    Comments Thread For: Micky Ward and His Lost Blood Brother

    By Tris Dixon - "What do I think? Tough. That would sum it up pretty much. It was a tough fight." Micky Ward paused to reflect upon a night that is now etched into boxing folklore. It was 18 years ago this week when he and Arturo Gatti emerged from the brutal trenches in the Mohegan Sun Casino. They did so with a mutual respect that, over the course...

      Was it a normal workout or was there murder in the air?

        The Ward vs Gatti fights are as good an advert for boxing as you'll ever see.

        Just watched round 9 again of their first fight on YouTube. Makes the Rocky fights look like a tickling competition.

          Monster fight and round 9 was absolutely brutal. Gatti mini comeback with a few low blows and ward just shrugs it off with his balls of steel.. Compelling viewing and probably my fav round of boxing ever. How they mustered the energy to even walk to the corners after the bell I don't know.
