The late Arturo Gatti and “Irish” Micky Ward engaged each other in three epic fights in 2002 and 2003, and they will be chronicled in HBO’s “Legendary Nights: The tale of Gatti-Ward,” which will debut Saturday night following the telecast of the junior welterweight interim title fight between Mike Alvarado and Ruslan Provodnikov from Denver.
All three 10-round fights between Gatti and Ward went the distance. Ward won the first one, Gatti the second and third. All three bouts were vicious.
