Richard"Dicky" Eklund (born January 1, 1958) is a former welterweight boxer from the mill city of Lowell, Massachusetts. He is known as "The Pride of Lowell". His most notable fight was on July 18, 1978 against Sugar Ray Leonard at the Hynes Memorial Auditorium in Boston, Massachusetts. He went the distance against Leonard, but lost the fight by unanimous decision. Eklund's fighting career spanned 10 years from 1975--1985, during which he compiled a professional career record of 19 wins, including 4 by knockout, and 10 losses.[1]
Eklund became addicted to crack cocaine and his fighting career ended in 1985. HBO's film America Undercover documented his life for a period of 18 months. The documentary, named High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell, followed Eklund and two other crack addicts in Lowell as their lives spiraled out of control. It ended with Eklund receiving a 10-15 year sentence for breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, kidnapping, masked armed robbery, and several other crimes.
Eklund's troubles with violence and drugs continued. He was arrested for crack possession in 2006 and again in 2009 for domestic assault and attempted murder.[2] Although Eklund's girlfriend, the victim of the 2009 offense, recanted her story, the case will still be prosecuted.[3]
Eklund is the half-brother of the noted fighter Micky Ward. After Eklund's fighting career ended, he became Ward's full-time trainer for 26 fights from Ward's professional debut in 1985 until his first retirement in 1991. Three of Ward's post-retirement fights were voted fight of the year by Ring Magazine. Eklund served as Ward's trainer until his retirement after his third fight with Arturo Gatti on June 7, 2003. Ward's biography, written by Bob Halloran and entitled Irish Thunder: The Hard Life and Times of Micky Ward, discusses much of Eklund's life and career.
The Fighter, a film starring Christian Bale as Eklund and Mark Wahlberg as younger brother Micky Ward, was released on December 10, 2010.[4] The film chronicles the brothers growing up in Lowell, and how Eklund pushed Ward back into the ring after his early retirement leading to the three bouts with Gatti.

'Stupid white hope mess', 'boiled garbage'!

Yet the great Sugar Ray Leonard himself said "Dickie Eklund was one of the most difficult opponents I've ever faced!" Proving once again that some people who post on here don't know what they are talking about!

Let's face it, there were not many people good enough to get into a ring with Sugar Ray, Dickie Eklund was! WERE YOU!

In fact, I bet you were never good enough to step into a ring with anyone!

for somebody who tripped, Sugar ray sure did stay down a long time.

[YouKnowThatYouDont]

push and a trip

[joseymaru]

He threw a right and Leonard trying to avoid the left lost his balance, still by rule it should be a knockdown..Its like saying that a bodypunch didn't cause a KD, and that it was the pain..

[powersliding]

he pushed sugar ray, priod

[Northern00000Ireland]

Anyone who say's that is a knockdown is deluded.

@DonasKingas man i hate those fuckin losers too like get a life, thumbs me up if you agree

[rcknrllcwby]

You can clearly see Ray's left leg getting caught behind Dickies left leg as Ecklund shoves him to the ground. If you can't see the truth then you should probably get your eyes checked. I'm sure it was accidental but that's what happened.
