It's great to see that even after all the war he have been through, Ward is apparently very healthy, smiling and living a good live, only wish the best for this legend.
RIP Arturo.
He does have CTE, but he says he gets checked regularly and keeps an close eye on it.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He definitely got brain damaged. He took a lot of shots to the head. He's suprisingly well spoken for his age. A lot of fighter mumbles and cant talk properly when they have the sickness
@@dantelane2020 He has CTE
Round 9 was absolute insanity. Mind blowing. My father an I were screaming, OOOHHH!!! OOOHHHH!!! Non stop. Who wasn't?
Frank Cappuccino deserves a lot of credit for his refereeing. Amazing trilogy. Legends
Well said most people don't recognise the ref but they can make or break a fight
No bullshit your right on the money
real excellent point Douglas ...the ref made the fight flow....he was the fight
Trilogy of a lifetime
Yeah they thought the fite was over and Lampley was calling for the ref to stop it .But he didnt .
Rip Arturo "thunder"Gatti
rip gatti respect to ward two of boxing greats
@MrBrucelee117 get a life

All three of those fights!! The limits of the human body and spirit on full display
Best brief description Ive ever heard for these fights.Spirit overcomes body and body overcomes spirit.We seen both happen here.
I love Mickey Ward. He was the first one to jump out and say hey I’m not a hall of famer. Such a humble and good guy.
The fight starts at 52 seconds left in the third round after Micky lands his 3rd liver shot, you can tell it hurts Gatti and he doesn't like it one bit. At which point he stops boxing and starts making history with Ward.
@Grant lol that would be a great fighting nickname "The liver lover"
@Grant I made a tribute video to Rd9 ua-cam.com/video/Whck9SaAl2M/v-deo.html
Exactly, it changed after that.
I watched this fight at home and alone in pure awe n amazement. I’ll never forget even catching myself sitting on the edge of my couch with my jaw dropped wide open n thinking I’m witnessing true history in the making. RIP Gatti ,nothing but love n respect to Mickey Ward
Im from Lowell,Ma where Mick is from..This Man is the PRIDE OF LOWELL SALUTE THE LEGEND MICKEY WARD..REST IN POWER ATURRO 'THUNDER' GATTI
For a man who’s been through wars, Ward looks and sounds great.
He does look great, but sadly he suffers from the lasting effects of these fights
That 9th round brings me to tears everytime
I get goosebumps that was the fight/round that I fell in love with boxing to
Same
Seriously! I've probably watched the fight 2 dozen times, and I'm usually a blubbering mess by the bell! Every time!!!
Same
Same bro
“nah, no, no, no fights not over” ref just witnessed a once in a lifetime war and beating in the ring but still knew it wasnt over. Frank cappuccino was a bad dude lol they dont make em like those old school refs no more.
Like Frank said "they would killed me if I stoped the fight". He knew what he was witnessing that night.
Micky's liver punch to Gatti would have buried most fighters even higher in that weight division. And Gatti got up. What is sad about this fight is that I will never have the balls of Micky Ward and Arturo Gatti. But they will always be an inspiration. God bless Mickey and Arturo.
Gotti getting up from that liver shot was amazing!
My God... As a former Golden Gloves boxer - I'd lots rather take head shots than body shots. Damn. They're absolute killers. I don't know how Gatti got up from that shot.
People can argue but personally this is the best fight I ever saw live... two men with no appreciation of their personal life bang it out till the end... absolutely shocking display of true grit, determination an fortitude... EPIC.
Agree ....I think it is one of the best fight ever
Not much arguing about it
I read about this fight in Boxing News in the UK about 2 weeks before I saw it. We had delayed coverage on a lot of big fights. I had two months of the build up excited for this fight right off. I loved Micky Ward from when he fought Neary in London and everybody knew about Gatti. I rode the crest of this wave for about three months - build up, reading about and waiting to see it, seeing it and then rembering how great it was. I don't remember seeing two men so well matched in this way. Brilliant. As soon I could get on dvd I did. You can watch these guys again and again and you'll never get bored. Warriors.
Everyone seems to forget the second fight, but I strongly believe that it's JUST as noteworthy and amazing as the third. Ward was fighting with a broken inner ear. He literally had to fight himself just to stay erect, much less fight back. The fact that he remained competitive in that battle speaks volumes about these two legends.
I'm second generation Irish ,living in Manchester UK...let me tell you, I've lived...that ninth round gets me every time....it's one of the realist/true things I've had the pleasure to witness in my life....2 gladiators....life and death....brothers in arms
Watching round nine brings people to tears, because they have an instinct inside of them, in all or most of us, that when we witness true courage in the face of adversity, true bravery, a rarely seen thing, we become that fighter, we feel the courage deep in our hearts, we will them both to win, because we realise neither deserve to lose, and we just wish we could have the courage that these guys had to spare. This is why we love boxing. This IS boxing. Boxing is life. Every human emotion we have comes into boxing. 💥🥊
Well said Sir.
Gatti v Ward 1, 2 and 3 are the best boxing matches ever period.
That fight is in my top 3 favorites, and that round is my definite favorite. If Micky Ward is not a Hall of Famer, that fight is.
Mine 2 , Emanuel Stewart was calling that fight and in the 9th round when it should have been over that salty old trainer was yelling "and back comes Gotti" like a teenage girl at a Beetles concert in the '60s. RIP Aturo.
@@machetedonttweet1343 Absolutely. I remember seeing the fight and getting caught up in it. Every replay is awesome to watch and listen to.
What do you mean if micky ward not a hall of famer
The first Gatti/Ward bout is one of those fight I can watch again and again, it just never gets old. Sucks that we lost Gatti, (to say nothing of how we lost him!) would’ve loved to hear the both of them reminiscing about their trilogy.
Back then the night of the fight Tszyu I believe was fighting I was watching my neices and nephews and forgot to set the VCR to record this while i was out. I called my neighbor who I barely knew I just moved in I asked him insisted he break into my apartment and record this fight....... My God he was so hyped when I came home the following day and said man I dont know what you had me watch but we loved it
I got the tape tuned in and my God this fight was every bit of what makes Boxing great we just dont see them like this anymore.
They were both superhuman , the energy and amount of punches and stamina was ridiculous .
why do people never mention wards superman combo at the end of the 5th rnd?
That was a rowdy combo
Best combo of the fight.
Underrated comment -- and combo
Thanks Teddy. Saw this fight on tv when it happened but thanks to UA-cam I’ve just rewatched the full fight. Absolutely awesome. RIP to Arturo and massive respect to Micky. Great channel. A million thanks from the UK.
that 9th round was the best round in the history of boxing. war. absolute war. it was like a real life rocky/apollo creed round. i loved arturo thunder gatti and irish micky ward. two warriors. i remember walking into the casino in reno, nv and seeing the fight on live at the sports bar. i stopped and started watching and knew i was witnessing something special. the entire casino was going nuts. will forever remember that fight, that round.
Every time I watch the fight i get very emotional. Just such an amazing thing.
RIP Gatti
I remember when the first fight was announced, neither guys where champions or near the top but all of a sudden the attention and anticipation for that fight overshadowed everything else in the sport because you just knew it would be great, neither guy would run and both had a slugger mentality that was downright primal. Man what an exciting time!
I had just turned 15, and my Dad just got HBO so we watched that fight together at his apartment. He hates violence and boxing and even he was yelling, "OHHHH!” with me. I'll never forget that.
I watched rerun of the whole fight. It is like watching two fire tornados banging into each other! Terrific match up and was great to watch. :)
I love how humble Mickey ward is bro he’s a champ and a gentleman. Maybe the greatest trilogy of fights all time. Rivals Ali v Frazier for sure. Those two had tremendous respect for each other.
Hands down, three of the best fights in the history of boxing...Period
Best fight I've ever seen I watch it all the time and never get tired of it
By far one of the best fights ever !!! Big respect ✊🏽
I watch it with my boys on Thanksgiving each year!
The heart ❤ of micky omfg. To watch the sheer willl of both these gladiators is a privilege. If you ever feel defeated in life just listen to mick talk. "I'm gonna catch em, I'm gonna get him" YOU ARE NEVER OUT OF THE FIGHT! "Mike Murphy"
The fight just amazes.That's what it does.It will make future generations gasp and watch in awe.It will forever be known as one of the greatest fights there ever was.
I literally just went and watched that fight again after watching the first couple of minutes of this video now im back to watch the rest.
I absolutely loved that fight it was arturo gatti that got me interested in boxing when I was a young boy and that fight is in my top 5 of all time
The ending of the video was my favorite part. It’s amazing how he says he would tease Gatti calling him Jason because he can never die. And goes on to joke about his voice haha. These guys had some wars and for some time they were able to enjoy each other’s company as friends. The beauty of boxing. RIP Arturo Gatti, to never dying🙏🏼
Definitely the best fight I've seen in my lifetime.
Now get a hold of Marvin Hagler & do an interview with him please.
Hagler herns my favourite fight
Uh, his legal name is "Marvelous Marvin Hagler".
Get it right, bub.
Hagler doesn't do interviews very often, would love to see him on though.
@@dmj1419 start looking for him in Italy.
@@skunk12 RIP Hagler
This is great insight from an og of the fight game. You guys are getting better and better with this content.... deserve more subs
I’m 56yrs old and have seen a lot of fights and Ward -Gatti 1 was top 3 I ever saw .
When the commentator screams at the ref "Frank you can step in any time you want" and the ref just stand literally 6 inches away while Gatti takes a pounding but refuses to stop the fight..... brilliant
Micky Ward is a warrior some really great fights we were always ready to sit down and watch Mickey go to war as a family we loved to watch him.
Two fighters that loved each other after it all as much as anybody can love
This guy is a class act, a true champ. I remember watching his fight with Shay though. My gramps loved it.
I still watch round nine once or twice a month.
Gatti vs Ward trilogy cannot be topped these 2 warriors put on the most beautiful trilogy I've ever seen
I was at this fight as a 10 year old boy thanks to the Pazmanian devil. I wasn't just a regular 10 year old. I LOVED boxing and understood it more than your average 10 yr olds growing up in the world of boxing. I'll never forget it.
You're a HOF'er in my book, Mick! 🍀🌩 RIP Gatti...
His school is like an hour away from me..Would like to meet him someday
Don’t wait go. I have had a few opportunities like that in my life when I was younger and now those guys are dead. I had 3 authors I wanted to meet desperately, 2 I actually could have, but I waited and put it off and now I can not.
I was at a mma fight in wilmington and I saw him standing near the ring . It seemed like non of the kids there knew who is was. Left the crew i was with went over shook his hand. True gentleman . Hero of mine
What, I respect more then anything was the fact that both Micky and Arturo fought to put food on the table and NEVER did it for the lavish lifestyle other fighters do it for. Pushing the human body to the limit
You guys are awesome thank you for sharing this thank you Irish Micky Ward watching you fight Arturo Gatti some of the most exciting boxing of my childhood and three of the most exciting fights to watch thank you and God bless
Thank god I got to watch these 3 fights absolutely hands down the sickest
Man gatti has a little son ,imagine that kid growing up and being a champ ,what a story
Would be legendary
Who da Fook how so ?
I hope the kids are smarter than that very few boxes and count to 25 after a long hard career
Who da Fook oh my godd,man i didnt even bother to search how he died ,i thought he died from boxing damage ,damm her killing him is even sadder ,what a whore indeed man
gussstavo go fuck yourself
I watched the fight on the UK's Channel 4 boxing within a week of it happening live. I didn't know back then who either fighter was. I was in total shock after the fight, didn't think a battle like that could happen in real life. I remember trying to tell the story (pre UA-cam) to uninterested, non boxing van Brits for years. But know days I can show them, that 9th round.. wow
Round 9 was the greatest round in Boxing History
Beaver Falls Boxer 724 Beaver Falls Boxer 724 Agreed .. 724 in the building here as well
Beaver Falls Boxer 724 Beaver Falls Boxer 724 some good fighters in that area of pennsylvania, i was raised in the allentown boxing environment AKA the guys who always whupped phillys ass but got robbed all the time at the golden gloves.
@@Omar-if1cu THANK YOU brother they did the same to us, it infuriated me growing up. They didnt wanna give anyone from other parts of PA a break EVER. Constantly robbing us in favor of the Philly dudes
Omar 123 yea we had Scotty McCracken, Paul Spadafora, and now Kiante Irving. Kelly Pavlik (Youngstown) not too far away ethier. Of course our greatest pride from western PA will always be Billy Conn and Harry Greb
Beaver Falls Boxer 724 Beaver Falls Boxer 724 we aint have any legends in allentown (just 10 minutes away we had larry holmes though) but we had all the guys throughout the years that were feared and avoided by the philly guys in the amatuer circles since the 90s till now some old some new... guys like: Jorge Delgado, Arturo Trujillo, Saul Trujillo, Tyrone Arzeno(beat shakur stevenson), miguel diaz, Joseph Adorno(big prospect now), Martino Jules, sterling gethers. Maybe some of you guys heard at least of some of them, i sparred all of them except saul and trained and learned with all of them.
The best fight i saw .a great memorie with great friends Thanx Micky thanx Arturo RIP
I watched the first fight with my dad when I was a kid ... will always remember the moment ... amazing fight!!
That fight had everything going for it to make it what it was. Ward and Gatti entering into an old fashioned slugfest where neither one was gonna quit. Frank Cappuccino being an awesome ref, not stopping it, and mostly staying out of it, and the those announcers going wild. I'll never forget that one announcer, I think it was in the 9th round, going "You dream of fights like this but rarely do they live up to it. Stop it Frank! You can stop it anytime! Frank Cappuccino is gonna let them go!" And then Emanuel Steward, "And here comes Gatti back!" What a great fight.
Til this day, I don't know how they survived. Incredible fighters.
These fights were straight out of a Stallone flick! Truly EPIC FIGHTS! THEY WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY!!! TRUE GLADIATORS!!!
Man has 2 of the best fights ever period in my opinion. Everyone forgets when he fought “the drunken master”
Well done.. Best interview I seen yet.. can see the respect from all there 👏
Their rivalry was the best in the history of the sport, all three fights are in the top 20 of all time IMO. As a fan it is hard to see what happened to them both, Gatti RIP and Ward with CTE symptoms...its the one thing fans do not understand that their glory comes at an extremely high cost, very few of them later in age dont have major issues physically and mentally and all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart for the greatness in all of them I was able to observe in my life.
Just thinkin about the round and fights wow still get chills
One of the best boxing fights of all time. So much heart.
Love ya Micky! You and Gatti are true warriors! The greatest fights. Much respect from me.
Gatti/Ward Round 9
Castillo/Corrales Round 10
Hagler/Hearns Round 1
The three greatest rounds in boxing history, in my opinion.
Thank you for this interview
All 3 of those fights are absolutely classics
One of the best fights I ve ever seen absolute war they just wouldn't give up and what a chin on Ward.
Ward is such a warrior and one hell of a nice guy. His autograph is my prized possession. Definitely one of the great fights and definitely rd 9 is the greatest round in boxing. " Just imagine if you bought a ticket " 2 class acts Ward and Gatti
They were both great....but I liked the way Arturo Gatti fought.....You can never really know when you've hurt him..... At some point he was looking so weak but he was still punching....RIP CHAMP
Don't know how I didn't see this one. Love this podcast
As fantastic as Ward-Gatti 1 was if you haven't seen Micky Ward vs. Emmanuel Augustus do yourself a favor, because in my opinion that fight was even better! Pretty much all action from the opening bell to the final seconds of the fight. Just incredible!
being very familiar w/ both fighters, being from NE, and knowing that Mickey Ward is never out of a fight, I heard the pre- fight hype where Gatti (who should've known better w/ all his wars )seriously underestimated MW. saying "I'm not worried at all about the Ward fight", and looking past him. I remember thinking "you learn hard, son" anyone who's seen the Zab Judah interview (made recently)knows that at any time, Ward can, and will, land a devastating body shot. what a fight. Mickey says of the pain , "it lingers",but he landed those shots rather than felt them. ZJ managed to hide it, but usually, a guy... Oscar DLH/BHop, Ward/Sanchez ,Ward/Gatti ,is so visibly affected by it, that it's obvious he needs some recovery time.that's why Oscar was counted out, despite what he and others have said. Gatti's reluctance to mix it up just after getting up, is because to throw a shot, means to upset the spot where it's killing him. nobody ever doubted AG's toughness.before or after.
3 legends, great interview guys,keep em coming please.
The most amazing fight in history hands downs it was a pure war unbelievable human beings omg!!! Sick insane performance these two were super humans all that energy just banging toe to toe just unbelievable warriors
One of the ALL TIME best fights evah!
RIP Gatti 🙏 ❤ Thx Ward! GATTI VS WARD I ...Round 9.😮😢 Only they can touch this greatness.
Micky Ward will always be the pride of Lowell Massachusetts
Best moment in sports history I watched live. Thanks Micky! Miss Gatti, he was my number 1, but you are a close second.
RIP Gatti, Ward is a great guy and extremely humble, what a fight it was
May not be in the H.O.F. but was 1 half of the greatest 3 fight trilogy ever!
Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti 2 blood and guts warriors who will never be forgotten.
love these shows keep them comming
Ward is a Legend.. of course he deserves to be in the Boxing Hall of Fame..
Absolutely
Teddy your face is a picture you're living every second of the fight Respect from ☘️🇮🇪🍀💚 Mickey the champ Rip Arturo champ 🙏💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Great channel guys, we all love your content. You should get some guests on again, when things go back to normal.
Keep up the good work.
Brilliant show with micky from another irish man
I love Micky. RIP Arturo 🥊
I think the greatest round of all time was (Hagler vs Hearns) round 1, *The War* 1985. But ward vs gatti round 9 is top 3 no question.
Emmy award-winning segment
Round 9 sends shivers down my spine. That's what I call 2 warriors going to war and neither willing to fold under the pressure.
3 of the best flights I've ever seen I saw all 3 of there flights never seen any flights like that since
Great human great heart And it's still shows Respect MW
Thank you Teddy! ❤️
