His power kept McClellan off him yes he toughness and etc also helped him, but without the power he would of been stopped just watch after the 1st round, when McClellan felt the power he was on the back foot.
Gerald fought in circles, he had the uncanny ability to throw with real power hile moving.
I think Gerald moved backward when the opponent made any advances toward him as his power was maximised when he was a t a distance.
After Jackson, perhaps Benn's punches had a greater effect on McClellan than I think, but I just don't believe Nigel hurt him badly with his punches.
