    Great read that. One of the best boxing books I have read.

    Be interesting to see what the film is like when that comes out this year.

    i know somebody has been cast as shea neary in the fighter,no official news on whether gatti will be featured in the film,from what ive heard he wont be,the film charts micky's career up until his wbu(''world'') title win.

    High on Crack Street was shot in my hometown of Lowell, Mass. Indeed Micky's brother and trainer Dicky Ecklund was/is a notorious crack cocaine user. The documentary itself is hilarious beyond belief and certain elements will be present in the upcoming film based on Micky's life, The Fighter, starring Mark Walhberg.

    The best part comes at around 4:20 when Dicky reveals that he fought Sugar Ray Leonard and leaves the HBO camera crew in disbelief.

    Truth is Micky by making his brother train him he focused him to get his life back on track.

    Dickie Eklund seemed a nice guy himself.

    With all due respect,I suggest to you that these animals are violent and will do anything to feed their addictions.They won't stay in rehab so jail is the only option to cleanse themselves in a protected environment.Only my opinion,but a logical one.:deal
