I hate Merchant, Lampley is the only fuckin oar keeping that boat on course. I prefer Stewart to Jones or even worse Foreman as the boxing expert. Merchant has his moments like when he calls people out for shit. He'd be great if he didn't deliver every breath following every word he expells from his bodyas if he was god delivering the commandments.
The fight utterly amazing considering that these two men have fought eachother 3 times in a little more than 12 months. 1st fight was May 18th, 2002 and June 7th 2003 marked the 3rd fight. The heart of these two warriors, gave us a 3 fight spectacle the likes of which have not been seen since LaMotta Vs. Robinson and Zale Vs. Graziano.
I can't compare it to the Bowe Vs. Holyfield trilogy because their 3rd fight was a farce. The second of the 3 Ali Vs. Frazier fights was also very unremarkable. This was just pure blood and guts.
The 9th round of the 1st fight, the 3rd round of the 2nd fight and the 7th round of the 3rd fight are among the greatest ever. the entire 30 round series should be archived and be mandatory viewing for every fighter and fight fan.
It should be especially mandatory for the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley, fighters who say 6,7, and 8 million a fight are "slave wages" These two fighters together over the course of 3 fights didn't break any of those numbers, all three fights COMBINED. Yet look what they put forth.
Ward was battered, he's been in the 2001 and 2002 fight of the year, he's given 100% every time out. He was just done and he knew it but he never let down, never gave up. Heart, Gatti with a broken fuckin hand threw more punches in the round after breaking his hand than at any point in his career and that's saying alot after his 2 fights with Ivan Robinson when he averaged 90 punches a round.
