Actually glad they 'dumbed' it down and didn't get stuck on Gatti trilogy. Like most flicks certainly not going for historical ring accuracy but more so what its lead actor can deliver,drama and sub plots. Gatti was larger then life and in way Ward earned right to be seperated from it in those battles. He essentially had two seperate boxing careers entirely did Ward. From obscure co feature stepping stone journey man on ESPN to break out high calibur preformer. In hindsight he had zero business losing to a Meyers, Martin etc. Gatti fights made him 'known'...but they didnt make him the fighter he was. Ward was one of the better body punchers over the last number of years. The WBU trinket is crap, and frankly he was screwed in fight with Phillips, Leija opted out and limped into Kostya fight too.
