HBO to air entire Gatti-Ward trilogy this weekend

Fight fans, set your TiVo, DVR or even your VCR this weekend if you don't have the Arturo Gatti-Micky Ward trilogy in your personal collections. HBO is going to air all three fights this weekend, first starting at 9pm ET on Friday (HBO2) and again starting at 10:15pm ET on Saturday (HBO).

The fights will also be available on HBO On Demand from July 20 through August 16.

It's still a rotten shock that Gatti is gone, but to see the boxing world and HBO come out to celebrate his career the way folks have the last few days has been nothing short of beautiful. Gatti will never be forgotten.

Here's the latest from ESPN on the investigation:

Quite fitting that they have to show the fights after the watershed.... :)
