For those of you who, like myself, somehow missed it in 2016 when it was released, there is a great new book out on the simply unforgettable three-fight rivalry warriors Aturo Gatti and Micky Ward engaged in back in 2002/2003, that just has to be read. If you didn’t get a copy – released as it was just before Christmas – and you care anything for the Gatti-Ward fights, then “Intimate Warfare: The true story of the Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward trilogy” is a must.

Arturo “Thunder” Gatti: a warrior fans will never forget
Arturo “Thunder” Gatti was, as all fans agree, a special – very special – fighter. One who gave his all in the ring too many time to remember. No-one will ever forget Gatti; least of all his millions of fans and those men who had the honor (if that’s the right word) of meeting him in the ring.
Gatti, who retired with a 40-9(31) ledger has been inducted into The Hall of Fame. These highlights and more from the incredible career of “The Human Highlight Reel” go to show why:
