NEW YORK — Another look at that infamous photo of Arturo Gatti’s lifeless, bloody body on the floor of a Brazilian villa made Micky Ward’s heart hurt.
Four years later, Ward still can’t make any sense of what happened that tragic night in July 2009. Ward reiterated Wednesday night after a screening of “The Tale of Gatti-Ward” at HBO’s headquarters in Manhattan that he’ll never believe Gatti committed suicide.
Ward, who grew close to Gatti after their thrilling trilogy in 2002 and 2003, also acknowledged that revisiting Gatti’s demise made parts of the latest installment in HBO’s “Legendary Nights” series “tough to watch.” The Lowell, Mass., native is hopeful, however, that Brazilian authorities will re-open the investigation into what happened the night Gatti died in Porto de Galihnas, Brazil.
