Ward vs Gatti 2 - This saturday on HBO.

[GonzoStyle]

The fight was great in my opinion. Unlike shane mosley who lost all hope and desire after being rocked in the 2nd round of his fight with Vernon Forrest. What Mickey Ward pulled off in the 3rd round gave me goosebumps, I could not believe my eyes. It did remind me of the 9th round of the 1st Ward Vs. Gatti fight, when ward floored gatti with his bread and butter punch, the left hook to the body. Gatti somehow got up and managed to dominate the last 30 seconds.

Ward's problem was he thought he could lure Gatti into a brawl once again. Gatti boxed a perfect fight, especially from the 5th round on. He kept ward away with the jab, held him when he got in close and countered him perfectly. Ward showed amazing guts, him begging Gatti to hit him after Gatti pulverized him with body shots was reminscent of the 10th round between Bowe & Holyfield.

Ward was in this fight even though the scoring may not have shown it, this fight coulda ended at any point. Gatti knew there was practically no way he could KO ward but he also knew Ward could KO him, so he didn't fall for any traps.

There has to be a third fight, to not have a rubber match after 20 of the most amazing rounds I have seen in ages would be a travesty. Forget Lewis, Mosley, Barrera, Morales, all of them. This is the fight we wanna see, I assure you no one will be dissapointed.

Enjoy it while you can though, whatever fight ward takes next will be his last.
