Re: The Micky Ward movie
Just watched it tonight and it was a good movie.
Mark Wahlberg can't box very well, or throw a good hook to save his life, but he looked ripped and did a pretty good job.
So much for his claims of sparring 70% with the #3 MW in the world to prepare for the role.
Christian Bale stole the show ! His portrayal of Dickie Ecklund was terriffic.
Bale def deserves an Oscar for his performance. The actress who played Ward's wife did excellent as well.
I just wish the movie would have focused on more notable Ward fights, I mean at least the Augustus, Judah, and Phillips fights. Or ONE of them.
