A Decade Later. The Gerald McClellan Tragedy.

422

by Richard T. Slone

February 25th will mark a decade. The tenth year that former middleweight champion Gerald McClellan has struggled with life since his fight with Nigel Benn left Gerald with permanent brain damage.

It’s been a decade since McClellan and Benn battered each other close to death. McClellan has been under the constant care of his two sisters, Lisa and Sandra, since. The war of 1995 left him blind, partially deaf and unable to care for himself.

Gerald is completely blind, his eyes are healthy but the signal to his brain is on a short circuit and his brain has trouble recognizing sounds, his brain injury also caused short-term memory loss. His sense of humor is still intact, as is his will to make the most of everyday. His compassion is also intact, the once fearsome brawler cried when he learned Roy Jones got knocked out.

Gerald lived his young life as a lion, and in that I mean he ruled his domain, he was invincible for a few years and lived life to the fullest. As someone once told me, “It’s better to live just one day as a lion, then a lifetime as a lamb”. Gerald McClellan knew what it was like to be the lion.

Boxing is a brutal sport, and the combatants know it, shortly before his battle with Benn, McClellan told the press that he was willing to die in the ring instead of losing. Gerald was a warrior to the fullest extent, he lived by the sword and was willing to die by the sword – the sport he loved built him up and then tore him down.

Today, his bank account is empty, medical bills took all of that and he’s supported by his sisters who have dedicated their lives to the care of the G-Man. His sisters work multiple jobs to make ends meet. The promoters, managers, entourage and business partners are all gone, when the money left, so did they. When the McClellans reached out for financial help, few even returned calls.

“Fighters, fans and promoters should all help Gerald” said former heavyw
eight great Smokin’ Joe Frazier, who once drove 13 hours through snow to attend a fundraiser for Gerald. “In the boxing business, you can get your brain’s shook, your money took and your name in the undertakers book. It’s time people pull together for Gerald.”

Gerald lived his life as a lion, but now he’s the lamb, fortunately he has his sister to shepherd him through the rest of his life.

    One thing is the fact one of the most typical incentives for using your card is a cash-back and also rebate supply. Generally, you’re going to get 1-5 back on various expenditures. Depending on the card, you may get 1 again on most acquisitions, and 5 in return on purchases made using convenience stores, filling stations, grocery stores along with ‘member merchants’.

    One other issue is when you are in a situation where you will not have a cosigner then you may genuinely wish to try to wear out all of your school funding options. You could find many funds and other free college funding that will supply you with funds to help you with education expenses. Thanks for the post.

    I have really learned some new things from a blog post. One other thing to I have recognized is that typically, FSBO sellers are going to reject a person. Remember, they’d prefer not to ever use your companies. But if anyone maintain a gentle, professional partnership, offering help and keeping contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually be capable of win a business interview. From there, a house listing follows. Cheers

    I have figured out some significant things through your blog post. One other thing I would like to express is that there are plenty of games available and which are designed in particular for toddler age little ones. They involve pattern acknowledgement, colors, animals, and shapes. These often focus on familiarization instead of memorization. This will keep children occupied without sensing like they are learning. Thanks
