf
                  or had a terrible speech impediment
                  he kept yelling "combinachuns," "Throw cumbinachuns, jermain"
                  translation : combinations
                  and by the time the fight was stopped and i looked to my left he was already in the ring.


                  i will never forget it.

                  i watched JT from his time as an olympian
                  saw him win the legit world championship at MW
                  saw him get dusted by pavlik

                  and then i bought a ticket and saw his last great fight.

                      I haven't attended many big cards. The only relevant one was Calderón-Segura. The crowd was absolutely into it in the final 2-3 rounds before Calderón took the knee. Very epic!

                      I'll be attending Juanma-Salido in April.
