a forgotten boxing champion...

on February 25,1995,there was a boxing match between two WBC world champions,and only one walked out... Nigel Benn beat Gerald McClellan in a real brawl,that saw McClellan knock down Benn many times,including out of the ring(aka Dempsey/Firpo),and the fight went to TKO 10,to Benn,but shortly after the 10th round,McClellan collapsed in the ring,and had brain surgery that left McClellan blind and almost totally deaf... a cautionary tale of boxing,for sure,but boxing fans and others have forgotten about McClellan,but not the WBC and a New York-based Ring 10,but mostly the boxing community have forgotten,but there is a fund raising dinner on Saturday,named,"a evening honoring the G-Man...",in Illinois... just hope they raise enough funds for McClellan... note:there is a fund raising page online,and i will donate something,next month,if at all possible...
