Z.Lawrence and Antwon Echols Vs.Brian Barbosa.I have literally lost some very good Friends/fans arguing on this one as Benn was basically cast as a villian...."He head butted,He had a long count,He celebrated rudely on ring post as Gerald layed in ring" etc.etc.Oddly at the time Any defense or pointing out Particular fight points....did feel abit unsettling.Simply...Courageous fighters,great men.
    Benn did come across badly especially in the afterfight interview with the UK crew. The Showtime interview wasnt too bad.
    But, we have to put it in context. I believe he was having a bad time with Frank Warren at the time and Mclellan was brought over with everyone (including his own promoter) expecting him to get a hiding. It was a brutal fight and Benn was literally fighting for his life in there. So I am prepared to give a little leeway to Benn for his conduct after the fight as it was the ultimate backs to the wall performance.
    YOU THINK GERALD WAS BROUGH TO THE UK TO GET A HIDING ?
    ARE YOU FOR REAL ?
    Err, I meant the other way round Marra !
