Eubanks v McClellan

[marbleheadmaui]

G-Man never was in a long, tough fight but once and it almost killed him. There is no way Eubank doesn't make this a long grueling fight.

Doesn't one have to conclude that G-man simply didn't have the physical constitution for that kind of fight and Eubank would have won and maybe hurt him as well?

We only don't know if he could 'go long' in a fight, becuase he never had to. The only time he did it wasn't fatigue that stopped him.

I didn't make myself clear enough. The only time he was in a long fight his skull, neck muscles etc were unable to prevent his brain from being nearly fatally damaged. That's what I mean by physical constitution. He was like Meldrick Taylor in that his body just wasn't capable of dealing with being struck repeatedly without being permanently damaged.

Who knows? I suspect what happend was just one of those horrible freak accidents that sometimes happen.

I dunno. When a guy who has never been in a tough fight before gets permanently damaged in his first grueling fight? I think it's likely that's telling us something. But no way to know for sure of course.

It was his rough sparring session's that caused it, he also took a few hard knocks off Julian Jackson in there 1st fight that didn't help either.
