[@oasis4ever92]

micky ward is one of my favourite fighters ever, he had 13 losses. the guys a legend. like the american ricky hatton, always has time for his fans and just a true down to earth guy

[@cmfishburn]

My neighbor use to run (i dont mean train) with Dickie back in the day. He talks the same. We go to AA together and play cribbage. We both had our ups and plenty of downs. Its not a easy childhood being porr in New England, I dont care what frigin city it is Lowell to Bangor Hartford to Medford. Show some respect.

[@dublinbred]

[@RossCan]

[@Eddieguitarloebs]

Mark Wahlberg did a great job... all the actors and actresses did..Micky Ward is not only a great fighter,but when you hear him talk and smile you can tell he's a very nice person,and i get that from Dicky too...lot's of good energy coming from that guy, both of them...great brothers!

[@bradlott9876]

Dicky is a one man crime wave

[@BeaNTowN2316]

Ward Gatti Greatest trilogy ever!! Jim Lampley crying no one makes jim lampley cry no one only when talking about Ward and Gatti. RIP Arturo!! I am a huge boxing fan and I used to box..oranges in the chelsea produce market I could have been a contender??Micky ward although I never met always presents himself as a humble gentleman love to meet him one day maybe take a ride up to Lowell from Somerville one day or westofrd I believe is where he has a gym. Dickie did go the distance with one of the greatest to do it in the fight game. Whether or not he knocked leonard down or tripped thats up to you, Dickie still went the distance. Heart, Heart, Heart and the size of the fight in the dog is what most of it takes I believe for any fighter. Great movie top 5 for me all time.

[@balethechristian5418]

Great spirit

[@youngmillionaire9652]

MUCH RESPECT TO MICKEY WARD. CANT WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE...

[@robertmacleod7587]

dickey deserves alot of respect not many men overcome the demon drug he did it he is a champion

[@jeffreyfreeman4843]

I was behind the bar on the floor this night slinging drinks it got so crazy at one point Micky came behind our bar to get a break from the crowd which was very demanding of his attention and he’s just a normal guy.

[@aadrianlee]

The fight ...... one Brilliant story ( :

[@warmsunshinenow]

I love movies based on true stories and this was no exception! I thought it was a great movie and Congrats to the Underdog…Mickie Ward! I also hope Dickie Ward is doing well and maintaining his sobriety.

[@ceowulf7328]

Part 2 with Gatti trilogy pretty please 🙏

[@warmsunshinenow]

Sorry Dickie…I meant Dickie Eklund!

[@sharwatchers3000]

There's going to be sequel for that KlashaB12

[@Sephenon]

@jaypballer1 I agree with you completely. I've read the ORIGINAL screen play and 2 books on mickey's fights and career and actually life over like, all 40 years. He's AMAZINGLY articulate. And he's also probably a little drunk here. It's like, the only drug he hasn't/refused to stop lol.

[@cullyvan]

@cmfishburn I'm from Edinburgh Scotland and you change the accents and the people are the same. Tough places, tough ubpringings. Good luck Dickie.

[@andrewgarcia1617]

Dicky look like an old McGregor

[@mgtkr1]

dickie was a very good boxer. its a great shame the evil poison that is drugs took its grip on a guy who fought a very competitive fight with perhaps the greatest middleweight in history!! also he trained micky ward, his brother who gave us the most exciting trilogy with arturo gatti that i personally have ever seen. not the biggest known fighters of all time but a pair of the most durable boxers in boxing. they had great ability, great respect for eachother and huge guts/heart. r.i.p arturo

[@andykokolis1977]

new england has the best boxers!!

[@cmfishburn]

People are makin fun of the real Dickie on youtube. My neighbor use to run (i dont mean train) with Dickie back in the day. Hes told me stories from the movie before it came out and some I will never repeat. He talks the same. We go to AA together and play cribbage. We both had our ups and plenty of downs. Its not a easy childhood being porr in New England, I dont care what frigin city it is Lowell to Bangor Hartford to Medford. Show some respect.

[@bmatta25]

@druha10304 Are you joking me? Christian Bale killed that roll

[@krizonras17]

[@FastForward2012]

[@hogiesanKenobi]

@druha10304 You are the only one laughing then .. Go all the way .

[@KlashaB12]

They missed out the best part in wards career though :/

[@paul-egz4264]

Dicky is eating this up!!! Better than crack or heroin right dicky??

[@PARTHURT]

Don't be angry about those making fun of Dickie! Who are they.what have they ever done? Nothing! This is the only way they can grab any attention! They are pathetic!

[@AnnaLVajda]

Well that is why people get angry they don't like to hear them talking trash.

[@blankman2879]

[@gailpurcell3075]
