on the money breh..im blessed though that facially I don't look it
Ain't you married with seeds fam?Hoes still think I'm 24...
I just go with it.
On topic, this fight is brutal to watch crazy to think of the difference 8lbs makes.
I am fam. I don't cheat or anything like that. Hell I don't even actively flirt. But when girls try to flirt with me even after I tell them I'm married, they just can't believe my age.

Tarick Salmaci, a Kronk Gym fighter, claimed later in an interview that he had sparred with McClellan over a year before the Benn fight, and that after McClellan was hit by a jab thrown by Salmaci, McClellan started to blink hard and the session had to be stopped. McClellan initially claimed that he was thumbed, but later admitted to Salmaci in the locker room that he was in fact seriously hurt. Salmaci said that he found it strange that a fighter with McClellan's chin wearing headgear was being hurt by a jab, and that when he noticed McClellan blinking during the Benn fight in the same way, Salmaci was immediately aware that McClellan was in serious trouble. Also notable in hindsight was McClellan complaining of getting regular headaches after his first fight with Julian Jackson in May 1993. In the fight, McClellan's chin resisted Jackson's formidable punching power before McClellan won the fight in round 5, but Jackson's punches may have done some damage to McClellan's brain, such as concussions, that were not noticed at the time.[10]

you already..between that & Gman & Emanuel Steward breaking up before the fight it wasn’t a good situation at all smh..I think Mccellan was tryna ignore the damage he suffered for that big payday vs Benn
Yeah.. the Steward break up was kind of wild. To then train with that weird dude.
i heard a sick but not shocking story of when Don King visited G-Man in the hospital whilst G was in a coma state, King was on his knees praying for 5 mins and his son (Carl) said to his Father, I hope your prayers work Dad..Don replied Yes the rematch would sell like a Michael Jackson Concert.
