    gatti vs ward was the best fight of (as floyd Sr. would say) not of this time, that time, full time, part time, but of all time.... And round 9 was a work of art that michael angello would have marvelled over...

    Gatti and Ward were two absolute warriors who were willing to die in the ring before thay lost (a rare thing today). and its amazing that the two are the best of friends.

    I can also say that this fight made boxing my favorite fight and micky ward my favorite athlete ever...

        You should get Bob Haloran's book "Irish thunder: the hard times and life of Mickey Ward", than. Im only about 80 pages in so far, but its been excellent up to that point.

              It's very difficult to top that fight..Probably, it will remain as my fave fight ever..Sadly, it was not marketed well so many fans missed that fight..I didnt even know those two guys when I saw them fight..Imagine if this was marketed like the DLH-Mayweather fight,,boxing would stil have been very big..this one fight just converts fans..chills all over my body everytime I see these highlights..round 5 and round 10 of this fight were great as well..

                Ward-Gatti was great. Corrales-Castillo was better.

                    I like gatti-ward 1 better than Corrales-Castillo..but both great fights..the gatti-ward 1 reminds me of the fight of Ali and Wepner..gatti and Wepner dont know how to quit..

                      do you think if any other refs were in there, it woulda been stopped at one point or another.
                      like in round 9 when mickey ward is t'ing gatti up and then pretty much pushes him into the corner.
                      gotta give some props to frank cappuccino
