The Micky Ward movie

[The Fightfan]

Who the hell was that black guy that 'had twenty pounds' on him

Looks great though. I'll make my mates watch it when it comes out on DVD and when they ask me who he was, I'll show em the Augustus fight

Then I'll show em the Gatti fight
Then I'll show em the Gatti fight
Then I'll show em the Gatti fight

I was thinking who could have outweighed him by that much as well. In the previews the guy looks like a light heavyweight. I am stumped.

I think I'll be watching the film just to find out!

It has great reviews, I think I may go this Friday with my significant other to view it.

There's probably not enough time in the movie to go through his life story and at the same time display his battles with Gatti while showing it's significance in the boxing world. As boxing fans, we want movies to show certain events but if it doesn't fit in with the storyline, people making a movie won't include it.

For example, when they made "Ali" with Will Smith and didn't include the rest of the trilogy with Frazier or him winning the title for a third time I understood because it was done properly in the movie.

The thing is the Gatti trilogy is probably the most important thing in Micky Wards career! It made him something of a superstar.

I feel the same way. Whereas a fighter like Ali has too many pivotal moments inside the ring and outside of it.

Ward without those 3 great fights with Gatti, wouldn't be that known or at all besides a few hardcore boxing fans. But to the casual boxing fans and hardcore fans he's known for those fights.

Ask yourself this, would Ward be known for anything else if not for the Gatti fights?

His fight with Burton/ Augustus was FOTY, i think.

The movie climaxing with the WBU title fight is fitting. #1 Ward had to scrap hard to achieve that much in boxing #2 Aside from the Gatti fights it was probably the highlight of his career. He's always a fan favorite, but typically fan favorites are flawed.

He was a very average fighter with loads of heart and the smallest little things in his career just competing with guys as skilled as Emanuel Augustus and Zab Judah and Arturo Gatti was a major success
