Teaser for my Mickey Ward interview

[Mr. Ryan]

********: In the ninth round of that fight, which Emmanuel Steward called "The round of the century", you knocked him down and had him finished. Do you think that fight should've been stopped?


Ward: "(Interjecting) I do, I do because Buddy McGirt was on the ring apron and was going to throw the towel in and he walked down. Once you go on the ring apron, you're supposed to stop the fight. But you know something, Arturo Gatti is Arturo Gatti. This guy is like Jason from Halloween. You kill him and he pops back up. That's him, you can't beat him. That's my man, Arturo I love him and he's Jason."

He speaks with a New England accent.

********: In the third fight, it was similar in many ways to the first fight. You had your moments in that fight, you knocked him down again. Your brother **** Eklund said (Impersonating Eklund's voice poorly) "This is the last fight of your career, you gotta fight hard!" Take us through that fight and what you recall about that encounter?

Ward: "What happened in that fight is that I had eye problems. I got hit in the seventh or sixth round and my brain shifted in my skull and hit the back of my head so hard I had to get double-eye surgery after the fight. I couldn't see straight. I seen four Arturo's and they said go for the middle and I didn't know what the middle was (laughs). I'm joking, but he hit me very hard. He won, he beat me fair and square, he's a great fighter and I love the guy. But hey, it happens in life. You go out there and give it your all. I got hit with a good shot and my brain got shifted and I had eye surgery a year after on both my eyes. The main thing is that I'm fine now and everything's healthy."

Let me tell you, I had no preparation for this interview. I got my seats and it just so happened that sitting right next to me was Micky Ward. I figured hey, we had a while before the action got cooking and let me shoot the **** with one of the baddest men to ever fight.

[Mr. Ryan]

OK the article is good to go for tonight. Micky was slightly inebriated when we conducted this fight LOL, so you know it's good stuff. You gotta love Micky.
