see, it's fights like this that prove why nobody is ever done in the sports world--not just Boxing. Throw in the NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS, Tennis, the MMA world, NHL...stuff like this proves that nobody is ever truly "done" in sports because stuff like this make it difficult for anyone to forget that these men did something as immortal as this..
How the fuck do u take that kind of punishment and keep coming. anyone who has boxed at any level knows that this is close to imposable and yet here it is. if i didnt know better i'd say both these fighters where on steroids. I forgot what an astonishing fight this was. thanks for the post.. keep the music
arturo gatti will never be forgotten. REST IN PEACE justice for your death will be servered.a true warrior and class act in every asset & a true champion. same for mickey as well
Micky Ward is an American hero. A blue collar guy who will go toe to toe with anyone. If you fail to see that IHOPEYOUDIECABBAGE then you are what's wrong with boxing. Also you probably don't have the balls in your pants to step in the ring with another man.
@brew667 I love this fight also its my number 2 top fight of all time. number 1 belongs to corrales vs. castillo 1. but gatti ward did have the triology
3 of the best fights ever not including ALI vs FRAZIER 1 and the lay down between sugar ray and Marvelous Marvin(my favorite fighter ever). In the movie the fighter i wish they would have used real tape!
Love the music in the backround. Great fight. I watch this video before i go run and it gets me in the zone. ashame gatti died. RIP. woulda been great to see these two fighters in their old age talking about this fight.
how in the world was this fight of the year? shane cameron vs winston palu was 100x better. guess it just goes to show how fixed boxing is, just used this fight to make a movie. 2 guys throwin jabs like they're sparring is fight of the year, insanity in 2k 4 boxing.
3 rnds of something happening vs 10 of jack shit. # of rnds doesnt make a better fight......this wasnt even good enough to make the movie about his life. w....t....f.....r....u....sayin?
Thanks. I remember watching this live, no one in the house was sitting for the whole fight. I wish they would have covered this in the movie, but they can make a whole other one this trilogy. Only athletes that I think were underpaid.
Amazing! Why aren't there fights like this anymore? Boxing has become a sport domnated by overpaid pretty boys too afraid to risk a real competitive fight.
Now this is a fight. Irish Mickey Ward & Gatti, two great fighters. Great Film the fighter, pity it didint cover these fights, maybe theres a sequel in the making?. Fair play to you Mickey, Belfast & Irish Boxing proud to have you in the ranks. Tiocfaidh Ar La.
What a great fight!! To all the clowns crying about the music!?Just mute it you monkeys, simple. Instead they post a comment to complain, what f****** losers!
@mapletonsteve I agree. Just mute it. What a dumb thing to complain about. I think the music makes it better! This fight really WAS like a REAL Rocky vs. Apollo fight!
Great editing man. The video looks and feels amazing. It really captures the intensity of the fight. Just caught the motion picture so i had to see what this guy was all about
It looked like it was straight out of hollywood. You couldnt have scripted this any better. And Who wouldve thought that a non title match would have this much excitment.
Holy s**t. Gatti had no business still being on his feet after that beating Ward gave him - and there was no way a human should be still up after what Gatti threw at Ward. I guess they only stayed on their feet out of stubborn refusal to obey gravity.
I'm going to watch this fight on another youtube clip. The continuous Survivor music just ruins it. Couldn't you have faded it out when the fight started?
Probably the best advert for boxing I've ever seen. It shos the honesty, passion and heart that is, or can be, boxing. Just a shame it's all too rare a sight.
You dont see this type of fighting anymore....Boxing is dead
All u see is hugging nd granny punchin. I mean look at the mayweather nd mosley fight.. ridiculous it really dissapointed me man... R.I.P. Arturo Gatti
This fight displayed a total commitment to excellence i'm soldier stationed in afghanistan and i'm a greco-roman wrestler i love looking at this to fuel my training to become world veterans greco roman champion i love what do i think of the raw power and inner spirit of these 2 warriors and it helps me take the next step and train on days i don't want to push myself when i know there's a point of no return,i get scared,at this point i can't see myself fail i have to finish and as man a soldier
The greatest fight I've ever seen between two true gents of boxing who went on to have a mediocre second fight and an amazing final fight and become the best of friends. RIP Arturo, you were everything the boxing world and the world of sport needs - a respectful fighter with amazing courage, heart and ability!
there is website called rossboxing he has some awesome drills and also strength exercises that increase power without bulk giving you a dangerous edge
my fight is set at a catch weight of 153. thats cool i might have to go check it out. but in the end its up to my trainer what i do. he hasn't steered me wrong so far so i'm gonna stick with what we been doing
I remember the awesomeness of this fight. Then came Castillo/Corrales, and that was one of the greatest as well. But if you compare these 2 fights side to side I'd have to give it to this fight!
