What is widely regarded as one of the greatest fights of all time took place on May 18 2002 between Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti. I watched the fight live on HBO and have to agree, it was amazing. Unfortunately Gatti was found murdered in his hotel room in Brazil this past Saturday. His wife is believed to be responsible.
I started this blog a couple of years ago when I used to print and sell t shirts with bike related designs. The name of my blog was the name of my business, Rat Trap Press. Rat Trap, referred to the old style road pedals, and Press of course referred to my screen printing press. Due to some sudden unexpected expenses I had to sell my screen printing equipment. I decided to stick with the name, RTP, and continue writing about my relaxed paced adventures around Fort Worth, Texas. Please take some time to say hello.
That's two tough dudes. They're supposed to be making a movie about Micky Ward.

ReplyDeleteTwister-I read about the movie yesterday. That should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteAlexis-He definitely had heart. I'm sure Mickey Ward is taking this pretty hard. They became good friends after their series of fights.
