    micky ward fans

    hey, off the subject for tonight, but if there are any micky ward fans out there youd do good by going out and buying a book written about him called "irish thunder" written by bob halloran, great book. supposedly there is going to be a movie made about micky and his brother ****ie ecklund sometime this year. it will be called "fighter" its based off this book. anyways, just thought id let yall know in case there are some micky fans out there.

    Not really a fan per se, but he's from my neck of the woods so I always pulled for him. He's a class act too and was part of one of the greatest trilogies in boxing history.

              Jesse James was a brave fighter. Really liked seeing him fight. Started off as an under dog then just started winning and koing fighters. He ko'd Adrian Stone before Mosley did the same in a title fight. I belive before he was murdered, he was to get a title shot vs. Trinidad, man that would have been an exciting fight. R.I.P to Jesse James Hughes.

                  Defently a tragedy what happened to him. He was always fun to watch. Would have been great to see him get his title shot.
