What a 5th round! Guts personified. Future fighters (Boxing and MMA) take notes. The money will run out, the pain is temporary, but pride lasts forever.
nothing i can say here that hasn't already been said...but... wow. just wow. i won't claim to have watched the most boxing fights ever, but i cannot imagine there being a better fight...

@miloszewski I'm not sure if it beats this or not, but go to my channel and watch Aaron Pryor vs. Alexis Arguello under my playlists. Arguello was a 3 weight champ, and Aaron Pryor actually had the belt from this weight class in 1980. They fought this way for more than 12 rounds as title fights generally went 15 back then. Give it a look. It was voted fight of the decade for the 80's. It's my favorite next to this one, but it had better overall boxers. Pryor and Arguello are legends.
woooooooow. Im typically a fan of MMA, but its wars like this that make me remember the sweet-science of boxing. Both of these men deserve respect. Fucking amazing boxing skills.
thanks to that new movie these videos will prob be brought down =( classic fight i remember watching this with my dad when i was a sophmore never forgot how amazing it was havent seen it since thanks so much for posting it man, my all time favorite fight
first time watching this fight, and wow. i was thinkin ward looked finished for this round then a five punch combo on the chin and things turn back around, Amazing stuff.
possibly the two bravest fighters to ever lace up gloves in one ring. i've seen thriller in manila, ive seen rumble in the jungle, ive seen corrales vs castillo...but this is on another level. Greatest fight of all time
does Lederman ALWAYS use the same template for when they cut to him???
"ALRIGHT JIM, [#] to [#], [score 1] to [score 2] for [winning boxer]
"JIM, I GOTTA TELL YA, [winning boxer] is not only showing us [obvious reason for being ahead], but he's also [another obvious reason for being ahead and how it's helping him stay in control]. In that last round he [note best part of round for winning boxer] beautifully."
@Jetball74 Thats not a big maybe. The left hook after that unbelievable combination is what had him about to go. Then he got hit with a big right hand. 15 - 20 more seconds in that round, Gatti would have been getting up off the canvas.
THIS!! ...is what boxing needs, two warriors that just wanna fight! Forget the money! forget the ppv revenues!! forget everything just get in there and toe to toe with someone and slug it out!! jose luis castillo vs diego corrales, barrera vs morales, gatti vs ward, boxing just needs one more WAR!! to comeback. good fight!! one of, if not, the best fight of all time!!
8:12 Thats just beautiful stuff.Nuff said........I think ive never seen more perfected left hook to the body,than the one owned by Ward. In addition,i have to say that Gatti could box very nicely...i had him in memory more like a brawler and puncher but here he showed very nice movement and boxing abilites..
