    The sister knows in her heart of hearts, her family are to blame for the retarted decision to get him on a flight to America, so Benn is an easy target for her guilt and anger.

    Well as long as she can channel the rage and guilt to look after her brother for the rest of his life, i guess some good can come out of it.

    According to Lueshing the filming starts in April. There will still be a lot of filming to do. A lot of voiceover work, a lot of interviews and then all the editing.

    Still plenty meat to put in this one.

    yeah mate, but I've seen a similar programme about this fight, some of those interviews are from that programme in that trailer.

    What's this prog/doc you speak of dude?

    Only time I recognise some of those quotes/clips are from a few years back on ITV Boxing where there was a few mins raising awareness for the Gerald McClellan benefit evening.

    I spoke with Bobby Razak a few weeks ago and he said ITV were trying to buy footage of his film 'Fallen Solider' to use in this new documentary about the fight.

    "It was McLellan's family that ****ed his recovery up. They insisted he be removed from the UK and flown back home to the states, when he was already in a stable recovery in a UK Hospital............i beleave then Mcllellan condition got allot worse when he was flown home"

    remember watching this fight.

    as i did all the big fights of that era.

    still one of the best fights i've ever seen.

    obviously such a tragic outcome.

    it's a shame his family have never really forgiven nigel.
