Highlights of the devastating punching former WBO and WBC Middleweight world champion. The G-Man!
TikTok: / hanzagod_1
Gerald McClellan - Is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1988 to 1995. He is a two-time middleweight world champion, having held the WBO title from 1991 to 1992, and the WBC title from 1993 to 1995. McClellan was forced to retire from boxing after a severe brain injury suffered during his final fight in 1995, a loss to WBC super middleweight champion Nigel Benn. Known for his formidable punching power and one of the highest 1st-round-knockout ratios in the history of boxing, McClellan was dubbed "a miniature Mike Tyson" by his promoter, Don King.

One of the most destructive punchers in boxing history! The G Man was a ferocious fighter who was trained by the late great Emanuel Steward for a large portion of his career. McClellan was infamous for his aggressive style, 1 punch knockout power in either hand and his lethal left hook to the body. The untimely end of his boxing career was tragic but in his prime he was an absolute force to be reckoned with. The G Man at his devastating best! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod

[@JustinG1978]

Should’ve stuck with Emanuel, but he didn’t like to train. Emanuel ditched Moorer to concentrate on him full time.

[@vince11harris]

@@JustinG1978it was because of Don King.

[@andrewdevitt9380]

Don king is a donkey , had Benn signed or ready to after the fight . Depending who was victorious he'd stick with. While mcclellan was backstage he was still out in front cutting deals . Nearly every boxer has something bad to say about him. As gerald goes one of my favourite boxers . Lethal with them hands , tko'd the biggest puncher in the division twice. Had Benn out of there in the first only for the ref's incompetence. He complained of headaches after the first Jackson fight. Don king called him the mini mike tyson, more like Tommy hearnes. Height, reach , power , skill and the kronk gym .glad to see he's getting healthier to my knowledge he is up walking unattended. A true warrior the g-man.

[@christiandinhopasillas9163]

Gerald and Salvador are in my eyes boxing’s biggest cases for “greatest that never were”. Due to the unfortunate circumstances, we didn’t get to see their full potential be realized. Great vid as always!

[@VexLLBBX]

Some other examples of boxers who we quite never saw the full potential: Edwin Valero (hanged himself at the peak of his career) Laszlo Papp (was forced to retire and couldn't fight for the world title) George Benton (got shot and had to retire from boxing)

[@haitianmaniac74]

Gerald had time to improve his defense he just didn't

[@mikeshinoda703]

Another one was maybe Pirog. Didn't have as many fights at top level as mentioned above but looked very good

Very nice. There are a lot of highlights of Gerald McClellan on KZbin at this point, but this one stands out, as most Hanzagod highlights do. This isn't just the same old same with some aggressive rock or rap music in the background. This is thoughtful art in my opinion.

[@hanzagod]

Thanks William glad you like it!

One of the saddest fates in boxing 😥Amazing fighter in his prime

[@connorbegley2539]

Im from Liverpool and Benn is one of our countrys best fighters but I genuinely think McClellan would have smoked him if he was 100% healthy when they fought because it was obvious there was something wrong with him during the build up

[@oldschoolboxing6048]

Yeah. McClellan was sparring with concussions before the Ben fight. Sparring had to be stopped several times due to blinding headaches. They shouldn’t have allowed that.

[@garrettohyeah7365]

You are a real one. Pretty much every brit I've seen comment about mcclellan vs been talk as if Benn beat the piss out of mcclellan, as if Mclellan wasn't ahead on the scorecards while suffering from a traumatic brain injury

[@fumbi6725]

9 times out of ten he beats Benn!! His body failed him

[@brunovaz2841]

💯💯

[@mickg7299]

Lot of talk pre fight of McClellan having eye problems.

[@LowTierFallout]

At the time I think he held the record for fastest middleweight title defense ever. Destructive body puncher. He didn’t have the most varied attack pattern but it was effective.

[@decidingpaper6324]

I believe that was the KO against 17-1 Jay Bell, which is also the fastest body shot KO ever

[@khalidbinwaleed5072]

My favourite boxer we have the same birthday. Weight class and boxing style

[@jasonellis9777]

It horrible what happened to him. So many fights he missed. Guy really could have changed the outcome of a lot of fighters career paths. Roy, Toney, Nunn, ect. With his frame there is no doubt he would have been at light heavyweight at some point. Sad. Guy had that special power.

[@Beast12]

Gerald McClellan was such a great boxer and tremendous puncher and got such amazing leverage on his punches,such a shame we didn’t get to c more from his career and how it panned out but what we did c of him we saw a technically sound and unbelievable punching boxer

[@mickg7299]

Benn said Gerald McClellan was the only opponent that he truly feared.

[@2383Scorpio]

The G-Man was indeed at his devastating best despite having a short career due to his tragic injury against Nigel Benn. Had he fought healthy, he would have a money fight with Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Chris Eubank and Joe Calzaghe just to name several. Keep it up.

[@-Andre-Rodrigues]

Another great upload! Must watch vid! 👊

[@davidmccoy96]

Crazy to see Julian Jackson and Nigel Benn getting pounded when they were usually the ones knocking people tf out.

[@RaffyvanDorpel]

Thank you haznagod, watched Gerald’s routes to the body on repeat. Having mobb deep on his highlights perfectly encapsulates the feeling McClellan gave. Thank you!! You’ve most likely got a busy schedule so this might me a long shot, but do you have anything of Angel Espinosa in the works? A killer of a boxer, fairly unknown to casuals, but was a complete wrecking ball in the 90s.

[@hanzagod]

Thanks bud glad you like it! I'll check out some footage of Espinosa over the next few days and see if it's enough to work with.

Excellent highlights review Could we possibly see highlights of Fernando Vargas and of Jorge Linares in the near future 🙌🏻🙌🏻👌🏻??

[@hanzagod]

I have a Linares highlight already and unfortunately my Vargas video was taken down a couple years ago, my channel received a copyright strike because of it. Someone did upload it on another website in quite poor quality if you want to watch it though: ok.ru/video/1350208326173

[@tysonisanobody]

@@hanzagod gotcha thanks , very nice work. 🙌🏻

[@daeroncolder8142]

I firmly believe that it was Julian Jackson who caused his brain damage. He hit the G-Man with absolute bombs to the head for 5 rounds. After their first fight, G-Man had regular strong headaches, ocasional blurred vision, and dizziness. He won against Jackson, but completely lost his health. Very sad.

[@hanzagod]

It's certainly possible but it also could have been a number of blows taken in sparring or in other fights. We'll just never know.

[@daeroncolder8142]

@@hanzagod Yeah that could be possible too. In my honest opinion, after having all of those symptoms, G-Man should've had a brain scan and retired from boxing in 1993. Nobody took care of him.

Use subtle footwork adjustments to create the illusion of predictable patterns.Angular Approach: As your opponent adjusts their guard to counter your initial feints, quickly shift your stance and angle of attack. Utilize lateral movement to position yourself slightly off-center from your opponent's line of vision. Execution of the "Serpentine Strike": Initiate the strike with a rapid, curving motion. This can be a lead hook or uppercut aimed at the exposed side of the opponent's body. The key is to execute the strike from an unexpected angle, bypassing their guarded position.Follow-Up Maneuvers: Immediately after landing the "Serpentine Strike," transition fluidly into a combination that exploits the opening created by the initial strike. Maintain dynamic footwork to adjust your positioning and continue pressing the attack from advantageous angles.
