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.
Don't laugh, but Ward beat Shea Neary (brilliant fight) for the WBU Lightwelter title...I remember he was delighted afterwards and very vocal about finally becoming WORLD champion.
