Buddy McGirt: From The Corner of the Gatti-Ward Trilogy Buddy McGirt reflects back on the trilogy between Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward from his view in the corner of 'Thunder'. Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward went to war three times to become like brothers. Photo Credit: EM Photography “It was something you’ll never forget. You know what I mean? It’s just something special, just what makes it more is the intensity from the crowd. And then you have Michael Buffer doing the announcing. You can’t really explain it.” The saying, ‘they don’t make them like that anymore,’ could most certainly be applied to both Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward, both warriors who left it all in the ring on 100 occasions combined, three times against each other. James Lupton revisits the famous trilogy between the pair with Hall of Fame inductee, Buddy McGirt, who was Gatti’s trainer for the trilogy.
