Micky Ward's brother Dickie, who is portrayed in the movie, was the 1st man to put Sugar Ray Leonard down as a professional. Probably a better fighter than his little brother, but got caught up in drugs and did time in the Walpole State pen. He actually started a bar fight, and the Lowell, police ended up breaking Micky's hand in several places, smashing it on the bar with night sticks. He retired for several years and lost a lot of the power in his right hand which as an amateur and early pro-was his money hand. He developed that double left that got him back in contention. Great guy. Tab tab
