probably the most brutal,ebb and flow fight in recent memory(including morales-barrera).....i hope that hbo sees fit to reward these two courageous fighters with a substantial bonus....i also hope that there is no rematch....as a true boxing fan i`d like to see both these guys leave this fight with their pride(and their lives)intact....these two guys always end up in this type of fight,but this went a step further....probably neither guy should see the inside of a ring again for at least six months(ward`s cut will ensure that).......unbelievable show of courage and will that won`t soon be matched(well,maybe barrera-morales two)...actually thought gatti did enough to eke out a close points decision(but with the low blow point deduction and the knock down you can`t argue with the decision)....once again,really don`t want to see these guys do it again as their styles may make for a tragic ending.....don`t want to see these brave guys permantly damaged...BRAVO to mickey ward and arturo gatti....fight of the year(and maybe fight of the decade).....
