Whats up guys I have not been able to contribute to the olympic talk (we didnt have much success), but you guys are making some noise. I was just watching some fight clips and was compelled to write a post. I have been to a lot of fights at different venues (with mostly irish fighters), but nothing has come close to Ward gatti 1. If you are familiar with the fight then you know round nine leaves you breathless, but the most lasting moment in my mind from that fight and in any fight for that matter was when Ward really turned the tide at the end of round 5. I posted this good highlight clip of the trilogy and at the 2 minute mark you can see the part of the combination in round 5 that turned the fight around. The pro Ward absolutely erupted. Also as a bonus in the beginning at 40 seconds you can see Ward ko Alphonso Sanchez with one of the best body shots ever (the guy was literally crying.) Anyway, do you guys remember a particuar moment in a fight that still gives you chills? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZvr0Bl_uPs
I have to say ml the first Gatti-Ward fight is my favorite fight also, it was a throw back fight to the 1950s.:hi:
