Former WBU junior welterweight champion, and legendary ring warrior, “Irish” Micky Ward has been selected to replace Buddy McGirt as Arturo “Thunder” Gatti’s trainer, for his July 14 bout in Atlantic City,
:o
Wow. Haha, well you figure Gatti knows how to run his own camp by now, or he knows how to train. Ward will probably just be the corner guy, I doubt he is with Gatti in the gym every day. Either way, that’s awesome haha
Hell yeah !!!Sounds great…they probably have some FOTY sparring matches…
BTW who will be Gattis opponent ?!?
No idea mate theres been few they have been thinking of but nothing has gone through yet as soon as i know i’ll let you know mate.
That would be great…Have a CC in advance…
;D
Forget Gatti’s next fight, package up a few rounds of Gatti - Ward sparring on PPV.
I’d buy it.
Or at least spend boxing torrent credits on the fight. That’s more valuable than money!
Ward seems like a guy who’d go on to become a pretty good trainer. Maybe like a Freddie Roach type guy. All the power to him.
Yeah, it’s no surprise that Buddy’s stock as a trainer has plummeted. Quite unfortunate. However, I’m sure that McGirt was no longer interested in seeing Gatti get hurt.
Ward seems to be using this as a spring-board. I hope that he has Gatti’s best interest at heart. Ward could potentially be an amazing trainer.
One thing is for sure. Gatti will be in shape, and fired up. Ward might not be the best tactician, but I’m sure Gatti will be physically ready.
looks like we might be seeing a skit from rocky III where Apollo Creed wanted that favor after traning rocky
but its a change for gatti may a change he needs only time will tell
Well you can cross Malinaggi & Ndou off the list as Gattis next opponent.
I wanna see these guys sparring too!!!
they both respect each other but can their styles mash toghether
I actually think that Ward could be the next Freddie Roach in 10 years or so!
I hope i never see another terrible offensive performance from gatti, like his fight against mayweather. Gatti looked like he didn’t want to throw one punch against him. He did good defensively but terrible offensively.
