The Micky Ward movie

[THE THIRD MAN]

With all due respect to this project, they do not touch on the Gatti trilogy and without that trilogy i don't see the point of the movie? Ward was no legitimate world title holder and is best known world wide for his classic fights with Gatti, why would you not include one of the greatest fight trilogies of all time in your movie?

I don't think a fictional movie about the Gatti - Ward trilogy would have much mainstream appeal. A hard-luck story about a fighter who overcomes all kind of personal and professional adversity to become a success 'champion' is much more interesting IMO.

Well the only other fight of significance was the Augustus/Burton fight ? That was a helluva fight though.

I agree with you, i just feel that the hard luck story had an incredible ending with Ward's 3 fights with Gatti that has established Ward's name in boxing legend, something he was unable to do as a champion. Surely they could have given the trilogy 10 minutes at the end?
