Why Micky Ward?


First off, I like this movie. The acting is great and I don't think the fight scenes were that bad. But one thing that always got me wondering is: Why Micky Mard? I though it was based on a book or something, but no. Someone just decided one day to make a movie about Ward. At first I was pretty sure that it was going to be about his trilogy with Gatti, the only reason he's famous, but thats not there either. The story in the movie here doesn't seem special enough to be make a movie, and I think there are other fighter whose life would probably make more interesting films like Duran, Arguello or Hopkins.

It's about Micky Ward because he's a local hero in Boston were Mark Wahlberg grew up too. He's the one to get that movie made. That's why.







It’s just so sad that the variety of the world should be used as a contentious issue.

Heard there might be a Fighter 2 which will focus on the Trilogy fights.
