I watched a documentary about the brain. It turns out just like every other part of the body the brain genetically is more resilient to impacts in some people than others. This dude walked like the terminator in the ring. Some people are more resilient than others it seems. I'm amazed he took what he took because if your brain can take it that's one thing but if you can take the punishment on a big level it's impressive. I have boxed a bit and it's scary mentally when you take a lot of damage because you worry about what it's doing. I've been hit so hard it felt like an electric bolt went through my brain. Boxing is a lottery for sure. Point is micky was not a gifted boxer but he sure was gifted in the taking it department.

@barbaracordell2648 4 года назад

I totally agree! Three of the best fights. I shared the passion with my Dad! I would record the fights and send them to him. I live in SoCal. He lived in Phoenix. I sure miss my dad! I always would dream of taking him to a fight. Never any money!!! He passed in 2004. In 2013 my sisters took me to Wild Card gym to meet Freddie. It was awesome him and all the guys in the gym were so amazing. I have a signed T-shirt framed on my office wall! It was a very emotional time, all I could think about, I wish my dad was there. Very hard not to cry! But I know he was watching from heaven!!!

He always kept going, partly because he had the heart of a lion and partly because he knew he had a weapon that could end it all in a second, no matter how badly he was being outboxed. Micky threw the left to the body as well as anyone, including fighters way above him in class like Barrera and Chavez.

@TombstoneHeart 5 лет назад

I once saw an interview with Kostya Tszyu where he described just how debilitating a well aimed shot to the liver can be. He said the pain is so great that the whole body is in pain. After watching some of Micky Ward's body shot knockouts, I can believe every word of it. Which just serves to reinforce my long held belief that professional boxers are the bravest men on the face of this planet.

Gatti ward era was when I was too young. But I watched everything when I was old enough. Gatti was my favourite fighter till I saw gatti ward 1. Ward will be my favourite fighter forever. Ward was gatti on steroids when it came to taking to give. I call ward the terminator because I’ve never seen a fighter take what he could and keep fighting. I love fighters who can hit and not get hit but if I could be another man other than myself it would be Micky. Micky is one in a million. Big up Micky he was the only man with more metal than any man that walked this earth.

@Dingbobber 6 лет назад

MrAMYJACK because when the liver receives enough pressure or trauma it shuts the body down because of shock. It’s an involuntary action, you can’t build muscle around the liver so it doesn’t matter how big or tough you are, it’s like a big off switch.

Whatever ... this was absolutely amazing, Micky looked totally outclassed, non committal, and Sanchez was just wailing away, commentators saying the Ref should stop the fight, people should get their money back ..... then ...... WHAM another dead liver, Sanchez couldn't get up ... pugilistic poetry.
