oooooooooooo

Benn McClennand was the last fight I got this excited about

I got pretty excited about Calzaghe Lacy (had ringside for that!) and Calzaghe Kessler. But neither of those had that little edge to them that this one has (and that Leonard Hagler had, or Benn v The G Man)

The Benn fight was awesome, and when I say awesome I mean gnarly
