365 Day Challenge Day 364: Arturo Gatti v Micky Ward II
- Thread starter Psycho Shaun
- Start date
A good fight, not on the level of the first but a decent fight none the less.
Very one sided though, Gatti was in control throughout the fight here and really showed he was on a different level of skill to Ward.
Never realised before how old Ward was going into this fight.
37 year old shouldn't be going through gruelling fights like this.

1. 9-10 Gatti
2. 9-10 Gatti
3. 8-10 Gatti. ANYBODY but Mickey Ward and the ref steps in there, but it is Mickey Ward and he goes on to win the second half of the round and lands some hard shots of his own
4. 10-9 Ward but only just. Gatti did a lot of good work there and this could still be a whitewash.
5. 9-10 Gatti. Seeing in this round, the difference between a counter-puncher and someone just willing to fire back
6. 9-10 Gatti. Closer round
7. 9-10 Gatti. Stunning stuff from Gatti
8. 9-10 Gatti. Ward wanted this fight then Kostya Tzsyu before he retired. Ward vs Tszyu
9. 9-10 Gatti. Ward did catch him here but Gatti responded in real style
10. 10-10 punched to a stand still. Stunning last round. Although hearing George tell us Gatti might be losing was crazy talk
91-99 Gatti. Lederman scored the 8th and you could have given him the 10th at absolute most you score that 97-92
Still a fantastic fight. Says a lot about no1 that this fight was a long way off. But it was an excellent display from Gatti.
I don't know that there is a better fighter to watch from an aesthetic point of view. He is smooth, throws beautiful combinations, moves well and when he decides to box, shows that he can do it to a very high standard. Nothing he does looks awkward or ungainly and he blends good boxing technique, with aggression and power in almost all shots in a way that, from the viewers perspective, is almost perfect.

Think this is the worselt of the series but is still entertaining as he. Its a little too one sided for Gatti who actually learnt from the first fight and used his superior technical ability to cruise to a win.
Its threatened to go mad a few times but then Gatti just goes back on the backfoot and box which was of course the amart thing to do.

Funny thing is if you actually study him Micky was a better fighter in his 30s than in his 20s.
Other thsn his last fight he was game all throughout.
