Although i knew he had spent time in the Peacock i didnt know they wasnt his dogs so im wrong for that presumption.......a world class pro fighter posing with show staffs as fighting dogs maybe tells

I wouldnt wish permanent injury on any fighter it doesnt matter if they was an unsavioury character or not.....i believe Mcllellend showed unquestionable gameness in that fight as he would of known in

I can only say it as i saw it fireman...i watched all the build-up and read all the stuff in the boxing press/tabloids at the time...never heard McClellen say that story himself...it was Stan Johnson

Tragic how they didn't notice the guy couldn't even keep his gumshield in his mouth. .his corner let him down. .a lad I used to work with was ringside.. was a brutal fight. .but watching it back you can tell mclellan is in trouble

McClellen was a gob shite who had promised to really hurt Benn and openly stated he'd tie a dog up as a bait dog for his pit bulls,so fcuk him imo and that fight has got to be the best i've ever watched thats for sure...

Good to watch, he was obviously too used to fighters laying down and giving up, he should have never underestimated benn, he more than most as he should know what dead game was. That night benn was the stronger in the pit. In his world he was the pit bull and his other opponents were mere labs, that night he came up against another game pit. Nigel benn. Such a shame that night messed both mens lives up.

gob shite or not I wouldn't wish that on him.. McClellen was clearly suffering for a long time during the fight..kept losing his gum shield..excessive blinking..if he hadn't suffered the brain injury he'd have beaten Benn imo.. not taking anything away from Benn I was a big fan of his..I think I read somewhere that he didn't have his usual corner men in with him due to expenses. . Sad outcome whichever way you look at it.

If the ref was up to the job McLean would have had the fight won in the first round.
