i never seen the hbo version and was jjust watching the first fight again, manny steward just went nuts!
From memory this is some of the commentary from round 9 " can you believe there's still a minute and a half left in the round " " you know.. you dream about fights like this happening but very rarely do they live up to your expectations " " ward should go back to the body " " stop it frank.. stop it anytime "
Quotes From memory... "Here comes Gatti back!!!!!" "You can stop it Frank, you can stop it any time" "That's where he (Ward) needs to go, TO THE BODY!!!!!!" "Arturo Gatti refusing to go down" "In the past, this is where Arturo Gatti has been dangerous" "Gatti blinking away the blood in the right eye, can't see out of the right eye" "Unbelievable" "You know, you dream of fights like this, but very seldom do they live up to expectations" "Oh my God" Gatti vs Ward, Round 9, makes something well up inside of me EVERY time I watch it... Gatti (Ward too, to a lesser extent) is the reason why I fell in love with boxing...
"Gatti's going to survive the round" The capper to round 9. Also love the quotes from J Griz. I've only seen the HBO broadcast, and love it.
Always my favorite line, just the way he said it with such excitement stands out to me. The call of "Gatti's going to survive the round!" gets me too.
"We knew it would be a candidate for fight of the year, we didnt know it would be a candidate for fight of the century"
Yea, the sheer amazement/excitement in their words added to the excitement of that fight to me, love or hate them (commentators). That fight still makes the hairs on the back of neck stand up when I watch...
