I was just thinking how different of a post-fight interview this is than the one Floyd Mayweather had with Larry Merchant, lol...........But then again, I guess that's the difference: Some people have class, respect, dignity, and character, and then again some don't. Gatti and Ward define class and heart. Mayweather, as much as I love watching the guy fight, and as great as he is, he will always be remembered as that: A great fighter. But a fighter with no class; no character. Sad.
You absolutely never see two guys standing there admitting in front of each other right after the fight that they were hurt, tired, in danger of losing, etc. These guys not only respect each other but they're honest, good sports who don't bullshit themselves or the audience.
Gatti breaks his hand: "Of course I want to continue. It takes more than that to stop me in a fight". Imagine a soccer player if he broke his hand... which he doesn't even use in his sport.
Yes, great trilogy, but the truth of the matter is that Mickey Ward was not the same fighter after the first fight. He was an old fighter already, and the first fight took what was left of him.
@vamoalla9 Didn't change the fact that they were all fascinating fights that were highly enbtertaining. These fights were about heart and courage and that's why they inspired.
haha my hand hurting, yet he did all this.. then i think david haye's little toe hahahahaaaaaa david needs to watch this and grow the fuck up! He can't call himself a fighter after seeing this! A boxer maybe, but not a fighter
after watching the fighter i wanted to more a bit more about mick ward......ive spent the last couple of hours watching gatti vrs ward 1 2 3.......wow..what fights..i though the first fight was the best....and the respect they show to eacthother....is great.....maybe david haye amir khan etc..could sit and watch this.....love both gatti and ward....and you find much more on them both......
"nah i just wanted to let him know i hurt my hand, of course i wanted to continue, ya know it takes more then that to stop me in a fight, ya know i came here to win tonight..."
@dianabol75 Ehhh Gatti could be impressive at times. He could box and move pretty well when he felt like it. Problem is he didn't seem to feel like it much.
Gatti won fights 2 and 3. Ward won the first. After that fight, and retiring, Ward was in the corner of Gatti for the rest of Gatti`s fights. 2 amazing people-
larry merchant is a fucking idiot ive been watching him do post fight interviews for like 15 years and im still waiting for one of the fighters to just knock him the fuck out NO ONE LIKES YOU LARRY DIE ALREADY
Two great fighters and sportsmen. I love the resepct they had for eachother. They could go into the ring and totally punish eachother and then have the utmost humility when it was all said and done. Nothing like the majority of chumps in boxing today!
They share water and talk to each other for 6 minutes after a fight. Mayweather can't even talk for two minutes after a fight without getting all defensive and angry, much less share a water.
Mickey Ward stands for everything that is good about boxing. This guy is the real life Rocky. Brings tears to my eyes to watch this humble warrior do what he does. Its a great thing they made a movie about his life because alot of non-boxing fans have never heard of him. This guy is a true legend - right up there with the likes of other Boston legends Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Tom Brady
arturo gatti once said --> ( i used to wonder what would happen if i met my twin?, Now i know!)
Micky Ward on gattis death ---> part of me died with him
Epic trilogy of fights, two amazing warriors, was great how these to became friends with ward even training gatti in his last fights, some people think boxings about unbeaten records and cheery picking opponents, to me its seeing two warriors like these to never giving up and fighting to the end and fighting anybody!
yeah you and mayweather can go suck eachother cocks off for all i care!!! We all know you got a hard on for floyd .but you also know that mayweather does not have half the hart gatti or ward had .
mickey even sharing his water with gatti wow what a class act both these guys are i wis boxing would promote real fighters like these guys and not faggots like mayweather always ducking a good fighter
great times for boxing man, first it was don king and now is bob aurum and gayweather who are killing the beautifull sport of boxing.... FUCK U AURUM AND MAYWEATHER,
both ward and gatti were incredible athletes, gentlemen an epitomy of good sportsmanship. don king wrecked boxing these two were never part of don kings circus. RIP Gatti
@wickednicestuff i couldn't agree with you more, boxing died when don king started to control the heavy weight division and it has never recovered,there are two or three good fighters in the lighter divisions but the h'weight div is a mess and doesn't look like recovering, there are too many micky mouse championship belts out there as well.
I was very impressed with the fact they both admitted they were hurt. Most guys are interviewed after a knock out "No, he never hurt me..." These two guys were tough, classy fighters. Neither was the best in his division, but both were very, very good and both were very, very tough. Gatti's death remains a tragedy no matter how it went down.
THIS is what boxing, hell sports should be all about
You go at each other full on in the ring but before and after the fact they look like they're the best of friends. Much respect to both and esp RIP Gotti
these heroes just confirm me more in my dislike of floyd mayweather jr.. Sorry but i just don't like him, his style and what he stands for. Mickey and Arturo are/were, pure warriors, LIONS!
These guys put everything they had on the line and it was awesome, amazing trilogy of fights, i only dream of seeing fights like these days in boxing today
i love the respect these guys have for each other thats what boxings all about!
