Yes the Benn v McClellan fight was the only fight where I was jumping around for the whole of the fight. It was a proper Rocky 4 movie where he came back to stop Gerald.
It was incredible fight from start to finish. The US commentators said it was like a Hollywood script and they weren't wrong. It was the kind of fight that summed up Benn as a fighter.

I really miss the guy to be honest. His fights rarely disappointed. Imagine him fighting someone like Froch, what a great fight that would be!
