I was just thinking about this ****...High on Crack Street, its easy to find. I never forget watching this **** like 10 years ago. The guy filming was surprised Good ole **** fought SRL. Crazy doc though, even had Boo Boo the crackhead in Mickys corner. Gotta love Lowell MA. Anyone remember Gang Wars which also came out around the same time??????????

i just remembered this documentary when someone mentioned his brother i saw on it the discovery channel or something about 12 at night. Not even about **** ecklund particularly but about crackheads and he pops up in it, if i remember rightly it films one of mickys fights.
Can't wait for the film just hope its not done glossed over and really hollywood!Comment

Man I wish I could get Discovery, Imiss that **** plus A&E. I can only afford 2-13 which is free so it's pretty cheap. Yeah man they follow these crackheads through Lowell. I think one was named Brenda ...she died like a year after it was filmed I read somewhere I think aids. High on Crack Street was an HBO doc along with Gang Wars which was also crazy.i just remembered this documentary when someone mentioned his brother i saw on it the discovery channel or something about 12 at night. Not even about **** ecklund particularly but about crackheads and he pops up in it, if i remember rightly it films one of mickys fights.

So now Pitt is attached to it? It was Matt Damon..."A look at the early years of boxer "Irish" Micky Ward and his brother who helped train him before going pro in the mid '80s".

When properly matched he was very entertaining to watch. Gatti and Ward were made for each other the 9th round in the first fight was incredible...I rather watch Mickey Ward fight Arturo Gatti any day then watch Money May or Hopkins fight....LeftyIt could be a good movie. Ward may not have been the greatest of fighters, but films can just bend the truth a bit (change the WBU belt to the Ring or WBC belt or something).
I've heard stories about how ****ed up his family was. His parents and his half-brother, so that could make some good drama.Comment
