Well I donated. Watched that fight live. One of the best ever. And for that Gerald paid dearly. I get what he did to dogs. But he has suffered enough. I 🙏 the stem cell treatment will help improve the quality of his life.
Id donate if i could
Thank you
mclelan took some heavy shot from jackson, and I think thats what gave him brain damage
Julian trains Gerald’s son now too. Amazing stuff
Straight up??
McClellan was shaking his head continuously following this bout and expressing amazement at Jackson's power. I believe he was damaged by Julian before he even stepped into the ring with Benn.
Oh for sure. He was blinking non-stop
McClellan didnt do himself any favours sparring with Tommy Hearns and Mike McCallum before the Bennj fight either.
Gerald complained of headaches after the Jackson fights. A brain scan might have prevented the Benn fight from ever happening.
He had no defense look at the shots he taking that dude is all offense
Can you believe a card like that, Mc,Clellan v Jackson at their peak only 3rd on the card. That would never happen nowadays, it would be a load of tomato cans getting paid nothing then one cherry picked main event, that we already know what the result will be.
Yep. I do miss the 80's/90's for boxing
Just shows how good that Era was.
Wild how much Jackson catches McClellan with no effect. Makes you wonder if his chin allowed him to take flush shots, but the damage was being done in a different way, leading to the Benn outcome.
I agree, not only did GM take heavy headshots from JJ in the first fight, he also took them in infamous & regular sparring sessions in the Kronk. It is noticeable, again, in their first meeting, that GM was exhibiting blinking & pushing out of his gumshield consistent with what was noted in the NB fight; clearly far less frequently, but te signs were there. Previously, this gesturing was thought to be just idiosyncrasies particular to GM, but, in hindsight, more likely indicators of repeated neurological trauma. In his contest with NB, GM took a lot of hooks to the head, many of those landing as rabbit punches due to the forward momentum of both fighters & Benn was a known headhunter, rarely throwing body shots; in addition to the concussive head punches he took, his style made him prone to head clashes & this was certainly the case in the fight with NB.
It was the roided out benn and his non stop rabbit punches, low blows, head butts, and a slow count in round #1 (never shouldve went past 1) Refs to blame, corner man to blame too. If he had Emanuel Steward in his corner still, I truly believe this outcome would not have been, Steward wouldve blown his mind at the refs, including a voluntary stoppage after the 10th rabbit punch and 2nd head butt. He protected his fighters. Just my .02.

Whats your thoughts on evander vs tyson figt 2, where evander was head butting, bollock punching and elbow smashing tyson....
@@markwright5223 Like tyson never rabbit punched , held, elbowed in his career? Or we wont talk about that.
@@JeffJackson-bg8rg
On the odd occasion, but he did'nt make a career out of it like evander.
Virtually every top fighter that went against evander was extremly weary of his dirty fighting style.
I liked the ending of this video very much. The right choice to respect Gerald, not indulging on painful footage about how is he now, but meanwhile asking for help for his family and dedicating the video to a true heroin, his sister. You that made this video, you’re quite a man, you touched my heart. My donation is coming. Thank you.
Well put Massimo. McClellan, thankfully, had done enough to earn his HOF status. Just a reminder of how brutal this sport can be, Nigel Benn should not blame himself.
Yeh it’s nice that they skipped the fact he was a dog killer.
@@henrybrowne7248it’s never the boxers fault. At all. If anything , if you see the full documentary on that fight, his own corner can take part blame.
I wouldn't donate a cent to that dog fighting bastard.
Heroine
The fact that two legends of boxing fought on Boxing After Dark and not PPV is insane. Couldn’t imagine that as a modern boxing fan where they overcharge for every matchup
Yes in 2023 young fight fans can lap up some youtuber and a supposed pro-boxer/semi youtuber this weekend I think while waiting another couple of years for the possibility of a legitimate heavyweight world title fight in between the circus shows masquerading as boxing.
@@roboi2241 preach! Smh feels like the dark ages of boxing
Yeah because the ogs showed the new generation how important it is to make ms in the sport espacially in big fights.
People just paid like $80 to see Alvarez vs. Charlo.🤣🤣🤣
thats a great take
Like so many fighters he's suffering in unimaginable ways following his career. Boxing has no health insurance and so unregulated, these men are discarded and forgotten.
Did he loose his vision, almost all his hearing and could not walk at the end?
Guys fighting at the championship level make an enormous amount of money, and could easily afford both insurance and retirement plans; even as an independent (incorporated or LLC). But no one teaches athletes to manage their money. They go from being kids with nothing to suddenly having access to potentially millions of dollars...while still being basically kids. Everyone picks and paws at them, from managers, accountants, agents, lawyers, and even their own family members. They also have the invincibility complex that most 20-somethings have where they don't think the good times are going to end. Before they know it, an injury happens, a better athlete comes along, or even just natural process of aging and their career is over.
As to after-career benefits: there is NO WAY any professional sport would be able to maintain itself if they were continuing to pay for the thousands and thousands of retired athletes who no longer make the organization money. Is it a bit tragic that athletes are viewed as disposable assets? Yep, but those athletes could also spend time focused on how to manage their money instead of living it up during the short time their careers will transpire. Save now, live it up when retired by the time they are 30.

@@utdkidswifeITO 😂😂 I’ll bet you do!
McClellan was a big, dangerous middleweight, but a disgustingly cruel human being. Nigel Benn had his number. Karma is a bitch!
Nigel benn got knocked through the ropes and given a gift. He fought a compromised G man. Is what it is.
Bro he fight dogs . There are far worst than him u just going off what folks saying . So many folks I knew fight dogs growing up in some countries it’s cultural tbh . We have folks killing people in America drugs , human trafficking and taxes being taken from hard working folks . Those folks are evil . A dog life will never be the same a a human . A dog cannot for sea or wonder or imagine . It’s not human
That's the truth.
Yep karma a MF bitch ...🥊
Spot on 💯
You can clearly see the die hard ringside fans filled up for the first fight. The Julian fight contributed greatly to Gerald’s brain injury
He took some neck stretching shots he absorbed some brutal shots for real before showing why he's the G man!
He had too much chin for his own good. @@HarryHeath-pb6rv
Upmost respect to you man, what a way to end the video. Beautiful to see there are still some boxing content creators that have respect for these great men in the fighters and their families, not views from shock and awe.
Both of these true men were electric and I thank them for some great memories. Respect to both warriors ✌️
Mcclellan was no warrior, he was a disgusting piece of shit who got what he deserved
Gerald McClellan. The man who tied a labrador up and let a pit bull rip it to pieces. A truly horrible person

McClellan KOd Jackson, in both fights, but not without being wobbled a few times. Jackson’s power probably started a degenerative process in Gerald’s brain health. In the 2nd fight McClellan wanted to get Jackson out of the way asap rather than suffer those bombshells he took in the 1st fight. He complained of headaches for a long time afterwards, and couldn’t spar normally.
wow i never knew about this. I never heard of Gerald until now. Anyone who can beat Julian twice is a legend.
“2nd fight, McClellan wanted to get Jackson out of the way asap rather than suffer those bombshells…..”
That’s what I clicked on the video to say. McClellan knew he had to get Jackson gone quick because Jackson had one-punch knockout power.
He definitely suffered a traumatic brain injury that either he or don kings camp didn’t want to address. sad but at least he’s living life still
@@poindextertunesCorrect, and McClellans coach was a useless bag of skin, he didn’t have a clue what was going on. If Manny was there that shit would never have happened. Don King is one man I wish had nothing to do with boxing. He is a remorseless sociopath with no care, or sense of moral duty, he cares only for money and control, that’s it. King also had a hand in coercing McClellan to leave Manny Steward, no doubt it was about money. King was already squabbling with McCllellans family over, fees, prize money, and expenses within weeks of McClellans near death brain injury. King eventually came good with McClellans money, he paid what was agreed with a small amount on top due to medical cost and domestic costs immediately after and when he returned to the US. It’s probably the only thing King ever done right in his life.
@@Pulsonar He's 92 now and still filthy rich and still in the sport of boxing doing his thing. Proof there's no such thing as karma.
Two incredible fighters. Power punchers that can really box. It is so sad what happened to McClellan.
It's bone chilling to hear him talk about the "mind that he has..." I just wish his sister Lisa all the best in taking care of him, she's done a great job
Yeah it was sad. But I have very little sympathy for the McClellan. He was a piece of sh1t outside the ring.
What happen to him 🤔
@@growth2newconnections718 He got severe brain damage against Nigel Benn in his next fight. He know lives under the permanent care of his sister Lisa, as mentioned by @blakasmurf above.

Actually sounds like the greatest card or all time
This is a gladiator sport which is the display of tremendous skill and courage in combat, sometimes to the death, we should honor such men. They have showed us the triumph of the human spirit over poverty, broken families and living on the periphery of society. My donation is in. Thank you Gerald McClellan…
McClellan was a savage puncher. Such a shame when a young, fit guy has it all snatched away. Injured ex fighters get wheeled out when convenient but I get the feeling the likes of McClellan are basically forgotten by boxing. A small percentage of the profit for every boxing match should go to an injured fighter scheme. Ex world champs like McClellan shouldn't have to live and die in poverty. Boxing is the most corrupt, most dodgy sport. When I see the likes of Jake Paul allegedly earn millions from fixed fights and circus acts it makes me puke.
Me too when you think of the muppets making money pretending to be boxers makes me sick even luke furys turned into a freak show
Or they could just choose not to box, and go acquire the skills to be a plumber, electrician, etc.
McClellan fought dirty.
Threw rabbit punches, both fights.
Low blows and hit guys when they were down.
He's a scumbag, what would you expect?
Everybody in these 2 fights were legends. The fighters and Mills Lane and Joe Cortez. The best refs ever.
Well said not many people acknowledge the referee's, I liked Richard steel as well But Mills lane was my altime favourite 🥊
richard was too confrontational and stopped some fights too soon
@@peterbalac1915
I fully agree with the opinions that Gerald McClellan was wobbled in the first fight and could have sustained brain injury. Julian Jackson's punches were a freak of nature. So knowing full well that Jackson could hurt him next, McClellan finished the job in the first round in their second fight.
I was actually feeling terrified looking at the two fights.
A very touching & respectful video 🙏 .. the fight with Benn was the best & the worst that I have ever witnessed .. the greatest comeback to the most unfortunate ending ..
cornermen done something to Gerald, he was fine, he quit because he just could not take any more and knew Benn was never going to stop bashing him up... he got off the knee stood was fine spoke t people fine, stood in his corner fine and talking ok, then he sat down cornermen surrounding him along with don king them bam he hits the floor and is in a distressful state. they done something bad to him, you dont go from being realy good to bad that fast.... don king lost a fortune due to Gerald quitting, enough said.
The second best man of Kronk Gym (the first one of course is the inimitable Thomas Hearns)
They sent Gerald over to smash up Nigel Benn ,! He nearly did Aswell in that first round ! An absolute war that night and it should have been stopped when Gerald asked his corner to do so ! it wasn't just the lack of adequate medical treatment that was needed that night coz he wouldn't have needed it if he was pulled out ! Don king is a rat and had done nothing to help him over the years ! Godbless champ 👍🙏🥊🏴
Did you notice in the first fight , about halfway through the commentator said he’s blinking. I’m just thinking of the Benn fight, whether something was up with Gerald then. Respect
ya, this was the fight that hurt him first. not the Benn fight. JJ is a true puncher!
It's the weight cut

Herol Graham was destroying Jackson, but one punch changed everything.
It's hard to have any sympathy for someone who enjoyed watching two dogs ripping each other apart.
Why did Julian ever fight Nigel Benn and Chris Eubanks
Just watched a you tube video yesterday , where McClellan said he was gonna put Nigel Benn in a wheelchair , and then said he'd then put Nigel Benn's Dad in a wheelchair. Funny how things turn out innit .
Gerald spoke that into existence but his own words cursed him. Ya, be careful what words come out of your mouth.
Brutal .... Couldn't PAY ME to get HIT by these Men 😮
If memory serves me it was the first fight with The Hawk that ruined Gerald’s life in the long run; this despite it being the highlight of his career. He complained about headaches after taking too many hard shots from Julian. The damage was done there long before the Benn fight and it’s tragic conclusion destroying Gerald’s life and robbing fight fans of what could’ve been…McClellan v Roy Jones Jr, Toney or Bernard Hopkins. Thanks for uploading this, love the channel 🙌
Those punches did alter his life forever. Had Jackson not had those vision problems in the second fight it would have been a great fight as well but I think G-Man would have beat them anyway. He was a different type of savage. Julian Jackson had one punch knockout power that was harder but G-Man was a whole other type of swarm fighter. If that Nigel Benn fight hadn't happened and it wasn't the power of Nigel Benn that did it either. Watch that fight closely. If Richard Steele would have been there, he would have called that fight in the first round. Lol. Wish he had. G-Man was a monster in the ring
@salahuddinmuhammad3251 Geraldgot battered by Benn. A tragic ending...however, Gerald had a poor defence which is why he took so many big shots. Yes he had Benn in trouble etc bit Benn was a beast himself and thoroughly deserved the win.
Them 3 dudes all beat him 😂
@@mrp9023 Nigel Benn was juiced in that fight he didn’t deserve anything, bum!!! Nigel passed his steroid ways down to his son. Both are a disgrace to boxing

Its sad to see the great fighters from the 80s n 90s who we're warriors paying the price for them great battles with their health today! 😢
after the first jackson fight G man was complaining of bad headaches - despite winning the fight he took some heavy shots from JJ also he got rid of Emmanuel Steward as his trainer and these were the beginning of the end for him IMHO
You don’t see fights like this anymore loss of a great era true gladiators
Apparently McClellan was not nice, he was into dog fighting, I heard he got done for duct taping dogs jaws together then getting his pitbulls to rip them apart. I'm pretty sure this is true, so he won't be getting a penny from me.
This isn't about him goofball, his sister has given up her entire life and marriage to keep caring for him. Also, no human being deserves to suffer poverty and disability for dog fighting. You are morally bankrupt
@@LORDJODYE It's all about him, I'm not going to resort to name calling coz I'm moraly right in this one whats morally bankrupt is TAPING A DOGS JAWS SHUT AND GETTING ANOTHER DOG TO RIP IT APART, FFS. There are many many more deserving causes than this one please give to one of them.
@@LORDJODYE and I didn't say he deserved what happened to him, just that I wouldn't give him any money.

Fun fact,, Gerald was sick evil barstard who ended up with a rather large slice of karma
I do find it to have respect for people who fight dogs
He didnt fight dogs, but he did tape up small dogs to be chewed up by his dog..
@@reasonabledoubt6908 ye I heard that too
Don King, for that second fight sc 0:07 umball. You can see that he got swarmed and had his eye problems. He need a little more time to get it together. But G-Man was destroying everybody anyway. Julian Jackson had a harder / punch power rate but G-Man was on another level with savagery and skill. Crunch Gym turned out a monster with that one and he had everybody shook. If round1 had happened today between he and Nigel Benn, they would have stopped that. Jackson did a lot of damage to him though but G-Man was a Savage on the other level. I only compartmentalizing deal with people with their boxing careers, I don't get into people's personal lives. He was a beast in the ring but I thought highly of Julian Jackson as well.
The G-Man was a straight up killer with beautiful footwork I actually think he has the best left hook to the body of all time
My heart breaks for this man. He was meant for greater tings. Benn was in survival mode the night they fought, nobody was beating Benn that night. So sad the way it all went down down. These are the risks in this sport. A horrible reality at times.

Benn was the guvnor, no doubt about it... from round 2 onwards Gerald got proper bashed, even when it looked like he was winning Benn clobbered him . head and body he was ripped apart.. all the dodgy enhancers taken by McClellan could not help him in against a real tough nut with Nigel Benn. he hit Benn with everything and Benn just kept on coming at him...... the cornermen done something that night that almost killed Gerald and left him terribly disabled. and guess who was also in that corner DON KING.... he had just lost millions due to Gerald quitting ?,,,,,
Don't feed Labradors to your Pitbull Gerald you will regret it !
Now Jackson is training McCellan's son.
Manny Steward told some of us once that Gerald McClellan was the meanest (as an individual) fighter he ever worked with. He said he was just a cruel individual top to bottom. Just something I always remembered, I do feel bad for the guy and always have. Tragic story about a guy whose Bad Karma seemingly caught up to him.
I saw that interview with Manny Steward too. He said McClellan had the widest mean streak in any boxer he ever trained. And he's trained many of the toughest fighters.
@@tomhatton3303 I never heard an interview with Manny talking about McLellan that way, but I can here him plain as day. Me and a few others were fortunate enough to get to talk with Manny prior to an event we were all attending at Freedom Hall in Louisville back in 97', it was an exhibition fundraiser to raise money for what would become the Ali Center. He kindly shared many stories of experiences with his fighters, some good and some not so good, but him talking about Gerald McClellan always stuck with me. It was clear he didn't want to say anything negative at that time about the guy, but clear also that he really had nothing good to say either. He just referred to him several times as a very cruel and mean intended human being, and that he never was able to relate to him as an individual, and that his and McClelland partnership was 100% buisness and nothing more. I believe he genuinely loved to mentor young fighters, not just to be champions, but also to become men. A few names, specifically Gerlad and one other, he never wished to have any personal relationship with.
His other so called trainer after Steward said the exact same thing. He said that when he tried to say a prayer for him before the Benn fight Gerald looked at him and mocked him, all of a sudden you're M'Fing religious now?
@@VCthaGOATdunker Damn!! 😬 that's crazy.
Sounds about white . Y'all want us to forget about y'all past but don't forget about our past . Typical white people 🙄
Karma caught up with Gerald. Karma and Nigel Benn's toughness
Jackson hit a bit harder ,but Mcclelan can hit effective counter punch.His punch is more accurate and also more explosive.
At the finish of the 2nd fight ........."He hit him on the top of the head on the way down and he's totally disorientated". Who hires these guys? Seriously? It was a body shot, pure and simple. The shot the commentator is talking about, we can't even tell if it connects or not. Honestly.......It makes a joke out of boxing!!!
Its crazy that the first fight, a championship fight at that, was an undercard fight to chavez and lennox lewis respectively. That wdv been an epic ppv in today's game
Imagine a McClellan vs. Roy Jones or James Toney around 95-96, how good would that have been? Sadly we'll never know.
Jackson done the damage Benn was unlucky. Ged should not have been fighting.
It was Julian Jackson that cause the damage to McClellan before he faught benn!
G man won the fight but the damage he took from Julian Jackson caused or made it possible to Suffer his traumatic brain injury Julian Jackson was a
Generational puncher
Jackson and McClennan hit so hard!
Real boxers that don’t play!
The days of no joking in the sport.
Jackson definitely could’ve won that first fight,but left himself exposed.
The second fight was all about Gerald’s composure on finishing Julian.
And this shows how great NIGEL BENN was with beating Gerald at his peak.
We have to pay full respect to Julian Jackson for an amazing knockout ratio.
And will always be considered an legend for somehow getting through that night against Bomber Graham🥊
Dog fighting is disgusting and Gerald deserves no sympathy…
McClellan should not have told Nigel Benn AND his father he was going to put them both in a wheelchair
Julian Jackson is one of the hardest punchers is weight
division, no one can dispute that fact, but he has also
been knocked out six times. he deliver a hard punch but
can't take one.
The thing is you have to really slow down the footage to see punches, that is how fast these guys are. Shame we never saw Julian vs Mike Mcallum 2, or Mike vs G Man.
He got what he deserved in the end.. id call that bitter sweet
Let me guess you sleep with dogs
Your videos are so good! Keep up the good work!
Benn unintentionally head butted McLellan in the face not long before he went unconscious . I saw it the first time I saw the fight and haven’t heard anyone else point it out.
Had great potential but was a horrible bastard in real life if stories I've heard about his torture of dogs in particular. If true he got what he deserved.
Julian Jackson was past his prime 🤬🤬🤬
I wonder did any of this get paid by Don King or did they get ripped off by that snake like he did most of his fighters.
Gerald and Jackson are REAL champions NEVER BORING 🪴 like Floyd Mayweather Jr 🪴🪴🪴!
The Hawk should have stayed at 154. McClellan was too big for him. I saw both fights live on PPV back in the days when I was a young stud.

I see a lot of fans slating Benn saying it's his fault that McLellan is in the situation he is in because of rabbit punches, i would say that isn't the case, it was purely accidental, and he looked damaged going in to that fight. You can't ship clean blows from a puncher like Jackson and be fine, then go and fight a banger like Benn.
Good man, respectful and an emotional way to end this video. Both fighters deserve their HOF.
Your content is great for such an old fight the quality videos you have is great and also wha a great fighter or fighters should I say
Gerald McClellan was a hell of a fighter. He twice fought, and convincingly beat another truly great fighter is Julian Jackson. However, he did not escape unscathed. I believe, as do many others, Jackson's powerful blows to McClellan's head did permanent damage that would eventually be worsened in his final bout against Nigel Benn. McCellan complained of repeated headaches after the last McClellan bout.
I was once a lot more sympathetic of the crippling injuries McClellan suffered during his boxing career. What changed my opinion of him is when I learned of his involvement in dog fighting. It is bad enough to participate in something far more brutal, something fully inhumane that is boxing, but McClellan took it a step further. According to his own trainer McClellan once allowed his Pit Bull to savagely kill a defenseless dog after having taped the mouth of the dog closed. From that point forward, including to this day, I have little sympathy for McClellan. I figure he got payment in full for the cruelty he had inflicted upon another living creature. Karma is a real bitch, and McClellan's barbarism provoked Karma that was not just a bitch, but a truly pissed and vengeful bitch. The old motto 'Do unto other, blah, blah, blah" apparently does not apply to how we are to treat other people. He abused one of God's greater creations, man's best friend, so God gave him the reward he had earned. And the day will come where Gerald will stand before. Maybe God will figure he's been punished enough. Then again, maybe not.
Karma? It doesn't exist. Did karma get Stalin, or Mao, or Mugabe, or Amin? Of course not! Karma is like God, a pretence in justice being served. It hardly ever is.
As Mark just stated, there is no such thing as karma and you're just being an imbecile who is far from sinless himself.
This is going to be the story for Spence and Bud’s dispute
Like most Kayo specialists, vulnerable to the Kayo himself. Which is what makes them so exciting to watch
I like labradors so what happened to GM is all good
Their second fight should not have happened when it did. Don King being the a****** that he was, I did not give Julian Jackson enough time to take care of his eye situation, he was swarmed in the second fight. Watch the first fight, it was a war. Just like Don King didn't let Buster Douglas train due to court proceedings, when he faced holifield. The second fight shouldn't have happened at that time. G-Man was a beast though I was truly crushing people
His hair is all still there at the end lol that's the most amazing part of the video
Thank you for posting the gofundme link. Donated and hopefully he will exceed his goal. The man deserves so much for all he gave to the sport and the fans.
I know it’s a controversial opinion but I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for Gerald and the life he has now. To go a buy a Labrador, tape it’s mouth closed and then throw it in with your pitbull to be torn to pieces is utterly inhumane. I hope he has nightmares every time he closes his eyes.
Wishing someone more suffering helps nothing. Dudes lost almost everything at this point and is a completely different person, can have some empathy without supporting someone's negative actions. The documentary with Benn is tough to watch
Possibly the greatest boxer of all time, extreme power, so sad what happened. Wasn't even close to being in his prime. Incredible speed, technically gifted boxer.
Nonsense, zero defence
And then came benn
Possibly the greatest boxer of all time? Really? Your comment is on the wrong video….this isn’t about Ali or Sugar Ray Robinson…..or a whole host of others that can be described as the greatest boxers.
McClellan was awesome (incredible puncher, rangy, great chin, not scared of anyone etc) but never a great….maybe potential unfulfilled however we will never know how his career may have turned out.
He was a beast.....until he met the dark destroyer
I'm a massive fan of nigel but I don't think he would have stopped a healthy Mclennan.
@@peterbalac1915 where is the evidence to suggest mclellan wasn't healthy?all fighters carry damage from previous battles and nigel Benn had been in a few wars himself before he fought mClellan.boxing is as much about intangibles as it is power and skill.heart,desire,will and punch resistance are all things that cannot be measured but can somers overcome power and skill and Benn proved over mclellan.also mclellan saying his fights won't go over 3 rounds was a strange thing to say because what happens when your opponent is still there 5 or 6 rounds later??
3:50 Big Frank worried me when he interrupted the narrator with ‘…there’s a dangerous, dangerous, dangerous No1 hit man in America…’ if he said dangerous one more time my phone would’ve exploded and caught fire 😂
McClellan was a dangerous specimen...Flowers to my guy☄️🔥☄️🔥☄️🔥🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
BIGSHOUT TAH both Fighters.

(I Can Hear It!😜)
Hahaha I was just gonna comment about the song!! Such an epic one
..and then he met the Dark Destroyer....
Let's put this into perspective. Jackson was a washed up, almost blind, former welterweight, whereas McClelland intended to fight at light heavy. For those that feel sorry for what happened to McClelland after the Benn fight, consider karma, because he used to throw dogs with taped up mouths, to his pit bulls.
Two of the greatest Champions that the game has ever known. Thank you is not enough
