ITV 1 now - Benn McClellan documentary

agree with the last couple of comments - seemed a bit all over the place.
have to say that nobody involved in boxing (with the honourable exceptions of kevin sanders and barry mcguigan) came out with any credit imho.
king and johnson are just 2 yank slimeballs who have never heard of the word 'principles' whilst i wasn't in the least bit convinced by benn. obviously felt hugely sorry for mclellan , but like my girlfriend said 'wonder what his attitude would've been if the boot had been on the other foot'
the ref was almost from another planet - it was as if this tragedy had never happened during his fight. for him it was an exercise in self justification and bigging himself up
at least big frank was brutally honest.
it was mclellan's sister who deserves the most credit - that is devotion beyond the call of duty - to care for someone with that many needs for so long deserves a medal.
made me also think that for all the moans, groans and complaints we have about early stoppages the referees have a very difficult job and that if we avoid another mclellan/owen/watson/stone then early stoppages are a price well worth paying

The doc was pretty powerful in places, but like others have said, it wasn't as substantial as it could have been. Be interesting to see what else is in the extended version next week.

Tempted by the Kevin Mitchell book - is it a good read?

 

Madness that the blame is still being passed around after all these years

 

Kevin Mitchell's book is definitely worth a read. Sets everything out better than last night did

 

Gerald's trainer has really blown up in size, and he was constantly sweating!

What do you reckon his problem is?

G-Mans sister is scum. Ok, she helps him out every day, but it's plain as day to see that she is a horrible ****.

 

It's on my list of things to watch tonight, along with;

Mares-Agbeko II
Life's Too Short (from last week)
Bunce (from last night)

 

Just a case of shite talking shite and to be honest i dont give a shite

 

Agree. this is the kind of thing channel 4 do a better job with.
