HBO Boxing: Fights of the Decade - Ward vs. Gatti I (HBO)

[sumthang678]

Steel Chin

[Bulwark1911]

WHAT A BODY SHOT !!!

...oh, just a nutshot..nvm.

[felixXxiano]

Easily, my favorite combat sports match ever... ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

[MarcusCicero7]

that was fucking crazy

[whotookmikey]

these are some fucking MEN.

[MrErnestCC]

Am I watching rocky 1? is the ref watching Happy Days?

[MegaSlayerr]

If you hate ufc that much why bring it up or compare everything to it ? boxing and mma are both good sports

[Box24seven]

the only problem of mma is not they have all the tools.. kick, submission, punches, elbows,knees, takedown, but a lot of mma fighters clinched a lot...

[lgisgod]

To all UFC fans you call your sport fighting? This is fighting!!!

[lonewolf1344]

@lgisgod yes, MMA is more of a real "fight" than boxing, boxing is the agreement between two people "okay lets fight each other...but we're only allowed to use our hands, deal?" Boxing is a brilliant sport but don't call it more of a fight than MMA, mmkay

[Ahmet1445]

Fuck MMA!

RIP Arturo!

[Tager253]

I just know they pour out all they're heart onto the ring !

[samuel7697]

This fight wes very personal it wasn't for any world title or something like it!

[wolfgod1011]

What i love about this fight is that the two fighters weren't the most popular or the best technical boxers but the it was the fighters heart that made this one of the best fights ever,

[RichMon1611]

@wolfgod1011 Right. They weren't even the "superstars" of boxing at the time. Just goes to show that it's all about the right match up.

[Nicolandime]

f**ck Rocky and mr T !! this is it!!

[matijaOG]

R1 MAN, BLOCK BITCH, BLOCK

[OfficialMattprc]

Possibly the greatest fight of all time right there.

[Kadava616]

@OfficialMattprc No possibly about it. The greatest fight of all time.

[TZERY21]

1.31 AMAZING COMBO!

[manimgoindowndown]

Gotta give it to Gotti. His perseverance stopped being amicable and turned scary considering the amount of hits he was tanking.

[manimgoindowndown]

Gotta give it to Gotti. I think any other man in this world would have died had he taken as many blows as Gotti did.

[WhatTheShams]

2 true heroes, i've never seen a match like this

[5TRYD4]

Loooool I mean gatti

[5TRYD4]

Heart no defence = ward vs Harris

[carlos0371]

que batalla!

[YodaRocks123]

Holy shit boxing is scary!

[jcstumpy1]

the best fight EVER !!!!!!

[joshe35]

They gotta go down at least in the top 10 all-time. They were great fighters, how many do you see that can go that far with that kinda punishment

[maki580]

gatti is the best here technique is increible

[VBCABC123]

simply the best fight ever!! toe to toe war!

[TrapMansLoad]

look...i honestly don't think this should go down as one of the greatest fights in the history of boxing. These two were good fighters but they weren't the best. The greatest fights for me are between great fighters, but these two are not considered the greatest, in fact they've been loosing alot at that point. You put two equally good or equally bad fighters in the ring together, obviously they're gonna slug it out and your gonna see a good fight, but this fight doesn't deserve its recognition.

[EMZOx1996]

1:15 = bell lol

[themightyJames3]

i think that was the best fight ive seen.

[peterbruh]

real warrior blocks with the face

[FresherThanYourSwag]

both warrior !! never give up !

[XpLiCiTGamingXbox360]

Hey everyone, Im a clan leader and i do boxing,wwe and call of duty and left for dead stuff on xbox 360 can u veiw my videos and hellp me become youtube famous?

[hemswortht]

do these boxers not know how to defend themselves?

[MrMtnpaint]

@hemswortht yes they do

but its call taking hits in the face like a man not no pussy shit like mayweather....

U should learn something from these both warriors. dont be afraid of a punch take it like a man and show how brave u are. thats what I learned

[bjarczyk]

@hemswortht you can only keep your hands up for so long until your arms can't take it. also if you keep getting your arms pounded it's harder to keep them up.

[shmendrik2000]

This is the most epic shit i have ever seen.

Irish dude is the MAN

[dodgerguy1981]

If this fight happened today, the fight would have been stopped in the fourth round. Legendary fight. R.I.P. Gatti.

[dudeda96er]

this was not a fight this was a war!!!!!!

[shmendrik2000]

@dudeda96er Fuck yeah

[Squall1921]

The Fighter!!!

[guitaroso]

From 1:30 - this is like watching a rocky fight....

[MrMtnpaint]

@guitaroso true shit ahahhaha xD

[boxing2289nymx]

LOL LOOK AT THE REF ENJOYIN THE FIGHT BUT SHOWIN NO EMOTION

[MrKon14]

They were really punching the hell out of each other and both not going down unless it was a low blow, both very tough boxers, They were the perfect match.

[11215142615]

Now that's a fucking fight!

[javiAIR14]

A man can only take so much beating

[xXanaXBloodXx]

UFC Got Nothing On This.

[mcutliffe11]

@xXanaXBloodXx if u ever get the opportunity, watch Leonard Garia vs Chan Sung Jung. I love boxing and mma, they are completely different sports but the passion for fighting is the same.

[javiAIR14]

UFC this is real fighting

[orionPURO]

Best ref ever.

[kingjosh345]

that combination at 1:30 was beautiful :D

[bradfordBogert]

Greatest fight of all time?? NO WAY does any ref let them stand there and hit each other like that .

[x69dork69x]

Ward doesn't get tired thumbs up...if agreed!

[joshuapajarillo]

WATCHING THIS MADE MY FOOT AND HANDS SWEAT!!!!!1 REAL MAN!!!!!!!!]

[CoconutHead60]

right in the balls



[Slipknotha]

what the fuck is wrong with the judge!? that was a fucking low one!!!!

[Volvo745T]

Holy crap, what a slugfest. Those guys are not human!

[rickyjames18786]

Wtf refs now a days stop the fight like in 3 seconds of your not hitting back lol

[Divinefapper]

@rickyjames18786 This is true. It's so sad in my opinion. The worst thing that can happen to a fighter is not let them continue if they really have the strenght to go on. Breaks my heart - have had it happen to myself and it wasn't nice. You can't even complain later that you could really go on beucase everyone will trashtalk you down.

[Curacaomadness]

@rickyjames18786 When they asked the ref why didn't he stop the fight he said, cause it's Gatti and I know he would fight back..

[pitbull030489]

@rickyjames18786 shut yo faggot ass up bitch u dont kno zhyt about boxin noway so say nothin ight 

[superkid24]

@rickyjames18786 Ref is old school LOL

[MangoPowuh]

Who needs Counter punchers?

When you can have Brawlers.

These guys are the true definition of Boxing.

[98eltigrillo]

@MangoPowuh but theyre many great counter punches like barrera and morales 

[massmokey]

what ufc wishes they can be

[189bigred]

@massmokey two different sports buddy know that

[yoshibeast12]

Now this is what I call a sport.

[GridIronGod17]

what ever happened to THIS type of boxing??

[nikosvault]

@GridIronGod17 Still Happen Now and Then. Look up Humberto Soto vs Urbano Antillon.

[GridIronGod17]

@nikosvault wow i did not know of this fight... its awsome thanks

[punktheman]

lol, worst ref ever

[hartistry1957]

Awesome duo!

[TheTwilightalehouse]

Ward did the job face it

[TheTwilightalehouse]

Who ever booed Fuck you you arsehole

[iwannacommentfool]

jokers take so many hits for FUCK?



[Pilipacman]

These are true warriors

[VanLars]

That referee should retire! damn it!

[HowPatheticAreYou]

@VanLars are you crazy? that referee is one of the best referee out there and he made this fight a brutal and exciting boxing. if it was a different referee, this would be like an amateur match.

[Easyandy100]

@HowPatheticAreYou Gatti should have been stopped by the ref. He was taking massive shots with his hands down.

[VanLars]

@HowPatheticAreYou You are pathetic alright..There is a thin line between bravery and stupidity boxing is a sport and you want it to be brutal? Nah...you know nothing about boxing. How many boxers have died in the ring because of referee's poor decision making? Life is at stake in every fight watch the video again and you might learn something from it.

[HowPatheticAreYou]

@VanLars so you like a fight between klitschko and haye for example? jab and straight? there is always a risk to die by one punch. this match is epic thaks of referee.

[AlexiusMoore]

@VanLars Lol boxings not about being brutal?... sorry but it is. its the way the sport is. This referee did a great job. cos Gatti was never out on his feet, he was just extremely hurt from the body shot and tired.....

When u get hit while ur out on ur feet the punches do 100 times more damage to the brain.. but this wasnt the case and the ref recognised that

[ChadwickRyan]

I remember watching this fight live... two great warriors

[iamleyend2]

that they finally got their wishes came true? I hope not.

[metsin2010]

two fucking men right there

[zambam3]

WOW!!!

[bobbytf18]

freaking terrific fight, but only was able to have the legendary round 9 because the ref was terrible, the fight shouldve been stopped the second gatti stood up after the knock down and a few parts after that

[Metatarsal]

@bobbytf18 not at all Frank C is a top ref & a man ref he let them both go to war.

[bobbytf18]

@Metatarsal idk man maybe to you he was terrific here, but if this was in another fight with someone without the heart of gatti the fight would have been stopped multiple times. In a way I guess the ref was good here because he recognized this about gatti, but at the same time its his job to protect the fighters and gatti was out on his feet for a good while,

[universe112]

1:14 are you watching Zab Judah? THAT'S a low blow.

[liljoker123456]

@universe112 yeah it was but ward aint one for bitching about it

[zmalik10]

@universe112 And that's how a man takes a low blow too. None of that 'WAHH HE BROKE MY DICK!!'

[acajun25]

The absolute #1 fight of the CENTURY ! ! ! !

[vardalos1980]

bullshit, boxers had no chin....

[Crossover3king]

@vardalos1980 fck go play tennis

[vardalos1980]

@Crossover3king little trol you are not very clever huh? have ever heard what irony is?

[Crossover3king]

@vardalos1980 oh my god u gay 2 fcking hell

[nintendo007]

1:32 Wombo Combo

[playstation3gam3r]

mickey wahd

[ImakeMoney809]

great chin

[babui123qwe]

hell yeah!!! this is a true warriors fight.. no cheating fighting fairly.. .

[kelvin0gs08]

if that fight happened these days it would have been ruled as TKO

[finchy561]

thumbs up if u have seen "the fighter" and where thinking "head body head body"

[numberoneDOUCHEBAG]

this was gatti in his prime if floyd fought him during this time then it woulda been a better fight but he got his ass whooped

[h1tmandude]

Caveman wouldn't have been able to fight like this = TRUE WARRIORS

[georgebennetttheblue]

stupid ppl calling mayweather gayweather. if u knew anything about boxing u would appreciate how good he is. i dont get everybodys problem with him. its just like ALI all over again. it wont be till the mans old and grey then all u ignorant fools who have probably never stepped in a boxing gym let alone the ring, will have your tongue up his arse saying what a legend he is. i love to see a war like that but mayweather would have slipped everyone one of wards wild shots and dropped him.

[crazedmartinez]

@georgebennetttheblue i hate the fact if you dont like floyd your a "casual" fan that knows nothing about boxing. fuck you buddy. who are u too judge. we dont like floyds boring style so we dont know anything about boxing? ive been watching boxing since i was five. and floyd is nothing special. no more then sweet pea or aron pryor.. maybe we dont guys that run and dodge fighters? maybe you are biased because uu love floyd so much u dont see his flaws. we know boxing and floyd is nothing special.

[georgebennetttheblue]

@crazedmartinez listen mate that wasnt directed just at u so dnt start getting abusive when ur on the other side of a computer screen. im not guna have a cus match online like a little faggot. just because you watched boxing along time doesnt necasarily ( i cant spell by the way) make you know the game. you can watch it a lifetime over but untill you've been in there u cant really appreciate his talent. dont get me wrong iv been watching all the ward gatti clips on here in amazment

[georgebennetttheblue]

@crazedmartinez and u say who am i to judge. when did i say i love mayweather on my comment???? i would love to see pacman smash him. im turning pro soon and to be honest im more of a brawler than a clever, technique based fighter but you gota be stupid if u can move like mayweather but your guna let yourself get hit against the hardest ppl on the planet. fair play to ward. i take my hat off to him and gatti but my point is mayweathers the unbeaten world champ and isnt a pussy.

[jimmah1967]

@crazedmartinez-how can u say Floyd is nothing special?he's 42-0,world titles in 5[?] differnt weight divisions...u assure us u 'know boxing' but yr comments say otherwise..and sweet pea and pryor weren't special fighters either.Your apparant dislike of Floyd is clouding yr better judgement ..u obviously can't appreciate Floyds defensive wizardry bc u have never been in a ring and fought yrself..Your disrespect is also indicative of someone who's never laced up a glove...buddy.

[crazedmartinez]

@jimmah1967 how do you know ive never faught before? he got given gifts..he lost to castillo and duct great fighters like morales. cotto margarito ..and the list goes on and on... defence wizardy? you mean grab to a guys arm? hit him with his shoulder? your biased towards floyd dont put that shit on me buddy. i know boxing. and i cant wait for manny to fuck up that fool.

[RootsRadic23]

superbly entertaining fight. but you fools dissin Mayweather need to stop. you may not understand his technique..but regardless of your ignorance, his defense and counterpunching are unrivaled. quit hating and chop game.

[thebudkellyfiles]

This was a fight. Ward may have won it, but either of these two incredible warriors had more toughness, class, and heart in their little fingers than Gayweather has in his whole body. If this fight didn't get your blood goin' then you need to call the coroner on yourself! Great great fight!!!

[CP2VIPERS]

Best fight or one of the best fights in boxing history ward was such a great fighter u should all see the movie The Fighter with Mark Whalberg its a good movie about mickey ward

[frazleburger]

how cud 'the fighter' not even mention these fights?

[imac846]

@frazleburger the fighter 2 in production is gonna focus on this epic trilogy

[Maliw]

go to the body =))))

[ar83es]

You don´t see this in MMA. Well i guess you don´t see it in boxing either any more. The two last of a dying breed. Real fighters

[jorgeracingclub2009]

gatti was madeo of iron

[bicnarok]

frigign hell

[BNPBritaiNeedsP4K1S]

frank cappucino best ref ever

[labrostrainer]

better than rocky!

[JacksonMichaelBAD]

aweSOME FIGHT!!! I SEEN THE MOSLEY VS HOYA ONE

ANYONE RECOMMEND ME A GOOD FIGHT? OTHER THAN THESE TWO?

[Zakariia]

@JacksonMichaelBAD Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo - that's a fucking fight

[ViolenceNegotiated]

@JacksonMichaelBAD barrera vs morales morales vs paquiao holyfeild vs bowe salvador sanchez vs wilfredo gomez

[MrCangri31]

@JacksonMichaelBAD gomez vs pintor

[saboxer09]

fight, fight!, fight!!

[123UncleRuckus]

Gatti's got one hell of a chin, he's taking direct shots while Ward still covers up a little.

[Drexl25]

ring the bell

[eleazardiangelo]

from minute 3:30, ward made poo in his pants!

[Hatemeurdead]

title is wrong. it's suppose to be "Fight of the Century"

[RobotechMacrossGame]

two crappy sluggers, no boxing.

[Cruisey1234]

The was one hell of a fight, I so wish I could have been there. Those two guys are true warriors.

[puromexicano1017]

@Cruisey1234 yeah this is one of my favorite fight a long with the mexican warriors Marco antonio barrera vs erik morales 1

[eggaroso]

rip gotti

[mouloudo]

the commentators are obviously running for the american, they wish gatti was stopped so bad

[menzelcassini]

@mouloudo They're both Americans

[mouloudo]

@menzelcassini no Gatti is not nice try

[menzelcassini]

@mouloudo He was a resident of New Jersey most of his professional career. If he wasn't a naturalized citizen he was virtually one. The suggestion that the HBO crew had it in for him because he was born/raised in Canada is absurd. They adored Gatti for years. He was much more a staple of HBO boxing than Mickey Ward ever was.

[ar83es]

I f****ing love jim lampley!!! "Can you believe there´s still a minute and a half to go in the round"

[Alexxitt]

"Now both of you touch gloves, I leave it with you" idk why but to me this referree knew what was about to come, as if he could see the future! thumbs up

[ilverbodelmetallo]

@2:27 Head Body!

[ForzaAquila]

gatti should have won. seriously this win was like the republican party rewinning the elections. they always do a good last round and the last impression is always the lasting impression. pathetic.

[get1carter]

Gattis gonna survive the round lol

[Leyenda1]

One word: WARRIOR. Pussy Pacquaio and Mundane Mayweather could never endure this type of fight.

[CZZZZZm]

A single of these rounds is better than the entire Pac-Mosley or Pac-Margarito fights...

[bobshenix]

they should make a movie about arturo gatti too

[crack4rill]

WOW what a fight :)

[ObiTeninch]

Ward v Gatti...  Epic.

[FabioKubrick]

Isso que é luta,dois grandes guerreiros com certeza!!!

[garciacarl13]

I Love that referee!

[boxersaulo]

@ajwills27 I know it was a popular fight . there alot of good fights. to me tho I like skill boxer . and a defensive boxer are good too it depins how you look at it .

[Ahmet1445]

This fight had to be stopped right at 4:50

[xVxfofoxVx]

@Ahmet1445 this was real boxing unlike this gayweather shit

[chillman51]

@xVxfofoxVx Mayweather is a great fighter and if your calling Mayweather gay then what the fuck are you low life peice of shit Mexican, Niggaz will always win in athletics and anyone who thinks diffrent is lieing to them self. whos the best UFC fighter? whos the best Basketball player? whos the fastest man? AND FOR BOXING DON'T EVEN FUCKING GET ME STARTED!

[koreanstylebboynold7]

R.I.P AMAZING GATTI.

[Jose21443]

Hahaha emanuel stuart gettin all exited hit em in the body" Get em back " Lol

[simozonelayer]

the whole fight is a highlight.

[C07848480]

two warriors. Hell of a fight.

[rocco1471]

FANTASTIC!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MortalSyntax]

How the fuck can the recreate this in a movie ? Oscars for greatest acting ever seen ?

[GQ023]

R.I.P gatti

[boxersaulo]

both guys have no defence. there just throwin sloppy punches at end . both are taken hard head shots for no reason.. should of did a favor and throw the towl for both guys.. thats why both guys dident make it far in boxing.

[ajwills27]

@boxersaulo but they made one of the best fights ever because of that approach. How many people want to watch a defensive boxer?

[alejandroweil13]

In the fifth round the announcer came 3 times...

[Jamalisjamal]

Damn Gatti was one tough motherf*****

[birch8484]

R.I.P gatti .

[yebaby283]

are they really a human?? wtf?

[klapkeutel]

@yebaby283 just wanted to say the same..
