The Micky Ward movie

[rjj tszyu]

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.

Chances are good the movie is a dramatization of the events in his life that led to him being the fighter that gave us the trilogy with Gatti. It's probably more of a life story than a biographical look at his career.

And my wife is excited to see it - that never happens with a boxing movie.

I'm pretty sure that Mark Wahlberg has something to do with that.

By the end of the film you'll be shouting ''For the love of God, will you please... Please! Put a shirt on!''

No doubt about it - I'll have to bring an extra towel to mop up the drool.

I just read in SI on Mickey commenting on them not having the trilogy with Gatti. "I was a little surprised they weren't. The Gatti fight's took me to another level. Maybe they can be in the sequel." As for the film itself he says it's pretty spot on except for his brother jumping out of windows everytime someone knocked.
