Who's here watching in 2025? I remember watching these fights as a kid and always looked up to Arturo! I was devastated when I heard the bad news. RIP Arturo "Thunder" Gatti

I watch this fight every year on the day of in honor of these two warriors. Truly remarkable fight. Listening to Jim Lampley talk about this fight is enough to make anyone cry. Thank you Micky and Arturo

Inhuman how both men gave and took so much punishment. Both seemed at the brink of defeat multiple times. Some people are disappointed when a fight goes to the judges but they were just too stubborn to end. I think the ref could’ve waved off this one in the name of fighter safety a couple of times and no one would’ve cried foul. That was a fight that takes years off of your life. RIP Gatti.

Watched this on HBO, live that night. Fully expecting an incredible fight. But like Manny Steward said, these are the fights you dream about. And it was. I was mesmerized with this fight. That 9th round was one of the top 10 rounds in history. The early 2000's had some of the best boxing you'd ever see.

These two left their souls in that ring that night. The brutality that they both went through is crazy. Neither was ever the same after this fight. I think Micky Ward who won here, took the most out of himself here. He was never the same again.

That day they blocked punches with there heads

Talk about not holding back punches!
