Re: Fight of Their Lives : Benn v McClellan - ITV1 5th December
who else did Stan Johnson train ? Can't really find out anything about him
I bumped into a guy in the Mandalay Bay store back when I went to Tua v Lewis - wearing that hat with some other guys, am sure it was him

Benn was using steroids that night he must have been - because Stan Johnson said.

I really enjoyed that even though it was very sad to watch. You have got to feel bad for Gerald, it's not nice seeing such a great fighter in the way he is in now. Geralds sister is such a good woman, it must be so hard for her and her family.

Re: Fight of Their Lives : Benn v McClellan - ITV1 5th December
never knew Benn said 'better him than me' to press till last night. I mean its true what he said though isnt it, everyone would be thinking that but can certainly see the effects on mcclellan family
Also I know it was a long time ago but did those purses seem low to you for such a big fight ? Or was that good for the time for a SW matchup ??
700k Benn, 250k Gman

Re: Fight of Their Lives : Benn v McClellan - ITV1 5th December
I think Benns purse sounds about right. I remember him wanting 1m for the Second Eubank fight and that was considered a bit OTT at the time. I think it said Mcclellan earned more in this fight than he ever had, 250k is a bit low but its all relitive to what you normally earn I guess.
Was it just me who saw McClellan doing the blinking thing in the build up to the fight just hitting the pads?
Theres an extended version on next tuesday at 9pm.

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 was told by a very good source, before the Fight. That Montell Griffins had Sparked McClellan, 3 weeks before the Benn Fight, in Sparring.

After watching that I still cant decide who is to blame, if anyone.
His trainer's inexperience certainly didn't help but it's easy for us to judge in our armchairs with the benefit of hindsight.
I thought Gerald's families reaction was seriously unjust, to say you want Benn dead is just plain dumb. I know Benn's post fight comments seem harsh but in the context of their timing they're pretty standard.

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