Mark Wahlberg did a great job... all the actors and actresses did..Micky Ward is not only a great fighter,but when you hear him talk and smile you can tell he's a very nice person,and i get that from Dicky too...lot's of good energy coming from that guy, both of them...great brothers!
micky ward is one of my favourite fighters ever, he had 13 losses. the guys a legend. like the american ricky hatton, always has time for his fans and just a true down to earth guy
I love movies based on true stories and this was no exception! I thought it was a great movie and Congrats to the Underdog…Mickie Ward! I also hope Dickie Ward is doing well and maintaining his sobriety.
Just watched the film, pretty good one! I usually hate boxing films (as a boxer/fighter myself) I usually hate boxing scenes but they were actually relatively "real". I'm not usually a fan of Christian Bale but he did a great job with this!! Mark Wallberg pretty much just played Mark Wallberg so wasn't too bad. It's a shame that some boxers/athletes go down that path when they're career is done, I personally know people in the same situation and they are now spaced out crack heads roaming around
dickie was a very good boxer. its a great shame the evil poison that is drugs took its grip on a guy who fought a very competitive fight with perhaps the greatest middleweight in history!! also he trained micky ward, his brother who gave us the most exciting trilogy with arturo gatti that i personally have ever seen. not the biggest known fighters of all time but a pair of the most durable boxers in boxing. they had great ability, great respect for eachother and huge guts/heart. r.i.p arturo
All these dumb ass people talking sh*& about Dicky are just retarded.The Guy turned his life around.And probably more in his life than you'll ever do.These guys are Role Models to alot of people.I have always looked up to Dicky and Micky and Im not from Mass.Im from Buffalo NY so its not just Lowell.Its all over the world.So keep talking because thats all you can do.You will never be Half the men these Guys are.RIP Gatti
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 Yeah, you said it. They make fun of him on youtube..if they said it fo his face they'd be drinking soup for the next 6 months. Bunch of pansy's no gut's, no heart, this is what our society has become. Dicky Ecklund was a hell of a boxer and would smack most guys around today. In reality, it probably bothers us more than it does him.

@oitotheworld123 i dont think you appreciate how articulate dicky still is. That man has been fighting since he was a teen and went through an addiction with a substance which destroys the brain. He's not "f'd." Show some respect.
@jaypballer1 I agree with you completely. I've read the ORIGINAL screen play and 2 books on mickey's fights and career and actually life over like, all 40 years. He's AMAZINGLY articulate. And he's also probably a little drunk here. It's like, the only drug he hasn't/refused to stop lol.
He calls himself "Irish" Micky even though he's half Anglo-Saxon.

Micky Ward is a champ helping other Irish boxers learn and come up in the sport. That is the way it should be.
