The Fighter was just on FX. Its one of my favorite movies. The only thing i don't like is that the chronology of the fights were off. Like when he met the girl he said he lost 3 straight, then fought Mike Mungin and lost in the next scene. He fought mungin before the 4 fight skid. Either way, great movie.
It got me thinking of this fight.
I remember watching it live with friends and being floored, literally blown the fuck away at how fucking GREAT this fight was. Not that it wasn't expected to be a good fight, but certainly wasn't expecting what ensued. Even George himself said it was one of the best ever, and had probably one of, if not the greatest round in boxing ever.
For any of you boxing fans that never saw it, you owe it to yourself to watch it. You will not be disappointed. Actually their whole trilogy was phenomenal.
They won fight of the year twice in three fights...lol
