    when does this movie come out, and what's it called (if they have decided on a name yet or is it Irish thunder as well)?

    Must keep an eye out for it.

    Also, who's playing Gatti (I'm assuming Gatti will be in it)?

                  McGuigan beat Eusebio Pedroza, a far greater win than any victory Valero had. He also had wins over Juan LaPorte and Bernard Taylor. That's better than Valero's achievements.
