@BraisCelta97 moron you are cat waste in my world. MMA rules son. And besides who cares about these two crack head, uneducated micks? They were never world champs and who gives a hoot about their life. What a waste of film. Braiscelta you homo go get a life.
@MrBigpopsonswoll Micky Ward was a world champion, you are the fucking homosexual here because of watching a sport about two men rolling in the ground go watch your gay porn shit and leave the real men alone.Stop writting stupid comments about something nobody cares. Can I ask again ? Why are you watching this?¡?¡
@BRBgottaskate , hahahahahahahahaha, He Won the Oscar hahahahahahaha fuck you retard!!!! Please everybody reply to this idiot telling him that Bale won the Oscar!!!hahahahaah
People are makin fun of the real Dickie on youtube. My neighbor use to run (i dont mean train) with Dickie back in the day. Hes told me stories from the movie before it came out and some I will never repeat. He talks the same. We go to AA together and play cribbage. We both had our ups and plenty of downs. Its not a easy childhood being porr in New England, I dont care what frigin city it is Lowell to Bangor Hartford to Medford. Show some respect.
@cmfishburn Forreal, im from New Bedford, plenty of guys at their worst down here, still good guys if you get past the drugs, New England is a fucked up place bro, the poor part anyway
After watching the documentary "High on Crack Street", I always wondered what ever happened to Dicky Eklund & Co. Its good to see he's doing better and on the right track.
@blkplaguelmc Really, I hope he's OKay. I didn't see the movie and this will be the first time I didn't see a bale movie due to Financial reasons, hehe!. But Dicky seem so sweet and adorable in the interview clips. hehe! he's like a baby. hehe! and Christian is very fond of him. hehe. NICE!
Just saw the "Fighter" last night, Christian Bale was AMAZING in the role of the sad, pathetic, crack addicted Dickey I see Oscar nomination for Bale he stole the film although Walberg and Adams were also terrific.
@brybry19871987 Christian bale will never get an oscar even though he deserves it because his acting style doesn't have enough "humanity" in it that an actor that's been in big money making pictures needs to get the sap vote. because he's alienated himself from the artsy queers.
@tnus3 He just got a Golden Globe Nomination, and he is getting alot of love from the critics and there pushing for a Golden Globe win and an Oscar Nomination and win! What would you do if Christian Bale got nominated for an Oscar.....or Won it?
@TheWarlord900 I'll be extremely pleased. My comment doesn't really make any sense looking back on it. But the fact that he hasn't even been nominated is so unexplainable that it makes my head throb. I commented in anger.
maybe successful people self destruct because the pressure. The discipline needed shape them is present for so long that when they cut loose for once they do crazy things. Look at mike phelps. In Dicks case he got addicted to something. I don't know anything about him really. I know tons about Ward's career but I'm really interested in seeing this movie because I want to learn about Dick's life.
For the life of me, I can't understand why a guy in Dicky's position would start doing drugs,he had the world by the balls.. I've seen plenty of boxers go down the same road as Dicky.. I think to a large extent boxing is very much a demon driven sport,the things that make I guy want to get punched for a living are the same demons that drive the insanity outside the ring.. I'm glad to see he's doing well now..
@mizzoulibertarian exactly, drug addicts aren't stupid. People decide to use drugs for MANY different reasons. The most common is because, at first, they mak you feel GREAT. As time goes by, they turn on you, but for awhile the euphoria is so great. A person on drugs at first wonders why people WOULDN'T do drugs. Its a mindfuck.
WHAT?? No scenes from the "Gatti" fight?? That's insane, Ward became famous most because of that match ... just that fight would be worth af an entire movie ...
Hey - Dickie is a sweetie when he's not messed up on drugs - As a cousin and someone who was his GED teacher at MCI Sirley - I can only say I hope the movie portrays both sides of him - not just the "messed up" side.
