    Does anybody know if this was said to be caused by Benn repeatedly hitting G behind the head all fight?

    What a tragic story and scary as fuk ending to the fight.

    Who knows really. McClellan was said to have been suffering from frequent headaches after the first Jackson fight. That could mean something or it could mean nothing.

    Maybe all that extreme weight cutting also took a toll on him.

    He was winning too. I don't like how dirty Benn was. Celebrating while Gerald was on his back getting taken out in a stretcher.

    Gman used to spar with heavyweights with no headguard on (Kronk sparring)

    He complained about headaches way before this fight & had been in with some serious punchers

    Very sad how he ended up, he wasnt the nicest human being ever (feeding his pitbull spaniels with their mouths taped up) but you wouldnt wish what happened to him on your worst enemy. Benn helped with the fundraising after their brutal war which had perhaps the worst referee Ive ever seen.

    I guess that's why not many people visit him, esp other fighters or retired fighters. Good to see Roy helped him out. Strange Roy doesn't take a page out of his book and retire before he ends up like that. Come on Roy, Retire!!

    Yep, with their mouths taped up:-( He was into dogfighting as well.

    Such a talented boxer/puncher but not the nicest individual

    From what I read he use to get golden retrievers from kennels, he would time how long it took his pits to kill them. Pretty twisted dude.

    He probably had a pre-existing problem.

    The referee was bought. Benn could have hit him with a sledgehammer and he still wouldn't have been disqualified.

    I always love when Gerald is brought up and we get these loving people say he deserves to be in this condition for what he did with his dogs etc.
