a drama about the Massachusetts-born boxer's unlikely road to the world lightweight title.

Wow, they're not kidding when they say unlikely. Mickey Ward never fought for the Lightweight title.
Sounds like pure fiction to me!

Nah, that's cool though. Never thought I'd see a Mickey Ward movie.

Oh, and Mark Wahlberg? Insert low blow joke

I think Wahlberg will do a good job portraing Ward he is a good actor that is under appreciated

Only time he fought for the title he was stopped on cuts by Vince Phillis. I wonder who'll play Phillips? Todd Bridges.

Agreed...though I think he is to big for this role more something like a supermiddleweight...

I thought so too but???...To be honest I am not exactly sure how big Mark is??...I know that he is stockier than Ward...But not sure how tall he is?...Hollywood films are funny like that unless you meet or see the person you really can not tell

Nah! man!
I love me some Gatti, I'm one of THE few who thinks Gatti is HofFame.... 8)

I'm glad CMM. Honestly...Gatti is first ballot and Ward doesn't follow to far after. Really shows how unappreciative boxing fans can be when they don't want him in the HoF. I'm actually ready for another Gatti HoF thread right about now 8)
