      I agree, not only did GM take heavy headshots from JJ in the first fight, he also took them in infamous & regular sparring sessions in the Kronk. It is noticeable, again, in their first meeting, that GM was exhibiting blinking & pushing out of his gumshield consistent with what was noted in the NB fight; clearly far less frequently, but te signs were there. Previously, this gesturing was thought to be just idiosyncrasies particular to GM, but, in hindsight, more likely indicators of repeated neurological trauma. In his contest with NB, GM took a lot of hooks to the head, many of those landing as rabbit punches due to the forward momentum of both fighters & Benn was a known headhunter, rarely throwing body shots; in addition to the concussive head punches he took, his style made him prone to head clashes & this was certainly the case in the fight with NB.

    • @JeffJackson-bg8rg
      @JeffJackson-bg8rg Před 26 dny

      It was the roided out benn and his non stop rabbit punches, low blows, head butts, and a slow count in round #1 (never shouldve went past 1) Refs to blame, corner man to blame too. If he had Emanuel Steward in his corner still, I truly believe this outcome would not have been, Steward wouldve blown his mind at the refs, including a voluntary stoppage after the 10th rabbit punch and 2nd head butt. He protected his fighters. Just my .02.

      Guys fighting at the championship level make an enormous amount of money, and could easily afford both insurance and retirement plans; even as an independent (incorporated or LLC). But no one teaches athletes to manage their money. They go from being kids with nothing to suddenly having access to potentially millions of dollars...while still being basically kids. Everyone picks and paws at them, from managers, accountants, agents, lawyers, and even their own family members. They also have the invincibility complex that most 20-somethings have where they don't think the good times are going to end. Before they know it, an injury happens, a better athlete comes along, or even just natural process of aging and their career is over.
      As to after-career benefits: there is NO WAY any professional sport would be able to maintain itself if they were continuing to pay for the thousands and thousands of retired athletes who no longer make the organization money. Is it a bit tragic that athletes are viewed as disposable assets? Yep, but those athletes could also spend time focused on how to manage their money instead of living it up during the short time their careers will transpire. Save now, live it up when retired by the time they are 30.

He complained about headaches after taking too many hard shots from Julian. The damage was done there long before the Benn fight and it’s tragic conclusion destroying Gerald’s life and robbing fight fans of what could’ve been…McClellan v Roy Jones Jr, Toney or Bernard Hopkins.

      Those punches did alter his life forever. Had Jackson not had those vision problems in the second fight it would have been a great fight as well but I think G-Man would have beat them anyway. He was a different type of savage. Julian Jackson had one punch knockout power that was harder but G-Man was a whole other type of swarm fighter. If that Nigel Benn fight hadn't happened and it wasn't the power of Nigel Benn that did it either. Watch that fight closely. If Richard Steele would have been there, he would have called that fight in the first round. Lol. Wish he had. G-Man was a monster in the ring

He kindly shared many stories of experiences with his fighters, some good and some not so good, but him talking about Gerald McClellan always stuck with me. It was clear he didn't want to say anything negative at that time about the guy, but clear also that he really had nothing good to say either. He just referred to him several times as a very cruel and mean intended human being, and that he never was able to relate to him as an individual, and that his and McClelland partnership was 100% buisness and nothing more.

Don King is one man I wish had nothing to do with boxing. He is a remorseless sociopath with no care, or sense of moral duty, he cares only for money and control, that’s it. King also had a hand in coercing McClellan to leave Manny Steward, no doubt it was about money. King was already squabbling with McCllellans family over, fees, prize money, and expenses within weeks of McClellans near death brain injury. King eventually came good with McClellans money, he paid what was agreed with a small amount on top due to medical cost and domestic costs immediately after and when he returned to the US. It’s probably the only thing King ever done right in his life.

    McClellan was a savage puncher. Such a shame when a young, fit guy has it all snatched away. Injured ex fighters get wheeled out when convenient but I get the feeling the likes of McClellan are basically forgotten by boxing. A small percentage of the profit for every boxing match should go to an injured fighter scheme. Ex world champs like McClellan shouldn't have to live and die in poverty. Boxing is the most corrupt, most dodgy sport. When I see the likes of Jake Paul allegedly earn millions from fixed fights and circus acts it makes me puke.
