Tonight at 8 pm, ESPN Classic will replay one of the most incredible brawls in recent memory � the slug fest between Micky Ward and. Emanuel (Burton) Augustus. Their battle (which took place in 2001 and was televised live on FNF), was named Fight of the Year by Ring Magazine and served to set up (the first) bout between Ward and Arturo Gatti the following year. Ward-Augustus has never been replayed before, so get your VCR�s ready for this one! � Lisa Scott

just an intersting fact or two for you guys from this fight

ward threw 175 punches in the final round

combined they landed over 130 in the round.

ward won the fight despite landing more than 100 less total punches and landing at almost a 20 percent lower percentage than burton

ward scored the only KD of the fight with.... what else... a left hook to the body.

Classic fight replay, GREAT war...Ward vs Burton
