I'm not sure what kind of condition Gerald is in and whether he is aware enough to appreciate this and to be conscious of what's happening around him?

I know his sisters really care for him though and I guess they wouldn't allow him to attend such a public and potentially stressful event if they didn't think he was up to it.

I hope it goes well for him.
I have talked to Geralds sister Lisa as recently September we had a very long conversation about alot of things including the fight and the aftermaths.. She cleared up alot of the myths and misconceptions about the that tragic night Lisa will go to an occasional fight here and there, she said she was at the Roy Jones vs Glenn Johnson fight and was shaken up when Roy got KO'D and kind of gave her flashbacks..

Gerald is fine and cognizant of his surroundings, although he is still Blind and dosent have his wits 100%... Lisa told me that Gerald is still Gerald and has alot of his personality and traits he had before(in a positive way) he is gregarious, playful and mischievios and also has his moments of being a pain but all in all he's as good as his situation allows..

She said he is doing much better and adapted greatly since the CNN documentery with Teddy Blackburn(Boxing Photographer) aired a few years ago

As far as his health go's he is excellent his vital signs are great and probably better than any of ours she told me since his mental state is the way it is,the normal stresses we all face everyday dosent wear him down and effect his health...

Thats all I'm sharing out of respect for the family

Lisa is an amazing woman along with his other sister who share time caring for Gerald they have really sacraficed there lives and own opportunities in life to take care of him and she tells me she has 0 regrets... I know People do this all the time and there are many that are in Geralds position and have good caregivers...Sadly I dont think any of them get the credit they deserve
A nice posting, JT

The Benn: McClennan fight is a fight that will always stay with me. It was a fight I remember watching on tv as a youngster and thinking wow!!! One of the great fights of all time IMO. Just such a horror to finish the way it did.
