Legendary Nights

Legendary Nights   Legendary Nights  Legendary Nights: The Tale of Gatti-Ward Legendary Nights   The real really real story, narrated by Mark Wahlberg, who played Mickey Ward in the very excellent film. I recommend this documentary to anybody, not just "boxing fans", but to any human who wants to know what "the human spirit" can be, what "heart" is. The Gatti-Ward story is drenched in it and I suggest one watch this, the Wahlberg film (Christian Bale's performance is epic), watch the trilogy on YouTube and read this book, and you'll see for yourself the spiritual baptism of blood, sweat, and tears. Micky Ward had one of the all-time great left hooks, especially to the body. It's truly a Hall of Fame punch. For that, and so very many other reasons, Ward should be in the Boxing Hall of Fame himself; SEE MORE FROM STORE Legendary Nights
