@thewelshviper He eventually did. In fight 2 he does it more so, and then in fight 3 even more then that.
I firmly believe that Gatti was a better boxer then Ward, and would likely win this fight 8/10 times if it happened again. What makes this so good is that both fighters said "screw it" and just planted their feet and hit each other as hard as they could. Pure war, and for lack of a better term heart!
@Craigmw45 Yeah its a great trilogy but i think Gatti could of taken less punishment if he fought with that head movement against the like of Robinson,Ruelas and Rodriquez and i thought Gatti won this fight too.
@MegaSlayerr that wasnt a fuckign insult you stupid little prick it was a funny comment. i like micky ward you fucking prick. Fucking Asshole thinking im one of these youtube bitchs that insult people. im not insulting the guy im a damn fan! I'm just sayin how he's junked up on punchs. Not an insult you prick!
why the hell does it say recorded nov 27 2004 in round 8 and the rest were may of 2002? and akilubaida... mediocre??? are you serious? arturo gatti is one of the greatest boxers to have fought since the sport started, not to mention the most entertaining... go watch soccer or volleyball dickhead
"relentless" ....thats the commentator's word that sums up the effort of both fighters....they NEVER stop giving their all! A classic fight.Absolute warriors,,,
how the fuck can u guys talk about pac or may on this video it features two prime athletes who had 3 epic tremendous fights pac and may cant evan come 2geather to make 1
@xxSanadaxx please the great mayweather never lost and please he does not want to fight a dogeater that takes steroids. is not that hes a pussy is just hes being smart
On June 30, 2010, Arum announced that the management of both sides had agreed to terms, that all points had been settled (including Pacquiao agreeing to submit to both blood and urine testing) and only the signature of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was needed to seal the deal that could have earned both fighters at least $40 million each. Mayweather was then given a two-week deadline for the fight contract to be signed. Arum also announced that Pacquiao accepted (1)
Racist. And it's against Pacquiao's religion to let them take blood just before a fight. People of his religion believe taking blood weakens a person in the heart and soul so he won't do it. Mayweather knows this and he's taking advantage of it by saying he won't fight if Pacquiao doesn't do it.
Mayweather won't step up and fight Pacquiao because he knows Pacquiao can catch him when he tries to run around the ring. Mayweather's never lost because he won't stand and fight.
@xxSanadaxx i dont give a fuck if the gook worships buddah he can still take a blood test the reason he does not do it cuz hes scared of being exposed as a cheater. you are a fucking idiot mayweather wants to fight the gook but he wants a fair fight you think he is going to fight a dude that is on the juice and lose come on nigga get your head off your ass and think
You bring race into it. Mayweather is ducking Pacquiao. Mayweather knows Pacquiao won't do the blood-test and he's using it to his advantage. Even when Pacquaio agreed to it - if you'd read that post I made above you'd see he did - he still didn't sign the contract.
Pacquiao agreed to the testing but Mayweather didn't sign the contract.
Again, just in case you missed it.
Pacquiao agreed to the testing but Mayweather didn't sign the contract.
@xxSanadaxx if that shit was true that pac agreed to take olympic style drug testing that mayweather requested then why last week on espn did teddy atlas said if pac got nothing to hide then take the blood test. come on dude mayweather talks shit but he is smart and he is not a idiot stop making excuses like all the cocksuckers that worship the chink blood test and floyd will fight there im done
Bottom line is, Pacquiao agreed to the testing. Signed his contract. Sent it to Mayweather. He had two weeks to sign it and fax it in, and he didn't do it. And never said why. That's the bottom line, and all there is to it. He had his chance to step up and do work against the one guy everyone knows can beat him besides Chavez Jr, but he didn't do it.
@xxSanadaxx sure buddy come with more fiction facts and keep making me laugh my balls off and please chaves jr a punk that fights safe fights so his daddy wont worry about him that nigga is not hes father theres only one great chaves and he is retired. nigga please
@dion1262 - Sandaxx is actually right, Pacquiao did agree to Mayweather's previous terms and Mayweather still didn't sign. And Chavez Jr. a punk? That's laughable, along w/ Pacquiao he has the closest record to Mayweather's, over 40 fights and still undefeated, and many have been against strong opponents.
@Dempsey2626 -And we have the most idiotic statement of the day. Chavez only fought chumps? Oh, and then telling me to "get the fuck outta here", as if you own the Youtube website, That's the best your insignificant intellect can come up with as a retort? Look dick, I'm not a fan of Chavez Jr., but I do give credit where credit is due, and it's that Chavez Jr. is one of the most devastating body punchers in the game, which Mayweather has struggled against in the past (Castillo).
Because next to Pacman, Chavez Jr. stands the best chance of stopping Mayweather. They're also the best boxers in the lower weight-classes right now, and Mayweather won't step up and throw down the gauntlet against either of them.
the guy was good, but let fame and money get to his head and now look at the result. He is nothing compared to other fighters now, they have somethng he has lost - a set of balls.
dickie eklen ward great words lol bang the shit out of him most respect to the greatest fighters that ever lived rip arturoo remember in the end its all about respect
wow..true fighters right here..neither one willing to give in at all..that's true heart..i think that if you have enough heart and a good enough chin you can almost always, if not always, pull it off..micky proved that here..he was fighting a better fighter at the time..when you actually experince even a little of what these guys are going through, your respect for them grows 10 times as strong..i'm in mma so i know what it's like to take a beating..these two are legends in my book..wow
I'm an mma fighter and an mma fan, but god damn these fights are beautiful. Great wars like these are something everyone can appreciate, they are amazing displays of heart and skill, gotta love fighting R.I.P Gatti
@daleclosson19 Boxing isn't a "Fight" it's a sweet science. No choking, elbowing, kicking etc just two skilled warriors with great respect for one another. It's beautiful to watch. Gatti's footwork and combinations in this round is just unreal..amazing "Boxing"
@Username01793 Why is there always one dick in the comments, seriously man how empty is your life that feel the need to bitch over one word in my comment
Thank you Larry Merchant for doing what you do best; ruining one of the greatest fights in boxing history. Why couldn't of died instead of Gary Coleman.
@b0dmonn your sick in the head you dirty little fag,why would you even bring someones father into it let alone threaten to ass fuck him,you dirty little shit shunter
