I was a huge G-Man fan at that time and was sure he would crush Benn before going on to destroy Roy Jones jr. I had people over for that fight and everyone thought I was crazy to think Gerald could beat Roy. In the first round, when Benn gets knocked through the ropes, I gloated and told all of them it was as good as over and Jones was next. Benn impressed and surprised me by surviving some hellacious punches/punishment, and then coming back to score the stoppage. Sad night in many ways, but inspiring to see another human being persevere and overcome adversity like that.
