AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 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...

I've seen a bit of film where he himself admited to tieing up labs for his pit bulls so no hyped up stories did my eyes see and i have no sympathy for a totaly cruel fecker like him who also took plessure in hurting people badly or trying to kill them in the ring (his own trainer says that on that film link).I haven't wished him ill but be a cnut and cnut things happen to you end of really that's all and a shame he wasn't looked out for ealier but he could of jacked himself anytime.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TUFFTY 1,476 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Nigel fell out with that prick warren. Warren and king sent over mcllelan to beat up/kill nigel. but it back fired on them big time. One day that cnunt Warren will get it. Mcllelans corner man is as mad as a box of spiders and should never of been in hes corner in the first place.

Ive watched it twice now and must of missed that bit when he says that I've not watched the vid that was put up so I don't know if if its on that but I do remember him saying that in the build up to the fight . Can't remember exactly where it was but he did say something like that . Just had a quick Google and there's a piece in the observer that mentions it . It says it was his dog deuce that did the lab after he took it home and taped its jaws shut in his basement Edited July 9, 2015 by neil r 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,252 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 yes & everything in the papers is 100% correct... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil r 1,844 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Of course it isnt , but theres more than the old news paper story about him and dog fighting online , including from mclellan jr and people who knew him although his sister does say its not true . Like i said though , i remember it from an interview on tv from way back but for the life of me i cant remember where . Might be he was just trying to make himself sound like a badboy to hype the fight but then again maybe he was just like that . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 his trainer(the twat in the hat) who sold the story to the press after the fight...he also had to be stopped selling McClellen's boxing kit by his sister...what you need to remember is this was the only fight Stan Johnson had worked McClellen's corner...Manny Stewert was his usual trainer...Johnson couldnt even manage to wrap McClellen's hands...he had to do it himself!...He'd already admitted his involvement with Pitbulls so that was old news...always sounded to me that Johnson made up something a little bit more tastier to sell to the press...you say the fight was the 'best you ever seen'...well that man gave the best part of his life for your entertainment...fcuk him the cnut...seems a bit harsh 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,025 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) 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 his own mind something wasnt quite right the minute he started the blinking/mouth open etc......having spoken to Nigel many times about the fight he knew early on it was going to be what he called " a Rocky fight " and he was prepared for that......Mcllellend wasnt prepared for that and that was the difference on the night Nigel knew he was going to spend periods of the fight with his back against the wall and was going deep into the trenches but he was one of the most natural fighting men ive ever seen and it brought the best out in him.... it was a tragic ending for both men Mcllellend for obvious reasons but also for Nigel as one of the greatest fights and greatest victories in British boxing history was tainted through no fault of his own. As for Mcllellend being a dog fighter etc......look at the pictures of the overweight specimens he showed off at press conferences,listen to the things he supposedly did,Windy City Combine who were the most well known outfit in his home state had never heard of him..........he was a backstreet hoodlum type who never matched a dog under correct rules and conditions......but again shitty as that is i still wouldnt wish the kind of badness on him that he ended up with.

neems 2,406 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 It's a shame we never got to see more of McClellan,he was an exciting fighter who imo would have gone far. imagine him vs Jones,Toney,Calzaghe,Eubank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Warren and king sent over mcllelan to beat up/kill nigel. but it back fired on them big time. One day that cnunt Warren will get it. Frank Warren was Benns promoter not his manager his manager was Peter Defreitas who wasnt really a boxing man and wasnt really a businessman he was just a local face of the day and Frank Warren knew he could eat him for breakfast in business......if my memory serves me right Nigel was supposed to fight Michael Nunn but Warren/King thought he would make easy work of him and so tried to knock 100k off Nigels purse......when Peter said no they said if you dont accept it we,re going to put Nigel in with Mclellend who was the killer of the division.......Peter and Nigel knew they was being threatened and called their bluff saying f**k it then we,ll fight Mclellend instead.........and the rest is history.
