Fight of Their Lives : Benn v McClellan - ITV1 5th December

[MGG]

I remember reading about Gerald's interest in dog fighting a while back. To hear that he taped up a labradors mouth and set his pitbull on it is fucking unforgivable. Although you're heart goes out to him it kind of makes you think 'what goes around comes around'.

His sister is an AMAZING person though and didn't deserve to be thrust into the role of a 24/7 carer. I thought her story should have been dug into a little deeper.

Great doc though. ITV docs are usually crap but this one was a cut above

I have to say I completely agree. My sympathy for McClellan disappeared when I heard about the dog fighting (and I heard about it years ago)

Didnt know about the dog incident, being a dog owner, Karma is a wonderful thing

It is sad what happened to Gerrard, but he was not a nice person outside of the ring prior to injury.
