I was a professional in Massachusetts in late 90s. Its not surprising. I weighed in one night at 133. Guy i was fighting was 156. They announced me at 152
The fact that ward went 10 rounds with a strong junior middle is impressive. By just comparing their upper bodies, it was definitely more than 9 pounds.
Just seeing the effect of the punches that go straight to Micky's guard you can tell that guy's weight is WAY ABOVE. I have no recall of seeing a boxer throwing his rival a meter back just punching its guard. Outrageous.
I remember that fight against Uncle Rog Mayweather. The Rio was a pretty new casino & this was one of the earliest attempts to get into the "Caesars/Hilton" stratosphere of a boxing mecca.
Ward was psyched out by the weight and strength advantage Mungin had. Mungin could bang too. Tough fight for a 22 year old just figuring out the pro game.
Crazy how much weight Mungin had on Ward here, it was slightly more than Gatti had on Gamache (Gatti had 15 pounds on Joey, Mungin had 17/18 1/2 pounds on Ward, obviously I’m not discrediting Mike here) Edit: Sources say either 145 or 154, so it might just be 8 pounds
From Philly & yes that's what it means lol. Now I'm not sure the circumstances but someone reported their car stolen or said he took it w/o their permission.
Yrs ago,they weight in days before the fight,then at fight time there 20lbs heavier, easily 20lbs on ward,hearns used to do it all the time,most of his career he had 15,20,lbs on everybody,they should weight in hr before fight,this guy is three times bigger then mamby

A long night.

20 pounds
Meh I'm 5'8 200 lbs and I'd knock em... Lots of disadvantages most of them are 6 inches taller and 25 lbs heavyer...
@@thejamesbondshow9754 Actually Mungim weighed in at 145, while Ward came in at 136.

So I'm a cruiserweight and Heavyweight... I fluxawait between 195 lbd-205lbs...
@@sebastienleblanc2708 Sounds about right for that weight class, although I wonder where Bridgerweight would fit into this
@@decidingpaper6324 in your corner.
@@sebastienleblanc2708 LOL, not like anyone cares about that weight class anyway, the shelf sounds like the optimal place to put it 🤣
ESPN was around in '88 lol 10:41 crazy he got up from that what a treat this is!
Goes back to '79. You would not believe what ESPN used to show. Literally you would think I am making it up.
Gatti vs Ward fights were boxing 🥊 greatest rivalry
Bernstein never once spoke of the ridiculous size difference.
Good point !
It would piss off premotor
Is unauthorized use of a motor vehicle a nice way of saying he stole a car?
From Philly & yes that's what it means lol. Now I'm not sure the circumstances but someone reported their car stolen or said he took it w/o their permission.
Hey Rich, you need to show one of the Arturo Gotti Micky Ward fight. I remember some real good brawls couple of warriors.
Hey Victor, great series obviously but it's made the rounds too much on other channels.
@@RichtheFightHistorian well, I suppose that makes sense. Thank you though I really enjoy your channel.
Shouldn't have been able to happen
Exactly, yet frequently did. Shocking really 🤨
Pls do len wickwar ❤
I grew up in Lowell , MA....Mikey Ward still lives in Massachusetts . 👍
"Pops"#truschoolsports🥊🥊
Im from Massachusetts used to box pro out in Brockton and Boston in 90s
17:43. Mungin was probably 170 lb? 😀
PHILLY FIGHTERS. VS LOWELL ENOUGH SAID. BUT. MICKEY'S A BANGER.....BODY SHOTS...HOOKS
Micky let dickie hold the controller for his fights
ward got Gamached
I wouldn’t go that far but yeah, the weight was too much
He did not get Gamached. Poor Gamache was pulverized. Ward went the distance.
Like to see something on oba carr Anthony baby faced Jones
Greatfight mike 🔥🔥🔥fast hands
MIKE definitely Was the better Fighter that night..... Philly.,..
Yrs ago,they weight in days before the fight,then at fight time there 20lbs heavier, easily 20lbs on ward,hearns used to do it all the time,most of his career he had 15,20,lbs on everybody,they should weight in hr before fight,this guy is three times bigger then mamby
