Today In Boxing History... Gatti/Ward I

[TheNig]

Probably my favorite fight of all time.
Two warriors.

In my lifetime, I'll say Chico/Castillo

Greatest fight I've ever watched would be either Hagler/Leonard or Thrilla In Manila.

Great fukking fight........

meanwhile on Showtime that same night, Kosta was pitching a boring ass shut out against Ben Tackie. (Who would have guessed a fight between 2 punchers would be boring as fukk)

Tackie felt that power early lol

Tackie felt that power early lol

He did, but Kostya stuck and moved and never really unloaded like he normally does. shyt was an eyesore of a fight. It's like both were sparring with each other with that silent agreement.

Fast forward to when my nikka Shramba Mitchell gave him that work in an exciting fight even dropping Tackie hard as fukk late in the bout.

This was a war and had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning. These are the kind of fights that shorten careers but also the ones that make a casual fan become hooked on boxing.

One of the best trilogies from the last decade along with Castillo-Coralles and Morales-Barrera.
