Classics from the Fight of the Week archive. Another chance to see the July 2001 bout between Mickey Ward and Emmanuel Burton.

tonight on ch5 at 2.10am

didn't Burton get robbed in this fight?

I didn't think so.

Good job I already had it on tape otherwise I'd have been GUTTED for missing that.

Can't remember exactly how I scored it but Burton didn't have to make it so hard for himself. He probably wasn't in top shape.

It was close but i don't think it was a robbery, i always maintain that this fight was better than Ward-Gatti I, a brutal war with loads of punches thrown...a real joy to watch.

What a fight!!!
well worth staying up for (although I feel knackerd today)!

Nah,not a robbery.Close fight but Mickey Ward seemed to want it more & also the knockdown swung it for him

Fantastic fight, better than any of the Gatti vs Ward fights.

Bad judging although the right man got the verdict.
