Film: The Fighter

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I removed the synopsis provided which suggests that the film is about his famous fights with Gatti which are not even mentioned in the film.

"The film chronicles the brothers growing up in Lowell, and how Eklund pushed Ward back into the ring after his early retirement leading to the three bouts with Gatti. "

error in dates in statement and reference

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Have never posted anything in Wikipedia before but there seems to be an error in dates. In the "Personal Life" section it makes reference to Dicky Eklund being arrested for assault and attempted murder in 2009. However, the refernce for that is listed as 2008- that's obviously not correct. One of the dates must be wrong. 192.138.57.36 (talk) 02:48, 4 January 2011 (UTC) KMLReply

Is Micky Wards brother mentally retarded?

Latest comment: 10 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

In the movie the fighter, he is portrayed as an imbecile. I was wondering how accurate that depiction is. 69.127.244.66 (talk) 15:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

He was an addict, that should answer your question. AnyGuy (talk) 03:17, 28 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
