Great footage, thank you for this upload.

Don king looked so pissed off 😂😂😂😂

Bit like tyson. Once Gerald came upon a guy who just took it all and kept coming back he ran out of ideas.

I was in thst crowd shouting for benn. Great fight. Nigel was a tough as they come.

The only man that deserved to be in McLellans condition was that reptile Don King. A vile human being who championed him pre-fight and was then cosying up to Benn as he lay in distress in the corner..the world will be well rid of this parasite.

As a kid and Benn my hero this fight still haunts me. All the build up and GM's rep had me in bits with worry, but Benn feared nobody, hes was a full blown warrior. Nobody mentioned it on tv but i could tell something wasnt right right with GM fron round 4, when he kept hanging his gumshield out, then the blinking. Watching it now I just want him to quit and save himself....but he was a warrior too.....I still love boxing, but this left a mark on me like no other fight 😢

Not sure who one of the commentators is but he’s clueless

Uppercut!!!!

43:48 You can see the lump on his skull

Don king is scum

Tremendous fight, awful, amateurish commentary

Gladiators- last man standing 👏

Don king leading in McClellan and talking shi😢 leaving with benn

great, but sad

What song did nigel come in to?

I don’t think Nigel Benn should celebrating like a lunatic, while his Opponent, lying down on the canvas dying ,

Never a Benn supporter, but he was a great boxer, he always reminded me of smaller Iron Mike Tyson, same look, same style, Collins v Benn 2 of the best most brutal fights at super middleweight of that era and their were some very good super middleweights around then.💚☘️🍻

McClellan was having trouble keeping his mouth piece in his mouth during the 5th round. Way before any accidental head clash. His problems started before this fight, caused by the punishment given to him by Julian Jackson in their first fight. The fight with Benn just made those problems much worse.

disgusting commentary

Those comments by Jim watt were terrible.

This is what happens when cocky Americans come over to the UK....they get taken to hospital

Bloodlust.....Bloo'y 'ELL.

I still think when Nigel accidently headbutted him that when he started blinking his eye if you see the whole fight McClellan was doing good until Nigel swing and miss and headbutted him after that he was not the same.

Is this video and the hundreds more on youtube supposed to make me feel sorry for dog fighting/torturing Gerald McClellan?...well how does it feel like now asshole.

Wow Freddie definitely didn’t want or thinks Nigel should win!

Michale Benn!?!?!? Who’s that?!

Round2 ❤

Thank you. Had this on VHS and lost it. Watched it at the arena omg what a fight, atmosphere, everything was mind blowing. Brutal. Sorry for what happened to Gerald, but Dark Destroyer..........

Nigel is quite simply a soldier ❤ love nige!!!

McClennan told his corner that he never wanted to come out for the sixth round because he said that it felt like water was rushing through his head. Instead of letting him stay on his stool, they told him to get back out there and continue boxing a rabid Benn who was out for blood and fighting like a complete mad man. All those power shots that Benn landed on the back of McClennan's head eventually took there toll and nearly ended the American fighters life. Some say this was the best fight of all time. I say it was a bloody disgrace for the sport. Benn should have been disqualified for all those blows to the back of McClennan's head. Those types of punches are illegal in boxing and Benn was not even warned once by the referee for this. The ref was disgraceful in this fight because had Benn been disqualified for his illegal blows, McClennan would most probably have not suffered those terrible injuries that have left him in the state that he is in today. This fight will forever go down as a black eye for boxing! If you can't fight according to the rules then you don't belong in the ring. Period!

Punching behind the ears was a coward move!

Rd 2 was a banger anyone agree? Wot a come back round 4 nige?

I just want 2 say would Steve Collin or Eubanks been able 2 beat da g man? I think not big up big benn !!!

What a scumbag don king is, he was mcellans promoter in this fight, his fighter loses is bein took off in a stretcher in a serious condition and don kings response to that is to go to nigel ben and try recruit him onto his stable and big nigel ben up, not even caring about his own fighter, true heartles peace of shit

Don King is shameless!!!

Was benn on juice that night. Something just wasn't right. And im an English fella

What sort of referee was that clown.

They’re bringing a stretcher in and he’s still giving it the big un, Tosser

I think the butt to his left eye is what took the toll

Man was on the floor fighting for his life and those meat heads are jumping around for joy. Tf

Disgusting the way benn is reacting!! Him and his son are pricks

I remember watching this. Benn is my favourite all time boxer, and I went through all the emotions with this fight. Still reckon it's up there with the best fights I ever saw.

This incident with McClellan seems to me like the boxing authorities learned nothing from the Michael Watson fight.

Apparently, the WBC and Don King asked who the best referee in Europe was, and they were told that Alfred Asaro was by someone. Why they were told that I'll never know. What about Richard Steele, Mickey Vann, Roy Francis or even Mills Lane from America. The atmosphere in the London Arena was electric that night.

So many cry baby Americans in the comments, it's hilarious reading them all.

Sad what happened to Gerald McClellan but lets not pretend he was a nice person. He wasn't.

the commentator in NEW YORK WAS DELUSIONAL , Gerald was no way winning the fight

The thing that made McClellan 's permanent condition a lot worse was the family taking him on a plane home. He wasn't supposed to fly and the doctors warned against it.

Ferdy Pacheco was wrong to keep talking about McClellan just quitting. He should have waited until the situation was clarified properly, instead of keep mentioning that Gerald had quit, due to a trivial injury in his opinion, straight after the fight. Jim Watt, commentating for ITV, mentioned that Gerald may have quit as well, although nowhere near as much as Ferdy.

The London Arena is now a block of posh flats. The floating Chinese restaurant is still there though!! It was demolished in 2006. Due to the lack of multiple transport links, there was only one DLR station, and the O2 being up the road, which was bigger and had more transport links with the DLR, underground and plenty of parking space..
