greatest thing to come from massachusetts, micky ward is a ballsy retired junior welterweight professional boxer from Lowell, Mass. Irish and standing at 5'8'' he had a 38 win 27 ko record. He is most famous for his three fights with Gatti, the first of which he won (look it up and watch it) and the second he lost in a knockout after taking a serious beating and a punch that broke gatti's right hand. Not the most skillful boxer, Ward had an amazing left hook to the body and could take hits like only an Irishman can. He is the subject of the song Warrior's Code by dropkick murphys and he is on the cover of the album. A true underdog, Micky Ward is God.
It's another murderous night
Another left hook from hell
A bloody war on the boardwalk
And the kid from Lowell rises to the bell
Micky
It's a warrior's code
Micky
He's got the warrior's soul
Micky Ward
Another left hook from hell
A bloody war on the boardwalk
And the kid from Lowell rises to the bell
Micky
It's a warrior's code
Micky
He's got the warrior's soul
Micky Ward
