Between the choice of athletes feautured, the Intel, themes, video footage, narration, soundbites, and overall presentation, ESPN has been obsolete to me since 2018.

'Irish' Mickey Ward’s signature punch was an extremely effective left hook to the liver, a weapon that earned him more than a few clean knockouts. Few boxers have relied so much on that single, debilitating weapon. Today Mikey does suffer symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy because his ability to absorb punches were extraordinary.

"I used to wonder what it would be like to fight my twin, now I know." ~ Arturo "Thunder" Gatti. That quote has stuck with me for as long as I've been watching the sport and in my mind, no trilogy has ever come close to this one in terms of the spirit, violence, and determination put on display by Ward and Gatti. Mega thanks for giving this your iconic touch, Joe. It was a superb watch.

I was at that fight by sheer coincidence. My buddy was on the undercard that night and we ended up getting more than we bargained for. People started pouring in from the Casino by the time the 5th round started because word had spread that there was a war taking place. The whole fight, everyone was stunned that there was NOT a knockout. There were at least 4 occasions where it looked like one of them was gonna get finished and every time, they rallied back. It was bonkers.

Another fantastic video which could only be made by Joseph “The G.O.A.T.” Vincent!! Speaking as someone who was born on October 1996, but didn’t start watching boxing until the mid-2010’s…I could only imagine what all 3 of Arturo Gatti’s fights against Micky Ward looked like. I’ve always wished that I became a boxing fan before this legendary ternary of matches came along, no doubt about it.
