Nigel Benn VS. Gerald McClellan – 2/25/95 – Part 6 – After The Fight!
Part 6 of 6: In one of the most aggressive fights ever, Nigel Benn wins as Gerald McClellan takes a knee in the 10th Round and is unable to continue. It would be the end of McClellan’s career as he collapsed after the fight. He was rushed to the hospital where he spent 11 days in a coma. When he woke up he was unable to walk, blind and 80% deaf.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
@Bengreen. Im not being nieve and I understand that Benn was pumped up. As for how he acted, hes since said that he feels bad about his behaviour, as well as McClellans state, not that Benn directly caused it, but it was more an accumulation over the years. Theres a show on TV on Monday about the fight, and how Benn and McClellan have met since etc. It looks pretty emotional. I still say that if your opponent is laid out for 20 mins, you should at least go over and see whats wrong.
THE BEST AND WORST FIGHT EVER
@chandley1976 you said you saw the fight so you would of seen how EPIC it was, how was he to know the severity of McClennen condition, all that Emotion all that Adrenaline, he just took the beating of his life and came out the Winner, he took a lot of grief pre fight from promoters etc so he had a lot he wanted to say. Dont be so Nieve and judge Benn on his emotions before he even left the ring.
@CoronaJoe You Muggy Twat, U.S, Canada where ever u come from, lets face it if it wasnt for England you wouldn be sitting there tapping away on your Laptop like the Twat you are. You are nothing but a product of the British Empire. About 5% of us talks like that and even we think there Wankers, but back to the Wanky Yanky’s its Dicks like you that makes not just England but the rest of the World think you are a buch of Muggy Cunts.
@tharleyify Yeah but thr clash of heads had nothing to do with wat happened, it was merly a chance for McCellen to get 10 sec breath.
@LIVINGONTHEDOLE Totally agree, best and worst fight EVER
saddest story ever !!!!
What a foul human being Don King is.
@CoronaJoe and i bet benn would knock your fat ass out
These comentators are fucking idiots! He is lying there completely motionless with his eyes closed and they are saying things like……….“Maybe its his eye due to the head butt!“ and „I am amazed he quit“ WHAT!!?
Don King is a scumbag. PERIOD
American commentry very harsh on McClellan taking a knee and calling McClellan a quitter…..
Also said that the headbutt is deliberate….such rubbish.
I’m sorry, as tragic as it was for Gerald, he knew the risks! The thing that sadden’s me is he made so much money for Boxing, yet Boxing has let him down because financially he’s a mess…Boxing’s shame!
The ring doctor fit’s a neckbrace. Then is seen fitting a catheter to his right arm & give’s him shot 0:40 / 0:60, then the oxygen mask is applied. Still Pacheco witter’s on about who’s the champion. I mean for the record Benn genuinely slipped over & caught McCellan head with his head.
I also think the big right Benn threw in the 10th connected bigtime & that’s the punch that did it.
carlton leach at 5:16 blood on his forehead, just headbutted a bodyguard.
Oi you canadian cunt! That boy done u there
Damn shame!
@s3c0ndsk1n Spot on! I couldn’t have put it better myself
@LTJLover334
lol. I got in trouble on a Radio show for Univsersity for saying „All black people are racist“ even though the context in which I said it was a topic about humour and irony. I sent an e-mail telling them to read what irony means. The complaint was repealed.
@chadwi12 typical american, always judging a whole nation on one mans actions, wait a minute did i just contradict myself
@mufc0707 same
this is so sad to watch, i only heard of this when i was the itv documentary adverts, i do wonder how these sorts of things were unnoticed before the fight what with the spitting blood before the fight
Yeah why do u yanks think we British talk like The Queen? I come from the North West England and I tell ya we sound nout th’like the Queen.
roy jones saw this fight and thought „Im gonna make like a black father and get the fuck outta hear“
Why all this hate? Boxing isn’t about nationalities, it is about two men going toe to toe, neither giving an inch. This was a truly great fight with tragic consequences. I agree that Benn showed a real lack of grace after the fight but I suspect that he was just so pumped up on adrenaline and didn’t realise how serious McClelland’s condition was. Benn took a lot of punishment in that fight as well, it could easily have been him these are the chances that boxers take when they step in the ring.
