"I used to wonder what it would be like to fight my twin, now I know." ~ Arturo Gatti

Ward's ability to absorb a body shot was equally legendary.

I played Fight Night Round 3 in the 2000s and even today. These guys were on the cover! Thank you for this history lesson. I feel nostalgic over a fight I’ve never seen.

This was the best trilogy in boxing history .. RIP Arturo Gatti !

Mad respect to Augustus, not his style to slug it out inside like that but he did amazing. Props to that ref for acknowledging their performances.

Phenomenal fights, I get goosebumps when watching. Your edit and narration made this even more enjoyable. Thank you

Damn this is SO good! Thank you. Fighters don't fight like this anymore. These were epic WARS that earned fans for life!

The drunken master. Wow. Augustus was a brilliant underachiever many fans never saw him fight.

I caught their first encounter live all by myself. I was in tears jumping up and down...all by myself. It's The greatest trilogy EVER! I wish I could get my hands on the person who killed "The Thunder!" There aren't many fighters more exciting than Arturo Gatti.

Bodyshot artists are rare these days. Inoue, Ward, Loma, Canelo.....these cats knew how to break ribs

Such poetic descriptions from the narrator!! Just awesome.Fitting respect to one of the greatest trilogy.Thanks a lot!

I have tears running down my face. That was the pinnacle of trilogy boxing. Gatti is one of my all time favorite boxer, still sad knowing he’s gone. RIP Thunder

There are five fights you show when introducing somebody to boxing: Ali-frazier 1. Holyfield-Bowe. Hagler-Hearns. Leonard-Hearns. Gatti-Ward.

As match ups go, Micky Ward vs Arturro Gatti is up there with Thee Best. Two Sportsmen, Two Warriors, Two Champions who gave Us Everything they had and gave Eachother Best Friend Status. Easily The Best Trilogy I had the pleasure of watching. R.I.P. Arturro Gatti 🙏

3 fights that truly made me love boxing. The best boxing matches that weren't for a title. We will never see this again cause no one wants to Lose an 0 now a days :(

Ward vs Emmanuel Burton is one of the top 10 best fights ever. So much output

I'm a 6'1, 18 stone gas worker, been on the shovel all my working life from 13 years old, 4 children, married, suffered injuries, bankruptcy, deaths...you name it. Never shedded a tear.... not because I'm cold or owt but just because it isn't my way, but this....my word. It was beautiful. I'm sat here with tears. RIP Gatti. Long live Ward. Amazing.

I still get chills watching this trilogy. It's a 30 round love story. So epic

1 of the Greatest fights I ever seen straight blood & guts

Greatest trilogy ever, period. And all three fights were among the best of the decade. So much heart from both guys. 💪 ♥️

Two of my personal favourite fighters. The respect they showed for each other throughout their trilogy, and the honour both of them possessed, not to mention 50's style grit is something absolutely legendary in my opinion. Their cemented friendship and Ward's reactions both publicly and privately after Gatti's untimely death, and his kindness to Gatti's family, show a real man. A great man. RIP Arturo and absolute respect Micky👊

This Was The Greatest Rivalry In Boxing History And My Favorite 🥊🔥. RIP ARTURO GATTI

The Ramones & 'the Bear from Revenant' are accurate pop-culture references for this boxing classic.

I remember seeing each and every fight. Watched all of them a second time around just because they show what will and determination looks like. And still be friends in the end. Reminded me of a now friend and I. We had to throw hands several times growing up. Respect grew each time. Now we have kids. We cool now and reminisce about those days. This documentary makes me re-live those moments. Thank you!

Gatti vs Ward I is my favorite fight of all time. These guys gave it there all and nobody could ever take that away from them. That trilogy was really something special.

Rhythm boxing is underrated and under appreciated, I keep telling people

What an honor to be able to see these two warriors. I know it's a brutal sport but I always get emotional for the opposite reason. Going 36 rounds of war and finding a brother is just beautiful. Rip Gatti you deserve front row seats to fights like yours for eternity!

Absolutely amazing trilogy! Thank you for creating this video because, without it, I may never have seen or heard of this trilogy.

Thank you for making these beautiful video's. These are video's that help men get through tough days.

The references are just so god damn epic, I wish I had a reference just to show my appreciation for them!

You know you met your best boxing buddy when you go rounds like this and then become friends afterward💪

Fabulous short documentary. What a trilogy. Both these men are legends!!! R.I.P Arturo Gatti.

For that Augustus fight... only Steve Smoger would allow that kind of fight to keep going. Need more refs like him. Rarely see inside fighting like that anymore

I’ve seen all of their fights. Do you know how exhausting that is?Punching almost constantly for all those rounds. Tremendous heart on both of these guys.

There will never be boxers like these 2 ever again !! Chins of steel and hearts of true warriors 👊 Rip Gatti 🙏

I love the way you narrated this. Hell a Good writing there.

"OH MAH GAWD!!!!!!" - Emmanuel Steward ... first fight between these two in the history books as one of the greatest fights of all time.

Ward is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Always be the pride of lowell.

Damn. This is one of the best videos ever🔥🥊💯

I started boxing years ago after the first time I’ve watched All rounds of this insane Trilogy. My god do I have so much admiration for these two tough SOB’s

This trilogy will be immortalized for sure.

It's a beautiful trilogy. Hard earned and well deserved fights of the year respectively.

I remember these fights, as tough as he was, you couldn't help but root for him. I hated Gatti, but I was young and stupid, not realizing what a warrior he was...RIP

13:44 ".....as soon as the swelling went down" that shit had me rolling! 🤣🤣

RIP Arturo! This was the first one of your videos that had me amping up but tearing up at the end. I'm grateful for the guys I got at the gym like this. I'll make sure to give em a good fight next sparring session in honor of these guys' trilogy. Something special about professionals who show up to work but are kind and friendly to each other outside of the art.

Rhythm Boxing just made me come back here again...Great boxers, Great trilogy, Great Channel🥊🥊

I remember watching Ward vs. Gotti live with my dad and my brother. I was hooked on fighting all styles of fighting after this fight. I was absolutely entranced by it all and I remember all three of us screaming at the top of our lungs on our feet cheering them on.

This channel is awesome! The narrator brings out the real excitement in these classic fights. Let's not forget the war between Marquez and Israel Vasquez.

This channel is gold.

Whenever I think of epic trilogies, the Gatti vs Ward is always what comes to mind. I remember watching these fights as a kid.

Greatest trilogy ever and what makes is better is there was no titles at stake, just 3 fights to see who was the better fighter. Two epic fighters to grace the sport of boxing, both legends. R.I.P. Arturo "Thunder" Gatti

Greatest trilogy in combat sports history and my mind will never be changed. Rest in Power Arturo.

My senior prom was the same night as Gatti/Ward, and I made it to the mountain top three separate times that night….and my most vivid memory is the next morning coming home and having my mind blown by that fight

Yessss my favorite boxing trilogy even watching this recap is bringing me to tears.

One of THE BEST FIGHTS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! R.I.P. Arturo "Thunder" Gatti!

I watch a lot of boxing, but Rhythm Boxing, in my opinion, make the very best docs on RU-vid. They never disappoint. The narrator has a very professional sounding voice. Please do one on Smoking Joe Frazier.

The respect these 2 had with each other became realy good friends and still gave it their all Edit: this video gave me goosebumps

Every gatti vs ward presentation is a must watch. Never gets old. R.I.P Gatti.

I can’t believe that this channel has 138k sub

The narration is second to none, the edit is magnificent and the love for the fight and the fighters you can feel it, absolutely top notch stuff, thank you.

props on giving the augustus fight, the attention it deserves. was fortunate to be watching it live on espn. all time classic. if gatti v ward wasnt THE best fight in history, we would be talking about that augustas fight even more.

Two Men,Two Warriors,Two LEGENDS..purely Magnificent

True warriors of our time. Laid all their insecurities out for all the world to see. Giving everything they had. Til the very last second

These are the best fights of all time , my time , the late and great Gatti RIP greatness

That ramones quote got my subscription .

Gatti was a bobble head at 9:58. This was the combo I always remembered from this trilogy.

Great memories of watching this trilogy! True warriors 👏🏾

I remember Gatti vs Ward 1 and watched it live at home. Within 30 second sof round 1 I was standing and I didn't sit down again until the fight was over. Like a kid, I was jumping up and down, throwing punches in the air. By round 4 I was heering for BOTH fighters. How you know greatness is that it transforms people. I know I wasn't alone in rooting for both fighters and also not caring one bit who won AT ALL. It was like the world didn't exist and the fans merged with the fighters in one unit. I am, like Ward, from Massachusetts. I ran into him at UFC 33 or 34 in Connecticut. I asked for his autograph (this was before selfies and cell phones) and he had so much nerve damage in his hands that he had trouble holding the pen. When he went to write his name, he froze for a moment, as if he forgot his name. There, I knew, that all the wars he had been in were beginning to affect him. I am not sure what he is like today, but I hope he/his brain is in great health. People like Ward and Gatti (RIP) deserve to be taken care of for the rest of their lives because of the gidt of entertainment they gave tens of millions.

I will never forget their battles because it was something we never saw before... two guys fighting to the brink of exhaustion in almost every round. The ability to absorb the punches that came at their heads and bodies just blew me away. It was gladiator combat in a boxing ring. What those two gave us was a once-in-a-lifetime fight 3 times in a row. It was amazing to see these guys become best friends and yet still go to war with one another. Simply amazing and I will never forget it for as long as I live. It's to bad Gotti died in mysterious circumstances because he deserved to ride off into the sunset and recieve his Boxing Hall of Fame day with Ward by his side.

I named my son Arturo it's the greatest honour I could bestow on both of them!

YOU CAN FEEL THE LOVE FOR THE SPORT AMONG THOSE TWO.JUST AWSOME!!!!!!!...

3 huge battles in only 18 months! Another legendary fact about this trilogy.

Thank you for this video i was asking for it for a min🤟🏼🖤💯

can't imagine a much harder life than working on a road crew during the day and being a journeyman boxer on the side

Thanks been wanting on this one 🔥🥊

YESSS FINALLY MY FAVORITE FIGHT EVER

Gatti and Ward, A DOG OF A FIGHT 👍❤️

This is the best boxing channel of all time! The content, the quality of everything, the information….. top of the line channel man!!! Keep up the great work

"like that bear from Revenant" sweet baby Jesus that is one of the best things I've heard a fight description a long time!

That left hook to the body. Is one of the greatest punches. To be thrown. Gatti getting up from that. Was one of the greatest moments to me.

Amazing in the 3rd fight that they could fight each other like that after becoming friends. Two champions belts or no belts. Two warriors forever bound together for all time. Great video brother

GREAT JOB! The Gatti/Ward trilogy is as good as it gets.

"After his voice getting raised in octave" Bruh!!! that is hilarious

Weirdest thing how these guys began really becoming friends after the first fight, how they could come out and beat the crap out of each other in the ring 2 more times then flip a switch and have mad respect and admiration for each other outside the ring. Their whole dynamic was on a level mortal men can't relate to. Amazing..

So glad Gatti got into the hall of fame. Not the best boxer by any means but one of the toughest, bravest and most fan friendly fighters ever.

Watched the first fight live on accident. Watched the next two live on purpose. For all fight fans, both boxing and UFC, occasionally...very occasionally...there are match-ups that transcend sport and look like a movie. This was one of those.

20 years today 💪🏽 top 5 best fights in boxing history

Awesome production. One of the best sports films I've seen on YT,

These guys are unbelievable

Augustus was one of the Goats. Pure love for it.

Blood, sweat, and tears, embodied.!

The commentary 👌🏽 🤣 😂

AMAZING!! BEST NARATION EVER.

Lowell, Mass REPRESENT!

Wow, what an incredible story. RIP AG

I've been looking for this one for awhile good to see it again....

In fight night round 3, ward was one of the guys who were tough to beat, especially when you set the difficulty to legendary

This channel is brilliant. Please keep it up. 🤝.

Such fury unleashed in this trilogy which no mortals have ever seen.
