    Gerald McClellan Vs Nigel Benn.

    Nigel Benn a world champion who was a murderous puncher, a champion who had defended his title six times and McClellan was fighting away from home, moving up in weight and his first fight at that weight was to fight a guy like Benn ?

    Yet he thought he could just blow Benn away ?.........and to be fair....he nearly did, in the first round, but when realized that this was not going to script, then obviously sadly what happened, happened.

    Thad Spencer vs. Jerry Quarry

    Thad fought the 'completely wrong fight'. He never listened to his corner's instructions
    and made the fight easy for Jerry.

    Why does everyone keep showing Herol Graham getting knocked out?

    Bomber had a right to be confident, he was battering Jackson around for 3.5 rounds and they were about to stop it.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I just love the commentary on that clip. And yeah it is a bit cruel on old Herol, that this keeps cropping up. So here you go, Graham in arguably his absolute pomp:
