Wow surely this is bullshit about McClellan's injury

Why is everybody making such a big fuss over this? I don't know whether it's hear say or not but it is more than possible for neurological damage to happen after an impact or trauma... that's why my dad spent months in a hospital ward after getting hit by a car, he was allowed out for an hour so we could have a meal next to the hospital on my 18th birthday and even that the doctors weren't very happy about.

Why are you all acting so offended? it's possible that this could happen... whether it's true or not I really don't get why you're all so eager to dismiss it and tear bunce a new arsehole.

Exactly, if Bunce has named the neurosurgeon, which he did, then you only have to ask him!

The surgeon Sutcliffe was addament, That McClelland was not to be moved. He was recovering well, it was His Family that moved Him, against the Hospitals wishes. I was talking to Mr Ashshar head of the Nuerosurgical unit at St Barts some time after. He like everyone was furiuos what had taken place.

The G-Man had already been showing signs of injury prior to the fight.
Tarick Salmaci (The Contender) was a former sparring partner for the G-Man and a stable mate of the G-Man at Kronk Gym. He did an interview in 2007 about the events he saw with his own eyes and events he heard with his own ears that took place leading up to the fight with Benn.

Look it up online and read up on it...

So according to Bunce, Even though Mclellen left the ring on a strecher with an oxygen mask on, he left england the next day right as rain and it was the flight and american after care that made him the way he is now....

i'm not sure I buy that.

....is there a reason for your comment about me or is it just that time of the month for you?

Wait, so is he suggesting that the fight didn't cause GMan to be the way he is now? or that ignoring the doctors advice caused it?

Because he was in no way "okay" after the fight. He was peeing blood in the locker room according to the documentary..

Benn was pissing Blood after the Fight, Mccellan was in the Hospital having surgery.

Also I heard Montell Griffins had KOd him badly in sparring leading up to the Fight, from a very good source.

That's what I was talking about! Very hard sparring, McClellan may not have been in the best shape and those rabbit punches probably didn't help out though.

Surely!!!

oh yeah youre right...either way they both were done as a result of the beating they received from each. Even if Gman stayed in Europe his career was over after that fight, the residual damage is speculative after that. But I'm no doctor...;D;D;D

Bunce is full of shit if that's what he's claiming. McClellan was taken to hospital and had an immediate operation on his brain. Benn and McClellan spent the night in beds next to each other in a private hospital ward. From Sunday morning onwards the press were reporting that McClellan had suffered a serious brain injury, had been operated on and it was touch and go whether he'd survive. He was in a coma for two weeks. He was eventually flown out of the country in a wheelchair on a funking drip.

Why would Bunce make something like that up though? Ive heard him say it before

post brain surgery is it now (or then) standard to keep a patient sedated to allow swelling to go down?

I don't think flying someone out would do them any good.. your body swells during flight. But I'm no doctor. :cool:

I had always assumed it went like Kirkland said but who knows, I definitely don't.
