Gemmill 47712 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 It was a brilliant fight. Horrendous how he ended up though - I'm assuming it's McLellan (was that his name??). Can't watch that clip from work, will have a look at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 47712 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Bloody hell, that's desperately sad. Awful that no one from the boxing community bothers with him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Talksport had Nigel Benn on this afternoon, apparently Benn saw that clip on youtube and was so moved that he has arranged a charity gala night will all proceeds going to the McClellan fund. www.geraldmcclellan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind, how could you not be moved watching something like that knowing you did it to the bloke, albeit with no intention to see him end up like that.

God knows how Benn must feel, I never felt the same about boxing after being in the crowd for that fight, yet alone being the bloke who handed out the beating.

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The worst boxing one was that time some complete twat took out the inside padding from his gloves and his opponent (Irish i think) took a battering to the head for the whole contest and it ended up killing him i think, though not directly after, it was absolutely scandelous.

Aye, Al Resto Vs Billy Collins, Resto's cornerman, Panama Al Lewis ripped out over half the stuffing from his gloves, was sent to prison for assualt and banned from boxing for life.

Before locking him up for assualt i would have sentenced him to a fight with the current heavyweight champion at that time, who would be on a bonus for every punch landed (and would of course have removed the padding from his gloves first!)
