I'll never forget, I happened to be in a Vegas sportsbook during their first fight, and they had this thing on their jumbotron tv. Everybody watching went nuts, watching these two crazy warriors deliver vicious sequences of punches, only to have the other guy return the same, with neither going down. Round 5 and 9... never seen anything like that, before or since. Astounding!

I know gatti has a low guard but that combo is boxng history

[@CheeseIsOverRated]

simply perfection.

[@tonyhewlett4527]

Gatti said that when ward landed his fist big combo (36 seconds left in round 5) and you can see it in his eyes. He said he knew he couldn't win.

Everyone talks about Rd 9 but Rd 5 @1:36 when the clock goes out is the best. You can hear the announcers know something special is starting.

[@richrice6839]

kenfury23 I’ve always thought 5 was the best round as soon as he says they are fighting in a phone booth

[@deesmith1770]

That punch Ward through to finish his combo, I'd be in a coma.

[@yodaguy6956]

I think my brain would be too confused between deciding to fall to the left or the right to actually drop

[@younowhythatis6381]

To hear emanuel steward lose it like that.....gives me the chills.absolute boxing gold.

[@lancashirebomber9744]

the craziest thing about this fight is it's not even a title fight. pure magic.

[@jayjoseph2528]

Its not a suprise..because hes a fucking legend. With a heart of stone

[@lukeafterluke]

look at that combination!

[@notmyname731]

Ward stole tf out that round.

[@chuckjcarter]

I know they ended up best friends but I love that little move after the bell rings where Ward sort of punks him out with that uncontested feint.

[@joshuaswann-ui3ev]

Ward best combination
