MICKY WARD
The boxer trades blows with arch-rival Arturo Gatti in this signed color photograph
Photograph signed: "Micky Ward". Color, 10x8. Micky Ward (born October 4, 1965)
became a professional boxer in 1985. Although Ward never held a major title in
his junior welterweight division and finished with a strong but not stellar 38-13
record, he was renowned for his heart and stamina in the ring. Particularly
famous are Ward's trilogy of fights with Arturo Gatti. Their first confrontation
in May 2002, broadcast live on HBO and won by Ward, was named the 2002
Fight of the Year by Ring Magazine. Gatti won the following two matches, with
the third and final fight between the two men also earning Fight of the Year
plaudits. With this honor, Micky Ward joined all-time greats Rocky Marciano
and Carmen Basilio, as the only men to have participated in three straight
Fights of the Year. Ward won the 2001 award with a win over Emanuel
Augustus. In the 2010 film The Fighter, Mark Wahlberg stars as Micky with
Christian Bale portraying his half-brother Dick "Dicky" Eklund, also a former
professional boxer. The film chronicles Eklund's struggle with drug abuse and
won two Academy Awards. Today, the two brothers operate a boxing gym in
Lowell, Massachusetts. Fine condition.
