I can remember exactly where I was when I watched that and the look on everyones face in the pub as Benn got knocked out that ring!
But when he climbed back in we all knew he would win!

Did McClellan breed pitbulls for fighting?

Tc
Yes.
Gerald did breed Pitbulls for fighting, he had a big reputation in that "sport."

Brendan Ingle mentioned this to me.



Gerald remains a huge talking point in the world of boxing. Many who condemn his past actions, go as far as to claim he deserves his condition.
However, Gerald was a product of his environment. He is not a unique case, he's merely a man who gained recognition and had his flaws recognised by a wider audience.
Many of the people who condemn him and his clique realise that there are numerous others growing up in a similar environment yet never make any active atempts to help such peole and in turn dissuade these activities.
