Micky Ward The Fighter Interview

Boxer Micky Ward gives his opinion on Mark Wahlberg and the movie. He also talks about how it felt to see his brother's problems and his family's fighting play out on the big screen.

[@JulianLife81]

I was in Lowell a few months back and one mention of his name is all it takes. He's local and everyone knows and respects him.

[@Nesto38]

What do you mean by one mention of his name is all it takes? Do they try to beat you up?

[@indiscernibleStranger]

@@Nesto38 Ha ha. You get what He means though.

[@lancashirebomber2739]

love micky ward. proper fighter.

[@terriblena3242]

still can't understand why they did not include Ward's trilogy with Arturo Gatti in the film, is that crazy or what??!! I mean that is what Micky Ward is most known for, and it would have been cool to see that in the movie.

[@matthewhughson7968]

that's what the sequel's about

[@dabatman]

Matthew Hughson what sequel😂

[@dabatman]

I also wish they showed the Emmanuel Auguste's fight

[@Chief2Moon]

+E&J brandy I'll drink to that! The Augustus-Ward fight was also "tax on toughness" like the Gatti-Ward trilogy, These 4 fights rank among the all time best fights in my opinion.

[@dabatman]

@@Chief2Moon right!

[@sawtanang]

Stroke of genius not to put the trilogy with Gatti (RIP) in the movie. I think the emotion of the family struggle and drugs would have lost its effect. Us boxing fans know the trilogy anyways and movie fight scenes suck to the trained eye.

[@martybreeden6116]

Totally agree!

[@oldwhippersnapper3]

Incredibly tough fighter and decent guy. Respect from Australia.

[@b66docos]

How friggin' hard is it for people to see that the movie was as much about Dickie as it was about Micky, it was about how they pulled through some hard times to beat the odds. If that ain't a NE story man, holy shit. If you want to see a movie about the trilogy check out HBO's legendary nights, it's done better than Hollywood could ever hope to achieve. Hollywood doesn't even have the credibility to make a movie as real or gutsy as the Gatti/Ward fights anyway, so I for one am thankful for the HBO doc and if you haven't seen it yet .... it's a must-watch!!

[@robd5326]

His fights vs Gatti (God rest his sole)were the best fights of all time.

[@VeronicaLopez-dn5zo]

Rob D Most Definitely!

[@ronandunphy7371]

Damn right,!gets the blood going and the respect from both fighters are a sight to behold,round 9 some of best footage ever shot

[@giannasquillace9448]

Damn he was still working in the teamsters even after making the millions after the Arturo fights , this guys work ethic is insane!! Hard working , hard fighting all around great guy! Love you Mic!! Thanks for the great fights!

[@keithmeeks1281]

Did you not watch the movie? His family probably drained his money from him.

[@G.F.Browning]

Of course he is, he's a working class Irish kid from New England some of the hardest workers I know (and I got first hand experience my family is fulled with em 😂)

[@harispilton2742]

Mickey your life is WAY BETTER than any Hollywood ending!!!Ward is the toughest fighter I've ever known and yet he is so modest! U can't find a better guy!!!! I've seen almost all of Ward's fights and he had more heart than anyone else! There is a guy who can be proud of his life and his accomplishments!

[@SV.S.T]

I LOVE BOXING I GROW UP WATCHING THE LIKES OF SALVADOR SANCHEZ ALEXI ARGUILLO LUPE PINTOR EL PUAS MARVIN HANGLER IAM MEXICAN AMERICAN MIKEY WARD IS ONE OF MY FAVIORTE BOXERS IN HISTORY TRUE CHAMP VERY HUMBLE

[@chunkywillo5392]

Haha right?

[@lordburlap4514]

A fighter's fighter...enough said.

[@JulianLife81]

Indeed!

[@kerri-annemallet2604]

I love when he says "CHUMSford". That accent brings back fond (and some not so fond) memories of my early childhood growing up in Lowell. For those who are not familiar with the area, his gym he is speaking about is in CHELMSford. 😆

[@CookingWithMichaelD]

Yeah all of us from Lowell we know I still got the accent still love it still love the city

[@fortunetechinc]

Would love to see a fighter2 film with Micky and Gatti brawling it out One of the best fights you will ever see.

[@alexmccourt7072]

[@lesward76]

King of the body shot. Terrible interviewer. They should have at least had a boxing fan ask the question.

Why does this video look like It was shot on a VHS tape? Lol The fighter was shot not that long ago.

[@IUITRepresentIT]

dude is beast

[@pkilla88]

Ward vs gatti is legendary, two warriors!, rest in peace to gatti, you can tell just from his demeanor hes just a blue collar guy who doesnt like or dislike the hollywood stuff hes just himself

[@Soccox]

I agree with lower post, the interviewer is weak. Micky never backed up, very big heart, took shots al night long, and chopped down many of trees with his body shots. Mickey would bruise your internals and make you very very very sore ==a bad dude

[@FishermanClay8108]

Seems like a real good guy

[@oOWrvOo12]

i love micky

[@WysdomHub]

Great movie 🎥

[@carlosrafael7705]

Gotti trilogy would have made the movie 3 hours long and we all know the American attention span is like a gold fish (3seconds). Anyways! Glad some of Micky’s story was told. Anyone from all the gate cities of Massachusetts has to be tough to make it out here. The movie should have featured more Drop Kick Murphy’s Warrior Code as well. Overall awesome share!

[@tigerkingmmaacademychina1613]

great fighter

[@danielnatzke6733]

Oh wow. Well given how identical Walhberg was to this guy....the film had excellent castinf!

No offense, but does Micky look a little punch drunk?

Yeah little bit. He's got that bit of a slur. The guy is pure class though
