Interview with McClellans sister ahead of March 28th Benefit night in his hometown of Freeport.



Twenty years on from tragic night, Gerald McClellan still asks what happened when he fought Nigel Benn | Boxing News - boxing news, results, rankings, schedules since 1909

[Marty]

A tragic tale.

My heart goes out Gerald, and to all fighters left permanently damaged by boxing.

A chilling reminder of how perilous this great sport, which we all love so much, can be.

[Beanflicker]

Can't believe he's been living in that state now for 20 years, what a hell that must be for him and his sisters who have to care for him 24/7.

I think prime G-Man was in the top 10 punchers of all time. The power he had in both hands was ridiculous and he dug to the body with a left hook like very few could.

That article came up on my Facebook page. I never bother reading the comments because most posters are mindless fuckwits that know absolutely nothing about boxing.

I was at this fight, and - to my shame - I was booing McClennan at the end because I thought he had tanked it. Still feel ashamed about that.

You know I have just never been able to feel sorry for him. Any scum bag POS that tapes Labrador retrievers mouths shut to let his line bred retard pit bulls have at it gets no pity from me.

Just a disgusting thing to do.
I wouldn't have wished his injuries on him but there are many other people that I'll give sympathy to before him.

Yeah I hear that for sure. I loved him as a boxer but as a man he seemed a real piece of shit. If the dog fighting stories are true, I'm glad it happened to him to be honest.

Bullfighting and matadors deserve far worse.

Boxers know the major risk that they might face during any bout but no boxer deserves this.

Just think of the amount of meat that passes through our digestive system without a thought of the horrendous torture the animals go through but no one bats an eyelid.

Ditto bro. He used to beat his dogs who lost in dog fights. Fucking scumbag. Bad Karma is a bitch.

Absolutely NO WAY you could have know what was going on in that ring after the fight that night, was like a gladiator pit and Chaos afterwards.

And even watching on TV i remember my Brother screaming "He's bottled it" when McClellan dropped to his knee.

Most people were so absorbed in the battle they didn't notice the blinking, gum shield out etc.

They say they do now but they didn't if they're honest.

All anyone gave a fuck about was Nigel beating the fuck out of him

It took me years to watch the fight. To this day I think the ref should've been kicked the Fuck outta the reffing game- way too may rabbit punches.
Way too much time allowing Benn back in the ring first round
And Ferdie Pacheco saying he just flat out quit...man just a horrible fight to relive.

Gman fought Benn because he was chasing RJJ. Benn then calls out RJJ after the fight. The end.

[imp]

Lots of animal lovers on here.

I love animals as well but he doesn't deserve what happened to him..then again, I have issues with matadors and bullfighting and I rejoice when they (matadors) get brutally maimed so I understand the feelings towards Gerald...

The act you describe does not absolve the other. When this happened,
, I applauded. Whether someone eats a burger or not does not make GM any less a torturer sadist that got his comeuppance.

Only pity about that photo there is that the bull's horn didn't split that asshole's skull apart, spraying his arrogant brains all about the ring. FACT.

[Beanflicker]

Yeah I'm with you guys, Fuck Gman!!
