How can you not appreciate their bouts? They both gave all they had for you summummab!tch "fans". I'll be watching.

They were great fights but I would rather watch the fights again than watch someone talk about them.

[New England]

awesome.


i'd love to see them host the first fight on demand, too. ideally the first and third fights, but really all i need is the first to replay about five times.

They should have done it on a hagler hearns type of fighters

So you want them to re-do a Hagler-Hearns doc that they already made 10 years ago?

[TaurusJ27]

That doc is going to be good.

[LAPete]

Looking forward to this Doc. All 3 fights were pure entertainment and both fighters displayed great heart and unbelievable sportsmanship.

[Thornton Melon]

why does this 2 F level fighters get there own documenatry ? They should have done it on a hagler hearns type of fighters

You mean do some more Legendary Nights on Hagler-Hearns like the ones they already did in 2003?

I gotto say, boxing has some of the ****tiest most ungreatful fans of any sport.. alot of you deserve the floyd-pac ducks and all the other crap that happens in this sport.

I was just thinking this...

You might not be a fan of either guy, and maybe some people do genuinely dislike watching that style of fight (Although, how, I can't exactly say). But to dismiss them as bums because they weren't among the pound-for-pound elite skill wise is moronic.

Fights such as Gatti - Ward will bring in 100x as many fans as technical boxing matches; and at the end of the day, boxing is still a business and casual fans are needed to bring in extra revenue. Does anybody think boxing would survive if we only ever had technical chess match fights like Rigo - Donaire?

I, personally, will be looking forward to this documentary a lot.
