Ward vs Gatti I

May 18th, 2002

Great fight, a lot of action, two really strong entertaining boxers.

Through to round 3 it was 42% for Gatti, and 32% for Ward.

Gatti was born just 2hrs away from from here in Montreal Qc.

Ward, is from New England and his life and career are displayed some in the Hollywood blockbuster movie starring Mark Wahlberg as Mickey, Christian Bale as Dickie Eklund, and an awesome acting performance by Melissa Leo who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role 2011, >>>The Fighter.<<<

In the 4th, Gatti does not quit! He’s winning so far!

It’s a real “slugfest” with both guys knocking each other with power punches, punches in bunches from both, but more so from Arturo.

Ward ends the 5th with massive greatness! Ward 10 to Gatti’s 9 in the 5th.

—-Here the sun rose at 6:44 BRILLIANT!!!! It’s been cloudy for days and days! I want fiery heat!

Rd 9 at 2:33 Ward hits Arturo with a devastating body shot! Gatti is down!

Ward flourishes! BUT, now Gatti is back hitting like a champ! Very impressive he is with the strong swinging hooks!

There’s confusion, some think the fight is over at the end of the 9th, the fans are standing!

Gatti on the rise again in the 10th but “Irish” may have his ticket…

Mickey fights amazingly! Right left, bang bang, then out of nowhere he knocks ya down!!!!! Look out!!!🥊

10 rds and it’s to the cards…

94-94

94-93

95-93

Winner: THE GREAT “IRISH” MICKEY WARD!!!

Fight 2 I’ll watch in a bit after I reevaluate my life. Lol!

Quite a fight!!!!

Cheers and thank you so much for reading!!!!
