Does Gatti vs. Ward or Corrales vs. Castillo top our list of fights over the last two decades?

5/18/2002: Arturo Gatti and Mickey Ward fought to a unanimous decision in favour of Ward. It was the first of three fights between the two light welterweights. 

This video is of the ninth and tenth rounds, considered by many to be the greatest individual rounds in boxing history, and the last great boxing match in general.

AL BERNSTEIN SALUTES NEW ENGLAND CHAMPIONS

“New England Boxing Royalty” will be recognized on November 8th  

Hall of Fame Boxing Announcer Al Bernstein has declared Sunday, November 8, as a day when “New England Boxing Royalty” will be recognized and honored. On that day Bernstein will serve as Emcee for a special event at which USA Boxing New England honors five amateur standouts who went on to become world champions. The honorees are Vinnie Pazienza, Mickey Ward, Joey Gamache, Jose Rivera and John Ruiz.

“The careers of these great champions taken together create a tapestry of the excellence and importance of boxing in the New England area,” Bernstein said. He added, “The achievements of these men made such a lasting impression on the sport. They have different styles in the ring and different personalities outside it, but the common trait these men share is the heart and will of a champion. I have been honored and delighted to announce matches of every one of these champions.  Those personal memories make this even more special."

This event, at Anthony’s in Malden, MA, is a fundraiser to assist young amateur athletes with traveling expenses to regional and national tournaments. For more information on this 2015 tribute dinner and USA Boxing New England visit www.usaboxingnewengland.org or call Ed Santoro at 718-329-9577.
