You have to assume they will. That's arguably the highest point of his career (meaning the trilogy).

agreedddd!

Yeah, this is kinda old news. Brad Pitt will play ****ie Eklund, replacing Matt Damon. No, they wont show the Gatti fights (as of right now, there are no plans for it). The movie is more about ****ie's struggles with drugs and how Mick helped him recover from his addiction, in addition to his own problems in the ring (broken hands). The fight culminates with Micks win in England over Shea Neary to win the WBU title.

Maybe they'll end it with the first Gatti fight, though. I doubt they will show the trilogy to end the movie on a high note. Probably mention it in a monologue at the end of the film. Either way, I cant wait for it. Micky is my all time Fave fighter and with 2 big name actors and top notch director, means the movie will be good!
