** NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED **
June 7th, 2003. In "The Final Chapter", Arturo “Thunder” Gatti and “Irish” Micky Ward met in the ring for the third and final time to close the book on their epic rivalry that started 35 months ago where Ward won a close MD10 the first time and Gatti evened up to score in the rematch via UD10.
Prefight records; Gatti 35(28)-6, Ward 38(27)-12.
Entering the rubber match, Ward had beaten commendable oppositions in Emanuel Augustus, Reggie Green & Arturo Gatti. On the other hand, Gatti had triumphs over top opponents in Calvin Grove, Micky Ward, Tracy Harris Patterson, Terron Milett, Wilson Rodriguez & Gabriel Ruelas.
For the first 3 rounds, Gatti controlled the bout with the same stick and move strategy which he executed to near perfection in their previous meeting and Ward only able to connect occasionally.
25 seconds into the 4th frame, Gatti broke his right hand when he landed a punch to Ward’s hipbone. Ward seized the advantage and follow up with a barrage of shots. However, Gatti was not discouraged as he utilized his left to return fire after surviving Ward’s onslaught.
From this moment on, the fight became increasingly competitive but Gatti was still the more efficient despite fighting mostly with 1 good arm; as he continued to land punches in bunches and danced away before Ward could retaliate with his own offense. However, there were occasions in which Ward was able to close the distance and nail Gatti with hard shots.
Ward landed an accidental low blow in the 2nd round and Gatti limped for a few moments while Gatti also connected with a shot below the belt in in the 5th. Timeout were called in both instances, but no points were deducted (not shown).
Gatti was decked in the 6th with a right hand by Ward, who did not get to follow up as the bell sounded.
The 7th round was perhaps the most exciting round of this third meeting, and definitely one of the best rounds in their trilogy of fights.
“No championship is involved. And you get more action in a 10 rounds than you normally get in a 15 round fight”.
- Emmanuel Stewart
“The most overused word in sports commentary is ‘incredible’. This is another incredible fight!”
- Jim Lampley
“The Atlantic Ocean outsides these doors are turning into the Red Sea”.
- Larry Merchant
After 27 minutes of an all action bout, Gatti was evidently ahead in the cards as he clearly won a majority of the rounds despite Ward’s knockdown in the 6th.
In the final frame, both fighters (just as they did in their 2 previous fights) fought the last 3 minutes with full explosiveness to end their historic series of fights. Both embraced after the final bell to the thunderous applause of the crowd.
After 30 rounds, the final chapter of their majestic rivalry was closed with a UD10 in favor of Arturo Gatti.
The 3 judges scored it 97-92 & 96-93 (2x).
Ring Magazine named Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward III as the Fight of the Year 2003.

Best Trilogy I have ever seen in my life
jony jay without a doubt my friend!!!
Hands down
Floyd vs igner yohanssen trilogy is equally magnificent
Ali vs. Frazier - 2nd one was a bit of a dud and in 1st one Ali was spent after the midway point and was kinda one-sided. Barrera vs. Morales was awesome, and so was Marquez vs. Vazquez, those fights are often forgotten. (the 4th should've never happened). Also Holyfield vs. Bowe was a hell of a trilogy. But when it comes to sheer blood and guts and as Lampley said "two of the most honest fighters in the sport", Gatti/Ward doesn't have to take a backseat to anybody.
@gmi g Fuckin-A, right on :-)
Cut to 15 years later and we've got heavyweights arguing over who should get the most blah blah I want 20 million .... And here's these two providing 30 rounds of war giving a pint of blood and a pound of flesh for probly a million a time .... Here's a thought take some of that 20 million and go and pay these two men (gattis family) what they were worth !!!
So fucking true Arturo and micky should’ve deserved to live like kings for the rest of their lives
@@cinnamonsavage8728 They both did a good money with those fights, it's a shame Gatti could not get his diserved rest
Carl Levison yes but boxing is different get over it people should want to maximize their dollar as much as they can they are the ones risking their lives not us easy to say behind a screen
they boxed their hearts out Nothing more
anonymous anonymous the problem wirh Gatti and Ward is that if you took these two guys and put them in the ring with Mayweather or Pacquiao, they end up in the hospital. Very entertaining watching them fight eachother, yes. But only because they are on an even playing field. They couldn’t compete with the elite/world class guys which is why they didn’t get paid that type of money.
I can feel my eyes begin to water after those three wars Gatti and Ward put each other through they hug it out in the end and show each other show much respect. True warriors and men of respect. RIP Arturo Gatti and much respect for both men. Those two put on the greatest trilogy in the history of boxing. Thank you 🙏
The video of the 2 of them in hospital after this fight chattin away like best mates checking on each other is truly heart warming , no stupid fake beefs just 2 working class men doing there job
They became close friends, and Ward was even coaching Gatti in the last few fights of his career
Respect to both. I cried after one of these fights. It took something out of ME just watching it.
Now imagine what it took out of them ??
@@MacMac1313 lol..yep. exactly
Rest in Heaven Gatti ☝️, thank you for everything 🙏🙏🙏
He committed suicide soooooo... If you believe in heaven then you probably liked to know everyone who commits suicide goes to hell automatically its the ultimate sin.
@@kratosofwar6165 He was murdered. That ruling was BS.
Well believe what you want, bottom line is it's said he committed suicide there for he can't be in heaven lol
@Van Damme oh also while you're at it, learn English if you're going to talk some shit. Lol "pour"
@@kratosofwar6165 if you actually wanna look into it. It’s very likely he was killed lol
These two could of just fought each other there whole careers.
Every time I have a bad day.....I always come back to Ward/Gatti with a beer or 12!!!! RIP Arturo!!
I had goosebumps watching the last round when everybody stood up to cheer for these two great warriors slugging it out.
THE BEST TRILOGY IN BOXING HISTORY ! WARD vs GATTI.
Go check out Israel Vasquez Vs Rafael Marquez I think they had 4 fights ... It's up there with these in terms of drama it's not as good but it's the next best thing , kinda like this is Coca Cola and the above mentioned is Pepsi haha 👍
For sure, a real slugfest, have watched it loads of times, never get bored of it.
WOW!!! I can't believe that the 3rd fight was as good as the 1st! In the first fight they were antagonists that didn't know each other but by this fight they were great friends AND STILL slugged it out and gave it all . RESPECT Ward and Gatti
2 great champions with heart of a lion
Wow that last round was standing ovation with matching applause
These are the type of fights i wouldnt have problem with buying on ppv fights that were worth to see
Working mans ballet. This is truly beautiful to watch !!
All time classic, these dudes were so fun to watch rip gatti
Out of all the highlights ive watched in the last 3 days on youtube of just these 2. This is the best one of all. Ward and gatti both quick as hell
Watch Maidana vs Aamir Khan ...GGG vs Saul...Maidana vs Marquez...These all Are also Class..
These two were made for each other. They fought 30 rounds against each other and every round was priceless .
Ying/Yang. A perfect match
Thank you Arturo and micky for showcasing the human spirit with your courage and heart.rip arturo.you left us with memories we'll never forget.
Pound for Pound, The G.O.A.T. for Trilogy Match Up Fights. ✌🐝w/Us All
This fight is like if Rocky Balboa fought himself
Rocky Balboa vs Bocky Ralboa
Funny.
Unbelievable fight. Two skilled fighters leaving it all in the ring.
Came here to watch the 3rd fight and same as the other 2 fights thats once in a life time
What a great fight. All 3 were the best fights ever
Boxing at its best! End to end stuff, what a boxing spectacle !
Both them had respect for each other they gave us the best three fightd these eyes has ever seen.
Great figth I can watch this over and over again
Respect to both fighters. RIP Gatti...
Best I’ve ever seen the first one is my all time favorite hands down !
Never to be seen again 2 absolute legends who were perfectly matched warriors

Nobody will ever fight at this rate ever again maybe pac man but damn these men went to war
Absolutely incredible. Superb. What a fight. Again!

If boxing were still like this there wouldn't be MMA!
No titles on the line, no massive PPV, no big Vegas or MSG venue, just 2 of the most honest fighters the sport has ever known going all in, nothing left on the table, for pride and the will to live life on their own terms.
They way the sport should be!
Legends !!! Rest in peace gatti and we love u MICKEY
Remembering these 3 hardest to watch fights, still gives the bumps. Gatti is the better all around fighter but when Ward hits him in the body, everything turns instantly. Even Judah said the worst punch he got was Ward’s body shot that he wants to quit.
Two of the most brutal and toughest boxers of all time, respect to both warriors 👏👏👏
Man these fight were great. Two warriors going at, there’s nothing like it
Arturo put together some nice combos R.I.P the goat Gatti
I remember watching all three of these fights. HBO boxing after dark on Friday Nights. I loved many of them.
The best boxing you'll ever see period....
Absolute Titans. Fuckn incredible. Every cent spent on the tickets to these guys matches was worth it for whoever went. To witness such a battle, as close to seeing a war without being in one
I got teary when they went into hug at the end, absolute warriors!
This fight always give me the strength to continue in life... Mad respect for both.
Bravo bravo bravo!!!
I can't imagine if trilogy heavyweight boxers fight like this from start to finish. Incredible showcase of endurance, toughness and see saw battle all the way.
Oh yes. The Thrilla in Manila.
From Manus Island, PNG, ...great respect for you both. Micky and Atturo, you both have great heart. Respect. RIP Atturo. And especially for Micky Ward, its something like a Rocky Balboa movie, great admiration for you. Respect. Micky Ward 💪👍
These guys done this 3 times its madness how do 2 humans do that and keep going love these guys tough doesn't even describe them freaks of nature 🥊🥊🥊
This pairs trilogy is beyond words, absolutely and incredibly sensational.
God ward was a tough guy .. that full force left hook at 4:30 would've knocked an elephant .
Ward had an incredible chin. He showed it in the Judah fight too
No it isn't.
I watched alot of fights I'm my life and I'm 51 and these 3 , fights between these guys are the best I ever seen
Amazing to see the improvements Arturo made over the course of the 3 fights
And Micky also.
First time i watched this.... This is the best ever trilogy in boxing for me... Fight of the century... 💪💪💪
it's NOT fight of the year..it's fight of the decades...!!! both warrior is truly the beast..!!
I got chills watching both of them hug after the fight. True respect..
Best fights ever, any one of them
Favorite fight ever
AMAZING FIGHTERS! These guys I always imagined were such good friends that they gave it their best so as to not disappoint one another! BRAVO gents!!
Best fight i ever ever see 😮
I don't even care who won these fights. They both win people hearts.
The last 30 seconds they go all out in the middle of the ring not to win the fight but to give each other respect and love. They say I love you and respect you by throwing punches with all of their hearts
Incredible!
Came here from Ward V Gatti 1.
I'm off to see fight 2 😸
Sencillamente impresionante a aplaudir de pie !!!
That hug at the end though.....
Warriors...
Nothing in this world can even mesure ,close to this ) Nothing ever this is boxing in another Dimention .. we wont ever see the likes of this ever again ...... Boxing At its best Absolute .. another Realm.
RIP Arturo. We love you in Vero Beach.
Both of these fighters were forged from fire and steel, descendents of the gods of War. This is what happens when Roman and Celtic bloodlines meet in the cauldron of war. Nothing like this will be seen again in modern times. 1000 years from now our descendants will still be talking about this magnificent and glorious spectacle of war that was Gatti/Ward 1, 2 and 3. Magnificence, ,brilliance, passion, fury and glory all manifesting itself before our very own mortal eyes.
those combo’s gatti throws are beautiful to watch.the volume and power he puts into them are something special to watch.after all the wars he endured a fighter is not supposed to look better and faster at the end of a brutal career.just goes to show the dedication this man had to his craft.he is defying the rules of age and the punishment he has taken all the years leading up to this fight.
THE BEST FIGHTS EVER
Ahhh you should’ve left the part in where gatti went back to his corner after the 3rd round
Esto si eran peleas de boxeo, los boxeadores de hora con un solo trompon de esos ya no se paraba más
There is no other match and bout out there , like Ward vs Gatti...a leage of its own
This is as close to a Rocky movie fight you'll ever see in real life
What a scrap! They stand at the center of the ring exchanging shots until the bell!
God damn, listen to that crowd in the last minute of the 10th round...
These wars took years off of their boxing life
If these legends were here today on their prime, they would beat up today's generation of boxers.
Hermoso gancho de Ward univo
One of the great trilogies in modern boxing . Castillo vs corrales was an epic trilogy too
Holy cow boys.
trilogy for the ages
Thanks for putting these videos up Jeff 👍🏻👍🏻
These fighters are both great
This is what happens when you get two boxing that are both willing and able to take shots to get their feet in position to land their own. Fascinating to watch in that context.
Two remarkable warriors Arturo gatti was a legend rip to a warrior
Ini benar benar petinju sejati benar benar jantan cara bertinju yang hebat jual beli aduh pukul tidak ada yang merangkul the best boxing real fight...good fighter boxing
Damn, I needed to see a cut man and take an ice bath after just watching that!
This was way better than the second fight
In my life I never see such a fight
Gatti and ward pure Warriors, be icing at its best 👍 how comes they were only 10round fights tho?
This trilogy and Erik Moraels vs Barrera were best trilogy
Name one trilogy in history in boxing or mma thats better than this war.
Part 3 was a fukn war!
At this stage #3 there was a big payday but they both stayed true to their fans and gave it everything they had. It's wasn't about the money.
Gatti was nasty!!!
What Micky ward & Arturo gatti shared together, only they know. only they can touch it, only they can feel it
En las 2 últimas pelas gatti lo combinaba muy bien al cuerpo y así lo desgastó con gran boxeo …. UNOS GUERREROS !!!!!!
Is it even humanly possible to dislike Arturo or Mickey???
